WW I Flying Fun - Reviewed on 2006-01-30

For the most part, the World War I scenario is well put together and is a fairly challenging game. One moves their way up the ranks as skill and daringness prevail. The graphics do not do Xbox justice, but are okay. My only real gripe is that there is only one view as you fly the airplane (as if you are just behind the plane, or as the game says, "flying machine"). I would rather have a cockpit view while flying... Incidentally, a realistic perspective is offered while manning various machine-guns - go figure. Overall the game deserves a chance to match skill and wits with the enemy!

This is a very good game. The graphics are great, the simulation is great, the action is great, and it's fun to play. Since I'm only 11, this game gets frustrating, and there's cusswords in it. Other than that, this is a great game for people who like the historic airplanes.

I have played the pal european version of this game which was released earlier.There are 2 modes this game has-the campaign mode and instant action.The campaign mode is the main mode here.It starts off with a tutorial explaining you the basic flight controls after which you are thrown into the missions.Your objectives include not only taking down enemy planes but shooting balloons,taking photographs of targets etc.The binoculars come in handy in spotting ground targets.The game boasts some nice effects like solid explosions ,leaving a trail of smoke behind.The voice overs during the missions are actually good .As for the graphics,i didn't like them that much.Yes,the backgrounds have detail,but the textures lack polish.They don't look xbox quality.For a 'next generation' xbox game,i expected the graphics to be better.The missions got boring aftr a certain point of time.The game failed to 'draw' me in and give me the impetus to continue it further.
Wings of war is basically your average air combat game with a World War 1 kind of atmosphere thrown in.Die hard fans of air combat games may want to have a look in here.Other gamers will be better off staying away from this...
