In Lethal Skies, you fly deadly military airplanes like F-14s, F15s, and F-16s that are equipped with the latest modern weaponry ranging from infrared missiles to radar-guided bombs. Your objectives are simple: Seek and destroy enemies in the sky and on the ground without getting killed. The solid controls enable you to zigzag through the clouds and weave through canyons with ease, but you may feel a bit frustrated with each plane?s handling due to the overly sensitive analog stick. Even controlling your afterburner and air brakes can pose a problem.
The sights and sounds in Lethal Skies aren?t pretty, either. Bland environments spoil the tension of the action with sparsely filled areas and boring explosions. Sadly, your jet?s afterburner effect is the best bet for dazzling your eyes. Annoying voices from allied forces don?t help the intense battles, either.
Eject! Eject! Eject! Your willingness to fly the unfriendly skies with Lethal Skies will quickly fade. You?re better off staying on the ground or soaring with a top gun like Ace Combat 4 or Dropship.
