Shock and Awe, Pure Shock and Awe!

How do I start? Umm...ok buy this game and buy X-Box Live with it! This game is pure genius! I must admit, a year ago when I first heard of it I thought it was going to be a horrible PC port. They polished and made it shine with the Live support. The graphics are among the best on consoles and proves why you bought an X-Box. The first time you watch the casings from your bullets fly past your wings you will understand. And the suttle details like small pieces blowing off of zeppelinns when your bullets rip through its hull are amazing. Along with nice water affects and beautiful explosions this is a great graphical package. The sound is top notch with great voice acting that makes you fall in love with the heroes and despise the bad guys. There are great affects like the sputter of your engine and cursing of your enemy as he eats lead. Whats that you say? There's no game without gameplay? Well I'm happy to report this has tight controls that keep you coming back for more. They are easy to learn, but have special manuevers to learn so you come back for more. I like the set-up with the triggers as your weapon buttons so you can unleash bullets and missles without having to move your thumb. The only gripe is the game is a little on the short side, but that doesn't matter because it has Live support to keep it playable forever. You won't forget the first time you take down a veteran pilot and watch his plane explode into nothingness, pure satisfaction! All in all, great package, go buy it!
