Just a quick post to say wow, what a game

[JohnnyC]

Been playing the demo a lot, it's just my cup of tea

Will deffo be buying it (and I don't buy many games - I only have 4 since getting a PS3 over a year ago).

It certainly looks good from the ads I've seen.

Can you play it without using the voice commands?

[Tiny]

Dont know for some reason there is something really quite satisfying blowing up the jesus in Rio

multiplayer in demo though

your thinking of end war. thats like command and conquer.


this is just a straight flight sim.

[matt_mr2t]

I'm sure I read in the review you do/can use voice commands for this too. I know what endwar is and didnt get it because I wasnt interested in voice commands.

[SamUK]

it didnt mention them in the demo but i did get amazingly stuck at the part where the view isnt behind the plane anymore.

Yeah that stucked! Turned it off at that point.

you got stuck? how? and flying in the cockpit is the only way to play
there are also voice commands (tells u this in the demo) but u dont need them

[Martian_333]

I aint seen this yet, I'm going to try the demo.

Voice commands in games are a crazy idea, what the hell are you supposed to do when gf/wife falls asleep and you slip downstairs for a game of End War only to have to shout into the microphone "Return FIRE!!!".

Its hard enough getting on the xbox as it is!

it wouldnt let me switch the view back to near the plane and ill be damned if i could fly it from about 100 metres away.


dont think id be very good with a remote control plane.

[Tiny]

It s Very easy to get It wrong when your so far behind the plane has anyone tried the 2nd level with the Harrier yet?

Much Much more challenging

[SamUK]

do you HAVE to use that view?

im sure the computer said i could switch back but it wouldnt let me.

[Tiny]

I found that once i went to assistance off that i could not get back to the assisted view. hopefully its just a bug in the program

Its just part of the demo. It tells you that you wont be able to get back to the other view untill you've completed some parts in the bad view.

[Tiny]

Can anyone get under the Bridge Ive managed to fly round Jesus under his arms without crashing.

[JohnnyC]

do you HAVE to use that view?

I only got the demo, but in first level of demo, it allows you to switch to/from that view a couple of times so you know how to do it. But once you've done the stall bit, then you can't switch out of it.

In the 2nd level of the demo you can switch to/from it anytime


Would've been nice to be able to hover the Harrier

[Tiny]

indeed one of the best bits about a harrier the fact that it can suddenly become a stationary missile platform

[JohnnyC]

Also a bit unrealistic that ANY plane (well, the 4 I've flew in the demo) can do that cobra manoeuvre that only the likes of the SU-27, MiG-29 & F-22 (and a few new others) can do.

Despite that, I like the arcade-ness of it
Infinite missiles n all that

[Andy Jones]

The demo didn't exactly grab me and say "buy me" either but a couple of lads in work think it's amazing

A follow-up to Dropship on PS2 would be nice for my dogfight fix.
