The game is Wings 2: Aces High releases forth SNES by Namco. It is an arcade style flight sim.Now graphically, the game looks really, really good. The airplanes are all quite detailed, and it actually controls fairly well although you'll find it to be somewhat stiff. Really, you’ve better be happy that you've got infinite ammo because accurate aiming is all but impossible.
Really, you're just going to have to point your plane at the enemy and just let fly. Now the game also mixes it up a bit when it comes to the missions. Sometimes you'll be going on fighter sweeps to shoot down enemy fighters, but other times you'll be going on bombing runs to take out factories, and then sometimes you'll have to go on a mission to shoot ate tank or a truck.
These are very difficult. These are some of the most annoying in the game because you fly so fast and you can't see very far which means the truck will appear in about two seconds and you have to have the bloody reflexes of a Force user to shoot the bloody thing. The game also has a rather novel pilot upgrade system, although I'm not really sure how it works.
You have these sliders and you can give your pilot better skills and mechanics and shooting and things of that nature, but when you actually play the game it doesn’t really feel that much different. The game also has a fairly unique lives system as well. It's legitimate "lives". Whenever your pilot dies he's actually dead and you lose a real life, thus making the game somewhat dark in a way. You really don't want to lose a mission because that means your pilot’s dead. (enjoy the flying with 3DS Emulator )
He's buried. He's gone. That's pretty intense for a SNES game. Overall, Wings 2: Aces High is a decently made flight sum. It doesn't have any real deficiencies when it comes to graphics, or music, or game play, and manages to be a fairly memorable game from the SNES era, one that I do indeed recommend picking up. And so, this is Jon, signing off.
