The other review of this game is misleading. The person obviously did not spend much time with this masterpiece. This game is truly excellent in every area - control, sound, graphics. This game is difficult, but it is also very rewarding if you spend time with it. If you want a game that has great depth and replay value, then get Aero Wings. It's alot better than Air Force Delta. Aero Wings is one of the best experiences available on Dreamcast.

Ask yourself "What do I want in a game?". If the game is flashy but easy to beat people get bored with it and complain it's not challenging enough, but if a game like this one comes out and is challenging people get frustrated and say it's too hard to beat and give up on it. This is a game that requires that you use your head and not your cheat manual. The physics of the game is like flying a real plane. There's a lot to keep track of and it is challenging, but you get used to it. The game is broken down into various missions and some of them seem impossible but if you use your wits to think about and work through the situations you will clear the levels. To me, half the fun of gaming is trying to figure out on your own how to beat what seems unbeatable. The game's "Flight instructor" also insults you if you crash, which is a nice touch. A decent title if you want to use your head instead of putting your thumbs on auto-pilot.

This game I envisioned in my head almost a year ago. This game is 95% of what I wanted out of an airplane demonstration game. I only wish it was about the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. The game is not for action or Air Combat lovers, it is for those who would like to learn aerodynamics such as: flaps, landing gears, roll rates, pitch, smoke, etc. This game is very detailed with "REALISTIC" flying, and is VERY difficult. If your an air show fan you will love it, if you like formation flying with a friend(s) you will love it, if your into strafing missions, an all out non-realistic flying combat - wait for Ace Combat 3 or something better for PS2. Good luck and don't crash!

I recieved this game nearly a year ago, and it still has my interest. It is full of different aircraft which are very accurate. Also, this game is a console flight simulator, acutally it is the first one I've seen. The graphics are fairly good for what the game is. I give Aerowings 5 stars!! *****

For everyone who loves aviation,this is an incredible game.It simulates TRUE flight in various aircraft.The phyics are right on,the detailed planes are incredible,and each plane handles true to character.For people longing to be real life pilots this is a great experience.For trigger-happy individuals,wait for Aerowings 2:Air Strike.

Expedient shipping. Arrived VERY quickly. Case, book, and disc are immaculate. Have not yet had the chance to play it as my system is disconnected until the room is remodeled, but this "used" game appears brand new. No apparent damage or scuff marks at all. Owned this game 8 years ago and I'm very happy to have it back!

Thanks! Great seller!

This game seems like it was designed for an arcade stick, and seeing as how I do not have a dreamcast flightstick and have no knowledge of one or urge to buy one, I have to say that the dreamcast controller is not nearly adequate. Though the control scheme is fairly friendly, the sensitivity of the analog will send you flying into barrel rolls with a movement of a fraction of a degree, with no options that I could find to adjust this (though I didn't look hard, as I was far too disappointed with the game to keep going). Turning in formation is nearly impossible, and why would you want to if you couldn't swoop in on enemies together. Because there are none. No guns. No nothing. It's like cheese pizza: it's still kinda good, but you feel like it isn't complete.

I borrowed it from a friend and couldn't stay on it for more than ten minutes.

Being an aviation enthusiast myself, I found it painful to demote this game to 4 stars, as it has tons of potential that may or may not have been unlocked in AeroWings II (I do not have this game...yet),but I believe it could have been done in such a way that it catered to all ages, as the concepts of flight you need to grasp in order to fullfill the missions are both involved and sophisticated. However,if you have previous knowledge,you will find this game quite enjoyable, and might want to consider buying it, as I have come across no better flight simulation.Although I do not recomend buying this soley for a child, if you are into aviation and have a child, he/she might enjoy the free flight mode where you can do as many crazy aerobatic manuevers as you want... just don't hit the other planes. While this game is not superior to other games in terms of graphics, sound, or any other technological feats, that is personally not what I look at before buying a game. Instead I judge them on how enjoyable they are to play. Therefore,this game earns an A+, and I'm glad I bought it. That brings me back to why I gave it 4 stars. The answer? I wanted to scare away those not familiar with aviation from buying the game based on the mostly positive reviews other than mine.

The alternate name for this game, Aero Dance, describes how much fun this game is. It might as well be a game about dancing. If you "break formation" you have to wait through 30 seconds of loading, exit a replay, wait 30 more seconds to load, hit retry, and wait 30 more seconds. Don't buy, rent, or even steal this game; it's not worth it. This game should be called "Aero... through the wallet." If you like fun games, I suggest Test Drive 6, Hydro Thunder, NFL 2K (blows me away), Toy Commander, or anything else but this one.

I would give this game a 5 because it has such good realism and wonderful game play.its good for many hours of play.its also has a very chalanging but good multi player game but once you get the hang of it it is relly cool.its levels will take you a bit of time too beat. so that is why i would give it a 5.
