4.0 out of 5 stars BEFORE THERE WAS STARFOX . . ., May 31, 2001

I'm not saying that this game inspired Starfox, but chances are pretty good that it did. Like in Starfox, your flying vehicle is made up of polygons. Where Starfox has R-wings, this game has an F-14. There is a nice variety of levels, ranging from slow-paced scroll-and-shoot, to high speed chases among polygonal mountains, to supply-dropping missions, to behind-the-shoulders shooting, tricky landing sequences, etc. Your craft can turn left, right, increase and decrease altitude. The weapon selection is nice, but the price you pay for that are some sometimes clunky controls. Tap a button once for this attack, but Press a button once for this one. There are some cheats for this game, but I've never gotten any of them to work. A controller with Turbo-fire comes in handy, but watch out on the last battle, or you'll shoot past the ending!

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Captain Sky Hawk (Video Game)

This was the first flight simulator I ever played, and while it seems quiant looking back, it blew me away at the time. Considering when it was made, the graphics are excellent, the gameplay is exciting, and overall this game will give you many hours of satisfaction. Unlike the overpriced throw-away games offered today, this one could pull you in again long after you had beated it to imporve your score, get new weapons, and have a blast! Trust me, this is one you'll want to play more than once to truly appreciate.
