4.0 out of 5 stars the game, October 21, 2007

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This game was pretty good.

I thought that it was going to be bad but it was actually pretty good, the levels were just a little to easy though. Overall it was good. I recomend that you shoud buy this game.

I was getting bored of my nintendo ds and then i bought this game and now i play it all the time. When you play the game over agian you don't even realize the difference from when you first played it the first time. You got to do everything, shoot the planes, fly the plane, drop the bombs, everything. The only thing I have agianst the game is that you fly solo and not with other planes. Its awesome, still buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring and repetitive, July 9, 2007

By	Brian J. Ross (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I was hoping this would be an attempt at a 3D combat flight simulator, but I was very disappointed. This poorly implemented shoot-em-up is repetitive and tedious after a few minutes of play. The 3D graphics are almost non-existent, and the audio loops become very annoying. The DS touch interface is not used to great advantage either.

It would be great to see someone eventually develop a flight simulator for the DS, in the spirit of the old "Red Baron" or "Aces over the Pacific", both of whose graphics the DS should be able to handle. Unfortunately, B-17 is not such a game.

Kids love this game but it is so easy for it to get lost/misplaced because of its small size.
