Classy Gamer reviews The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, the latest Wii air combat game by Project Aces, creators of the Ace Combat series.
Sky Crawlers suffers from a faulty main control scheme, but proves very enjoyable with a classic or GameCube controller, bringing to the Wii an engrossing and deep story, crowned by anime cutscenes produced by one of the most acclaimed studios in Japan.
Gamertell has posted a mostly positive review of Xseed Games' The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces for Wii.
From the review:
"All of this comes together to make an odd little anti-war wargame that also happens to be the best air combat sim currently on the Wii. It has its troubles, none of which should deter you if you've been pining for quality dogfighting action since finishing Blazing Angels."
Snarkasaur of SK writes: Project Aces has attempted to bridge this gap over the years with a series of console-friendly flight games, and for the most part they've been well received. Sky Crawlers tries to bridge the gap even further by combining a flight engine with an already established book and anime movie. For many, particularly those who found the Sky Crawlers movie enjoyable, this gap was not difficult to traverse. It's a smart move, and for the most part it works because it not only adds a pleasing aesthetic to the game, but gets an enjoyable, while not uber-realistic, flight sim into the hands of those it might not otherwise have found.
ive lsot patience a psp ace combat this year with no sign of a proper one...... comeone aces get the lead out
The above comments did make me think of something I forgot about in the review, mainly that this game got me interested in the other Project Aces games.
Not in the story missions, though honestly at least on a medium difficulty time was never a factor, or at least a pressing one.
There is also a free mission mode though.
Thanks. Thats good then, i can't wait to fly around.
I sometimes play the flight simulator on google earth, quite fun just to dive lol
So im really looking forward to this game. My first flight 'sim' really
For 30 dollars it's certainly worth it. The textures on the ground aren't the greatest but the wii controls are fun. Wiimote does accelerate, dpad yaws, nunchuck is like the flight stick.
I haven't played that far in but the controls are very nicely done. If you like flight sims but not enough to invest in expensive joysticks it's a good purchase.
