Skyhammer
Description official descriptions
In a futuristic city, you are a mercenary pilot flying a helicopter-like craft in cyberspace. Hired by the large corporation Cytox, you are to defend its corporate holdings from those who seek to destroy all it has accomplished.
The numerous missions involve flying to several large cities and hunting down the renegades who threaten them. You have a cockpit view of the city as you hunt down your enemies and dock at the Cyber Mart for repairs. As you destroy your enemies and complete missions, you can earn credits for buying more supplies, weapons and ship upgrades at the Cyber Mart.
Play in Mission Mode or Battle Mode. To win the game, you must complete each mission successfully. The enemies become more tough as you progress through the "levels" of gameplay.

The Good
In Skyhammer, you’re a hired mercenary pilot flying a helicopter-like aircraft in a futuristic ''Blade Runner'' city, shooting enemy tanks, other aircraft and picking up valuable packages.
Skyhammer has really nice, intuitive controls. I like the way that while being shot at from behind, a Skyhammer pilot can simply roll 180 degrees upwards (or downwards) and fly upside down at the enemy while launching a missile or two. The controls are also quick to respond.
I also love Skyhammer's graphics. They’re much smoother than most other 3D Jag games, and do a good job of creating the illusion of being in a true 3D environment.
The Bad
The sound effects and music are okay, but nothing special. When I first sat down and tried playing Skyhammer I found things very confusing and difficult to figure out. The first couple of hours were frustrating as I kept getting killed off with little warning.
The Bottom Line
I rate Skyhammer as one of the better games for the Jaguar
