The Good
This game was the best top gun, and air combat on the sony Playstation. The mission is to stop the enemy and finish the war. I like the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 because it feels like operation: Desert Storm. The Music and Sound is the best in Air Combat.
The Bad
I don't like the Hard Mode, Because with one missile coming right at me, I died. It's all that trial and error.
The Bottom Line
Air Combat is the best game on the Sony PlayStation, but I know the two-player mode was fun. so get this game and kill some fighters.
