motion Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 The graphics are ok. Quite nice but very very basic. Still miles better than some of the Wii offerings so far.
Owen Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 This game looks cool! ONM stated it's like Burnout but with planes obviously! Another great Wii addition hopefully!
mcj metroid Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 graphics are ok but not good enough. We need more
Konfucius Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Hope this turns out to be quite good. I'm quite excited at the moment but if it lacks atmosphere I'll quickly loose interest and Burnout with Planes doesn't actually sound very encouraging. Also I'm quite unimpressed with the Wii Plane models. Sure they look better and shinier but at the same time very artificial, almost as if they were made out of plastic. I'd rather see scratches and the likes. Also realised that it will be released at the end of the month : peace:
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Uh oh. I heard controls were sucky. I seriously recommend waiting for a review.
Ginger_Chris Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 You cannnot judge graphics based on screenshots AT ALL. I remember looking at half life two screenshots and thinking meh (still preordered it asap). In motion it was beutiful. judge graphics more on any videos they shove out. screenshots hardly telll you anything.

I think ONM are doing a review next month so I'll check it out.
antster1983 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 this is still comin out late march, right? Yep, March 30th
Owen Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I thought the graphics looked really good in motion! and alot of the previews are stating the game feels like it was made for the Wii and the controls work really well. I'm keeping my eye on it. I just hope it's more arcadey and fast then less realism and slow!
Zechs Merquise Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 graphics are ok but not good enough. We need more I agree, they are just very very plain. Not bad, just not inspiring either.
stuwii Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 are they still going to let you control the plane with the nunchuck. the nunchuck looks like the end of a plane joystick if you think about it
Owen Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 are they still going to let you control the plane with the nunchuck. the nunchuck looks like the end of a plane joystick if you think about it Yep, i'm sure they are. :awesome: I just wanna feel like i'm in Top Gun, this may be the game which does that for me.
antster1983 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Yep, i'm sure they are. :awesome: I just wanna feel like i'm in Top Gun, this may be the game which does that for me. But on the other hand it might feel like the flight simulator on The Krypton Factor! :wink: Personally I'm looking forward to Heatseeker.
Owen Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 But on the other hand it might feel like the flight simulator on The Krypton Factor! :wink: Personally I'm looking forward to Heatseeker. If it does, then it would depress the hell out of me! Fingers crossed for Top-Gun style dog-fights!
stuwii Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 play says is out on the 23rd- will it come early somehow?
christophicus Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 The tree and cloud textures are very respectible, but the rest of the graphics are very crap.
The-Ironflame Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 IGN UK review.. 7.6 http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/776/776126p2.html Don't expect to see US based site reviews as it isn't out there till May.
Konfucius Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Wow didn't expect it to score 7.6 Review sounds pretty good and since it's 40€ on amazon I'll probably get it, after completing Stalker - but I guess that'll take longer than I'd like...
Gizmo Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 NGamer were very positive about the game. Haven't got the mag on me right now, but I think the score was in the 8 region. They said the controls were hard to learn, but once they were used to them they were "the controls Lylat Wars Wii should pinch"
Cube Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I thought there was an option for nunchuck steering... The controls in the review doesnt sound as fun now.
The-Ironflame Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Has this been released early? I've been reading about people picking it up as early as today.
c0Zm1c Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I got my copy today from sendit.net. I haven't played much of it yet but in the 20 minutes or so I have it's quite a blast! There's two control methods, Arcade and Professional. The only difference I can see is that professional allows you to control the aircraft's roll by twisting the Wii remote, where as in Arcade mode this is handled by the game. The difference probably goes deeper than that but I'd need to play it more to find out. Or read the manual. In Arcade mode it's really easy to control, Professional mode will take a little getting used to though. The only thing I've used on the nunchuck so far is the thumbstick, which is used for increasing and decreasing the aircraft's speed. The graphics aren't bad, but do nothing to change my opinion that the Wii isn't any more powerful than the Gamecube. Nice cloud effects though, even if they do pop into view somewhat unrealistically.
