Difficult and not rewarding

This game seems like it was designed for an arcade stick, and seeing as how I do not have a dreamcast flightstick and have no knowledge of one or urge to buy one, I have to say that the dreamcast controller is not nearly adequate. Though the control scheme is fairly friendly, the sensitivity of the analog will send you flying into barrel rolls with a movement of a fraction of a degree, with no options that I could find to adjust this (though I didn't look hard, as I was far too disappointed with the game to keep going). Turning in formation is nearly impossible, and why would you want to if you couldn't swoop in on enemies together. Because there are none. No guns. No nothing. It's like cheese pizza: it's still kinda good, but you feel like it isn't complete.

I borrowed it from a friend and couldn't stay on it for more than ten minutes.

Good, not classic game

Being an aviation enthusiast myself, I found it painful to demote this game to 4 stars, as it has tons of potential that may or may not have been unlocked in AeroWings II (I do not have this game...yet),but I believe it could have been done in such a way that it catered to all ages, as the concepts of flight you need to grasp in order to fullfill the missions are both involved and sophisticated. However,if you have previous knowledge,you will find this game quite enjoyable, and might want to consider buying it, as I have come across no better flight simulation.Although I do not recomend buying this soley for a child, if you are into aviation and have a child, he/she might enjoy the free flight mode where you can do as many crazy aerobatic manuevers as you want... just don't hit the other planes. While this game is not superior to other games in terms of graphics, sound, or any other technological feats, that is personally not what I look at before buying a game. Instead I judge them on how enjoyable they are to play. Therefore,this game earns an A+, and I'm glad I bought it. That brings me back to why I gave it 4 stars. The answer? I wanted to scare away those not familiar with aviation from buying the game based on the mostly positive reviews other than mine.

Horrible game big waste of money SONIC ADVENTURE 2 RULES!

Aerowings has a nice veriety of planes to choose from. The plane graphics are great but the enviromental graphics arn't so good. The first times you play it it can be fun to land and take off the plane, but soon it just gets kinda borin'. You don't get to shoot down other planes and make them crash to the sea or blow up all the buildings, it's just fly'in around like an air show. You don't get to land on any air craft carriers so that makes it no fun! The music can get very annoying, somtimes it makes me feel like smashing my fist into my T.V screen to stop that horrible racket! Even if you like this game in the begening you'll get so bored of it you'll wish you hadn't even bought it!Overall I would give this a thumbs down 2 star failer. Don't waste your money on this other games like Airforce Delta are good. Here are my ratings if you wish to read them.

graphics: Horrible

music: Even Worse

missions; Boring

replay value: All of the Above

overall rating; 2 stars! (PATHETIC)

Great Game!!

I recieved this game nearly a year ago, and it still has my interest. It is full of different aircraft which are very accurate. Also, this game is a console flight simulator, acutally it is the first one I've seen. The graphics are fairly good for what the game is. I give Aerowings 5 stars!! *****

For people SERIOUS about aviation

For everyone who loves aviation,this is an incredible game.It simulates TRUE flight in various aircraft.The phyics are right on,the detailed planes are incredible,and each plane handles true to character.For people longing to be real life pilots this is a great experience.For trigger-happy individuals,wait for Aerowings 2:Air Strike.

excelent game

This game I envisioned in my head almost a year ago. This game is 95% of what I wanted out of an airplane demonstration game. I only wish it was about the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. The game is not for action or Air Combat lovers, it is for those who would like to learn aerodynamics such as: flaps, landing gears, roll rates, pitch, smoke, etc. This game is very detailed with "REALISTIC" flying, and is VERY difficult. If your an air show fan you will love it, if you like formation flying with a friend(s) you will love it, if your into strafing missions, an all out non-realistic flying combat - wait for Ace Combat 3 or something better for PS2. Good luck and don't crash!

Don't even think of buying or renting this game.

Don't waste your time playing this game. Although it has a high detailed terrain but the game is too boring.

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible!

I wish they had a No star rating cuz that would definately be on my list. I had purchased the game 1 day after recieving my dreamcast. I got it out of the package and played it for about 2 minutes, Everyone else that said that this game sucked is ABSOLUTELY correct and those of you who liked it, I dont know what your thinking. Do not even recieve this game as a gift, if someone buys it for you take it back.I recommend NFL 2k because it is almost real. I am going to use The Aero fighter game as target practice when shooting my rifle.

Waste of money

The alternate name for this game, Aero Dance, describes how much fun this game is. It might as well be a game about dancing. If you "break formation" you have to wait through 30 seconds of loading, exit a replay, wait 30 more seconds to load, hit retry, and wait 30 more seconds. Don't buy, rent, or even steal this game; it's not worth it. This game should be called "Aero... through the wallet." If you like fun games, I suggest Test Drive 6, Hydro Thunder, NFL 2K (blows me away), Toy Commander, or anything else but this one.
