This is a game that very frusrating becouse of the play controls. You have to control every thing from the landing gear to the back rudders. This game is like flying a real plane so if your looking for fast action than this game wouldnt be for you. I rented it and sucked.

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.

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.

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.

Wasted gift certificate...

This is possibly the worst game to come out since the decline of the Atari 2600. The best thing I can say about it is that I got it with a gift certificate, so it didn't waste MY cash. I never knew that you could stuff so much crap into a jewel case so neatly. I would suggest buying this if you would like to have one more game than the rest of your friends. (If you spend a lot of time playing this, then you probably don't HAVE any friends). The jewel case does a great job of keeping my table level!

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.

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)

Not a "Blowed up real Good" Game -Technical and Challenging

Ask yourself "What do I want in a game?". If the game is flashy but easy to beat people get bored with it and complain it's not challenging enough, but if a game like this one comes out and is challenging people get frustrated and say it's too hard to beat and give up on it. This is a game that requires that you use your head and not your cheat manual. The physics of the game is like flying a real plane. There's a lot to keep track of and it is challenging, but you get used to it. The game is broken down into various missions and some of them seem impossible but if you use your wits to think about and work through the situations you will clear the levels. To me, half the fun of gaming is trying to figure out on your own how to beat what seems unbeatable. The game's "Flight instructor" also insults you if you crash, which is a nice touch. A decent title if you want to use your head instead of putting your thumbs on auto-pilot.

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.

Cool Flight Sim

The other review of this game is misleading. The person obviously did not spend much time with this masterpiece. This game is truly excellent in every area - control, sound, graphics. This game is difficult, but it is also very rewarding if you spend time with it. If you want a game that has great depth and replay value, then get Aero Wings. It's alot better than Air Force Delta. Aero Wings is one of the best experiences available on Dreamcast.
