fairly good
This game is pretty fun. I got a Wii for my kids and got this game for me. I have played it twice and had fun both times. I am no game expert by any means so take this for what it is worth.

Great action play! Simple, but not too simple!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GX2VGNGMXTIU My only beef with this game is that it's very redundant and unrealistic. However, real life is boring, so they had to put in non-real-world scenarios and give your fighter endless ammo limited only by over-heating. I love the controls of the game, it really adds to the fun! Here's a video of how it all works!

A fun 3/5 worth $30.00 game
I was actually able to pickup this game for $20.00 a week ago, and have been blasting through the missions. The flight controls take some getting used to, but once you know them, flying around is a lot of fun. Unlimited missiles and ammo is a bit unrealistic, but fine for this type of arcade title.

What's lacking?
- Multiplayer support (vs or coop would have been nice)
- Next-gen graphics (the Wii's capabilties were not pushed at all)
- A compelling storyline (Tie Fighter back in the day had an awesome story)

Overall, a fun ride, and worth $30.00 if you can find the game for that price. Hopefully enough people will buy this game, prompting Codemasters to make a sequel incorporating one or more of the above points. Then we'd have a 4/5 or 5/5 title.

flier
I need takeoffs & landings, it shuld be easer to fly the aiecraft, reduce the number of controls. I don't fly it much because of all the complications.

If you liked After Burner, you will love this!
Honestly I like Heat Seeker; reminds me of the arcade hit After Burner. It has everything that makes a video game great including unlimited ammo and missiles. The graphics are great for the wii and the wii remote integration is natural. You start out with a basic jet and then move on to faster ones as you successfully complete missions. The missions have a common theme; shoot everything, don't get hit. You can also upgrade the type of missiles your jet carries but I have found only slight differences in the performance of each one. Any jet you fly has two speed settings; fast and hela-fast, watch out for mountains. If you're a coward just shoot everything down with missiles, if you like a challenge try shooting down enemies with your canon. I was never much for school or relationships but I have become quite good with the canon.

The Good: Nice graphics. Awesome rendition of retro shoot'em up game. Interesting missions (some actually require more than holding down the fire button). Take out land and air targets with a cool arsenal of weapons. Nice natural control with the wii remote.

The Bad: Really annoying Commander voice, stop yelling for crying out loud! Your jet can take damage when in a fight but it will eventually become unusable. You really just have to ditch it and start over. You can set the controls to video game or real flight mode. I'm no pilot but I tried real flight mode but after landing in the ocean every time I've given up on that. The unlimited ammo gives this game a hint of unrealistic play but it is what it is.
