Flight simulator games have come a long way since the days of After Burner, giving way to crisp and clean visuals, near realistic control and pulse pounding audio as well as some pretty addictive game play. Agile Warrior does a decent job of picking up where most Sim fans would want their game experience to be, but lacks in some of the navigation portions of the game! Piloting your fighter jet can be something of a chore, but the straight out explosive action will draw more action gamers than it will actual simulation fans. Through several missions, you'll pilot your jet in battle missions that take on other fighter jets, or ground targets, but all in all, you're looking at a game that follows in the footsteps of the Ace Combat series in just about every way! However, with some slightly dated visuals and lack of depth filled missions, some gamers may find that this title is better suited to become a rental game than it would be an actual purchase. As with most action games that boarder on simulation, you'll find that Agile Warrior offers up plenty of stiff action and several missions that range from the easy objective of blowing up enemy planes, to the insanely hard of running a target down and dealing damage to it! Where the game takes a steep curve, is during the later missions, in which the navigation doesn't quite hit the target, and you'll find yourself wandering aimlessly through those missions while trying to find your target! Another slightly discouraging factor here, is that the game is strictly one player, so you've got nothing to look forward to if you're wanting a game where you can blow up a friend! Considering that you have a lack of a two-player mode, you may find that the missions blend together with some repetition that you would only find in early games of this type. However, if you look a little deeper into the game, you have to take into consideration that this isn’t the type of game that should be considered a great epic battle. With most games of this type, it takes a certain amount of patience and practice to play, which really doesn’t take away from the game play but offers you challenge that is either increased or decreased depending on how you want to play! The control is stiff, and in some cases, unresponsive when you're trying to pilot your aircraft through the various missions. The navigation in this particular game leaves plenty to be desired, although some fans will find that enough practice will give way to a better control in the game. Either way you look at it, you'll find that if you're new to the genre will find that the control will take plenty of practice to get used to! Beginners to games such as this will find that there are plenty of things that you’ll have to learn and work with in order to get through the game successfully. Again, with the lack of a navigation that actually benefits you, you’ll find that the game offers you little or no help outside of forcing you to use your eyes and your bearings instead of a machine, just like a real pilot would have to.Read full review
First and foremost, this game really isn't for anyone looking for Ace Combat story-lines, or people who aren't violence-tolerant. Other than that, this game was made for you! This game is probably geared more toward plot-casual players with lots of skill, if such a thing exists, as this game gets pretty hard in later levels. The story isn't much to look at, at all, but it can be fun for someone bored and looking to cause limitless destruction in a short period of time. Death is everywhere in this game; you can blow up buildings with fanatically high amounts of bombs and leave only grid-like "Scorched Earth"-looking land renderings (which basically tried to look like craters), you can blow enemy planes out of the sky, and something not seen very often anywhere, you can parachute-strafe helpless enemy pilots when they try to parachute to safety, leaving only a bloody and mangled upper torso dangling from the chute itself. Come to think of it, you can even shoot some of the trees to make them burn and wither. There's little that can't be destroyed, especially when you can pick up floating weapons upgrades. Your ship will become damaged from combat, and thus you will need to fly through Armor repair pick-ups, oxygen-replenishing pick-ups for you to breathe in-flight, fuel-drums to replenish lost fuel, and of course the weapon power-ups. They're a load of fun; you can pick up cluster-bombs, rockets, missiles, dumb-bombs, and remarkably nuclear bombs. Pre-level briefings prepare players of what's going on as all flight-sims do, but this game actually featured live-action video clips of officers briefing pilots in tents sometimes reflecting the environment of the theater of action the player would be flighting in. There were something like 11 levels, in most or all regions of the world. For someone after senseless violence and lots of destructive power to the point of being humorous all while behind the joystick of an experimental (not anymore; the real F-111 project never got off the ground, and the F-111X was mostly fictional) fighter jet, this game is for them.Read full review
