Surprisingly, there aren't many flying games in general for the next gen systems, and those that do exist are usually your modern day fighter jet simulation. So it’s nice to see this game set in World War 2, as it’s the sequel to the original Xbox game Heroes over the Pacific.
The battles take place during attacks on London, all the way to the destruction of Berlin. The main advantage of a flight combat game based in this time period is that aerial dog-fighting was a lot more close combat orientated back then. No computer guided missile systems, it's all about the machine guns baby.
The story promises to adhere to the time period while allowing a certain amount of camp humour from the time period, and show offer up something vastly different from anything else we’ve experienced on the Xbox 360 before.
