Advantages: Graphics, Handling, Weapons.

Disadvantages: Online.

This game is a breath of fresh air, it might not be the best game ever, but offers something different and is actually one of the first good games in it's genre for a long time. The presentation is very good, but it's quite hard to get used to and not everyone will be able to play it.

The design on the case is nice, as is the disc. The box is also very good, not having the 'tight' grip seen on FIFA 09 that meant the discs would sometimes crack.

The presentation of the game is very good, with the simple menus that are easy to navigate.

There are plenty of modes for everyone, but somethings need to be unlocked which is very annoying. You need to play the career mode first, which I found to be boring, with a confusing story. I would have much rather preferred to be able to fly over the different areas first.

The graphics are very good, but not the best seen on the PS3. The sound is also very good, and realistic, making you feel like you are in the air. The controls are also good, easy to learn. However, the game is quite difficult so not everyone is able to play. The trophies are also hard, taking lots of effort and time to be able to achieve.

The gameplay is solid and fun. The controls work very well, with the the handling of each plane is different, working well with a difference from the light fighters to the heavy bombers. The weapons are also very good, being able to feel the power and difference of firing a laser-guided missile or using the machine guns.

Also, the online is quite weak with little modes and nobody really online.

Overall, this is a great game, with lots of gameplay to last a long time. It's not for everyone though as it is quite hard. The graphics are good and the handling is also impressive, with each fighter or weapon having a nice feel.

Summary: A good game, with a nice feel.
