Spitfire Heroes aims high, embodies other airplane cliches

We haven't covered Destineer's Spitfire Heroes: Tales of the Royal Air Force much, except to note that it came out last week. The game is kind of a surprise to us now, because this trailer actually looks pretty neat. The environments are a bit spare, but that's pretty much what happens when a game takes place almost entirely above the ocean.
In terms of gameplay, Heroes looks like a fast-paced, arcade airplane game like the vaunted After Burner -- with a little throttle control on the touchscreen, which is fun. We can only tolerate flying games when they're arcadey like this -- we don't want to take a class to play a flight simulator.

That looks kind of cool. Reminds me of Pearl Harbor for the PC.

This makes me think how cool YSFlight would be on the DS.

Have to say it looks good and makes me wonder why i havent picked it up butthen again i thought the same thing about race driver........the reason being.....besides it being hard to find.......no one like the main game......the main game isnt that great but the simple fact that i can design a race track that can be used on WiFi battles is mind blowing!!.......IDK......its a great WiFi game
the above game looks pretty good......might pick it up one of these days
