Sounds like it will fill the bill for dogfighting. Looking foward to the European release!

Cheers Sean. You can't believe how proud I am (personally proud) of the guys. They seem to have really taken onboard suggestions etc by you chaps, listened to my concerns/suggestions and put together a little gem.

Roll on the EU release:)

I'm really impressed at how well this is being received. I've seen hardly a complaint and everyone seems to love it. Gotta get some points, baby!

I was playing the free fly mode and decided to whip out the landing gear and see if landing was possible. As it turns out, you can land pretty much everywhere, even on water.

Just beat it on the American side...haven't tried flying as Japan.

Definitely a lot of fun, and the non-mission dog-fighting option (I forget what it's called...Sky Ace or something...) is very addictive. I do wish it put a little star or something next to the levels that you've completed, or somehow maintained records of how many planes you shot down or something...giving you something to reach for on replays. Hopefully in future episodes we'll get this.

Overall, I'd say this is probably a high 8/10. I'm not doing the review here, so don't take that as an official NL opinion or anything...but there you go. I'll give the Japan missions a whirl soon.

Is there multiplayer? How long is it? Also, is there a cockpit mode?

Cockpit mode would be cool but I imagine REALLY REALLY hard to play. lol
Also there isn't any multiplayer, but Legendo is planning to make this a Trilogy, so I imagine one would have multiplayer.
Best you support the game to get your multiplayer action. I mean at 7 bucks you can't go wrong.

eripmav said they're planning on adding multiplayer in at least one of the two remaining episodes. I imagine it'd be the next one.

That was our main concern about the cockpit view, it'd impede on the enjoyment factor:)

Like Hardy said, MP is something we're looking into but as always, it's all dependant on how Ep1 sells.

>> Taking suggestions huh, how about 80's sounding music. <<

80s music for a 40s game? WWII not TopGun dood!

Online multiplayer would be epic.

Aww dang lol, Top Gun is what I was thinking. Lol Highwayyyy tooo the dangerzone!

The thing that I think personally about MP, is what kind of percentage of Wii owner's actually play online? I know a huge percentage of you dudes here do but then generally speaking, the average Wii owner's pretty much oblvious of getting it online let alone online gaming?

You know what you should add? National Socialist War-machines and UFOs. Totally historically accurate. During Pearl Harbor back in Berlin they were constructing them. You should have the final boss be an alien UFO and then every nation in the world gets together, INCLUDING GERMANY AND JAPAN and fight together as one! To defend the Earth!

God Bless America

I'm aware of that, but it shouldn't be any more difficult or take any longer than what you did to include Classic controller support.. GC controller support should still be automatically linked to Classic controller support in the developers' minds. Please correct this oversight in the other two games. It could be different in this game, but my experiences with Sonic and the Secret Rings, Mario Kart Wii, and Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing have shown me that tilt steering doesn't work well without MotionPlus, and I'm not going to spend $20 just to improve the controls for this trilogy and Eduardo the Samurai Toaster.

As for online play, I think most people who would connect to the Wii Shop Channel to buy this game in the first place also play games online.

PWNED!!!!

If you have your Wii connected online (which you do if you download a WiiWare game), there's a very high chance that you're going to play it online. I'll be very disappointed if not even one of these episodes has online MP.

This. I still play Overturn online, despite there not being many players on it. If this gets online support (and as long as it's advertised well), then it could be a big success.

I rather they spend their money to focus on the main game. There's a big chance that maybe after a week people will stop playing online.
