Is it a bird? Is it a plane? YES, it's a plane!
Six O'Clock High is a chaotic new aerial dogfighting game. Take to the skies with super easy and intuitive controls, luscious unique graphics and a thirst for gunpowder!
It's all about becoming an aerial ninja by piloting your plane throughout waves of increasingly skilled enemies. The best fighter aces will be sent against you, do you have what it takes to win the day?
Earn upgrade points after each wave to spend on 14 different aircraft upgrades. From titanium armour and rockets to eye exams and a full English breakfast. Yes you read that correctly.
Now get to it pilot! We need you in the war effort!
Nice ideas, bad execution:
plane controls - at best awkard at worst suicidal, half the time your craft climbs or dives opposite your wishes, right in an enemy's firing angle
gun control - BAD the Ai gunner is demented at best shooting wathever it wants instead of the more immediate threat, also doesn't cover your six correctly
gun control 2 - no firing control on forward guns?! the AI can't use them effectively and the player can't use them at all, damn it, just this docked 2 stars from the rating
interface - no health bar, ok the smoke coming from the plane could be a hint, but this way you can't even check if the mecanic ability is working!
sound - volume control would be apreciated
my score is best with 23570 :P
Alright! I GET it! You have your OWN special site with this game! ENOUGH!
Seriously, EVERY click on EVERY screen sends me to that damn site! To get through the intro I had a browser with 10 tabs ALL GOING TO THE SAME @#$%ING PAGE!
Then I close them so I can finally START the damn game, and the @#$%ing "start wave" button SENDS ME TO THAT @#$%ING SITE AGAIN!
Well, I've played a few 1WW shooters in my life, but this one is unique in its concept, when you have to focus on dodging enemy bullets and rely on your gunner's skills.
Just a few brief remarks:
1) It *definitely* needs fire button for the front guns. I know it's supposed to be about synchronizing with the AI gunner, but what kind of shooting game is it, when I'm not allowed do deal the coup de grace on my own, feeling that power of life and death under my finger.
2) A mission system with orders, briefing, primary and secondary targets, etc. would give the game some more complexity.
3) German campaign please! The Entente won the war 105 years ago, just give some screentime to the bad boys.
Anyway, it's a good game and certainly deserves its four stars.
