Barely playable
This game is a little like a supermodel: it's a visually attractive, polished game with very little to offer beneath the surface.
What's so wrong with the guts of this game, you ask? Mostly, two things.
1. The controls. I think 95% of your reviews so far mention this, but in case you didn't notice, I'll say it too: the controls are god-awful. A short press on the arrows sends your plane careening uncontrollably towards the sky or into the ground (or, more often, into another plane). You really need to ease up on the inertia variable in your engine.
2. The gameplay. There's really remarkably little to recommend this game as far as the actual experience of playing it. This is a mini-game, really. All you can do is move up and down. That's it. And the controls make even this extremely limited play concept an exercise in frustration.
