Sitting in the cockpit and killing off opposing aircraft, vehicles and ships. This is what Aero Fighters Assault, the first flight simulator for the Nintendo 64, which appeared in 1998, offers.
AeroFighters Assault
In Japan the game was released under the title Sonic Wings Assault (ソ ニ ッ ク ウ ィ ン グ ス ア サ ル ト). The playing field offers you different game modes, a practice mode, a main game and a variant in which you are attacked. In the practice mode you fly through different rings and get a feel for the machine. This is especially useful for beginners. If you follow the story in the normal game and defeat your opponents, you have the opportunity to face them again in the Boss Attack mode. In the main game you have the choice between five different chats, which differ in terms of weapon equipment, for example.
Down with the opponents
The aim of the game is to shoot down as many opponents as possible before you reach the other. There are two bonus levels to discover. Your weapons are, besides the normal miniguns, missiles. You have the opportunity to play the game in different levels of difficulty. Multiplayer is only possible for two people. Difficulty levels available to you are easy, normal and hard. It is important that you create the right tactics for your opponents. Be careful not to fire your missiles right from the start.
Graphics and sound
the sound has not become completely realistic. Compared to normal flight noise, the gunshot sounds are more realistic. At the beginning of each mission you will be briefed on the objective of the mission. Unfortunately, the briefing will only be held in English. The graphics turned out very nice. The cockpit and wing are clearly visible. Clouds and water are graphically well represented. Enemies, ships, submarines and jets
are a bit angular. The explosions could have been represented better.
Conclusion
The game is not for everyone. The multiplayer mode is fine. The Rumble-Pak is ideal. The game itself has battery storage, which is why you don't need a memory card for your N 64. Sometimes the game seems a bit very difficult, which can sometimes lead to frustration. Those who like jets can still have a lot of fun with the game.
