Fighter combat on Playstation

The Good
This game was the best top gun, and air combat on the sony Playstation. The mission is to stop the enemy and finish the war. I like the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 because it feels like operation: Desert Storm. The Music and Sound is the best in Air Combat.

The Bad
I don't like the Hard Mode, Because with one missile coming right at me, I died. It's all that trial and error.

The Bottom Line
Air Combat is the best game on the Sony PlayStation, but I know the two-player mode was fun. so get this game and kill some fighters.
