AIR FORCE DELTA STORM (AFDS) is a flight simulator that is fun for all ages. There is a myriad of different planes to choose from and many missions that are quite challenging as one progresses. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Big Dissapointment

I had always wanted to try Air Force Delta Storm for Xbox. So I bought it and it was bad.

My friend watch me play it for two seconds and said it was the most graphically challenged game they had ever seen for Xbox. It actually did not look a whole lot better that the originally NES! Well maybe I am over doing it a bit.

Not only last, but airplanes are supposed to roll left/right when you want to turn. On this game you steer left/right like you were driving a car!

The only positive thing I have to say about this game is the sound was pretty tight. Using the surround sound and hearing the jets go by was pretty cool.

More fun than hand grenade...

An excellent game. It features a huge variety of aircraft to choose from. From the venerable old A-7 thru todays F-22. You get to shoot up all kinds of ground equipment, surface ships and aircraft. If you are flight simulator person, don't bother. This is all about flying around destroying stuff in varying scenarios.

Switch Controls to "ACE"

I found that if you go to options and change the control configuration from novice to ace, it will give you the ability to do barrel rolls and fly upside down. Very Fun Game in my opinion!

Not a bad arcade style game

It is a fun game to play, but replaying some missions over again is more like an arcade game ... more than anything else. Granted in real life a pilot might have to hit tanks or other ground targets over and over or he might have to fight it out with a roaming CAP group, but the designers could have dressed it up better. It does take a little getting used to ie. to shoot, especially the mini guns, but it can be done. All in all, I rate it a 3.0 to 3.5 game. Get it and play it, but its not worth the megabucks it had been selling for, more of a 19.95 type game.

Its OK

AFDS the Best Armchair Air Force Ever, Over 70 planes.

When I ordered my XBox, Sept 1st, 2001. I ordered 3 Launch Games also. Halo, Oddworld, and Air Force Delta Storm. I have had my XBox for 7 mos now, and AFDS is still the game I play the most. Flying games have always been my favorite games. AFDS gives armchair pilots, the best and biggest flying game Air Force, ever put in any flying game. You get over 70 jets, the most famous combat aircraft in the world from the late 1950s to present and beyond. Aircraft from US, UK, France, Far East, Russia, Canada, Middle East, China. Plus you get many past, present, and future jet prototypes, including many stealth aircraft.
F4, A10, F15, F22, F26, Su-34, JSF, Mig 1.44, Lavi, F2, Super Harrier, Yak 141, F117 Nighthawk, Su-32, and dozens more. You fly them in over 50 missions, air to air, air to sea, and air to ground, and combination missions. The game is by far the best looking eye candy jet sim ever, high res models, textures, and amazing light and shadows effects everywhere. The Dolby 5.1 combat sounds are great. Jets scream, the missile effects are so good you can dodge them by the audio. Tracers sound different, depending on where the bullets hit. Explosions shake your walls.
Enemy AI is good for a air combat game. Planes fly acrobaticly, will make head on passes at you, fly in formations with wingmen, always try to get on your six. Enemy gunners, and SAMs are deadly shots, so you have to out fly them also.
AFDS offers lots of variety in planes and missions. Replay is high. The game works great with the XBox Thrustmaster Flightstick. A hard to find game in US, since it sold out shortly after launch. Game available in Japan and UK, under different names. The best sim lite, action jet flyer ever. WOrth a [$$$] bucks, if you love jet flying games. Free Demo version on some OXM DVDs.
Happy XBox Flying

If you're a collector, the fact that this game was in limited production alone should entice you to purchase. The game itself is pretty good. Like all games, there is room for improvement. To really enjoy this game you must set your controller to Expert or Ace. This really allows you to experience flight simulation. On novice control the game is boring.

Over 70 jets to choose from. The way the game works is you earn credit/dollars upon successful completion of missions. With those credits/dollars you enter the market place and purchase different aircraft. Be careful with what you buy. If you crash it, its gone until you go buy it again.

... Well worth the purchase. Some of the things I don't like about the game are the replay and the fact that you don't see yourself crash. It would be much better to see myself actually going down in flames. Some say I see that everyday.

This was my first ever experience with video games and I found the instructions very vague. They assume you've played before and are familiar. I guess most are though, but for me and my family we were frustrated. You have to fly the same mission over and over before you can move on. I thought I'd have my pick of planes and missions but no. Saying 70 planes or whatever is very misleading. Once you finally win, there are no instructions how to "save" so you don't have to start from square one again. Turn it off and boom..back to sqaure one. Other complaints that escape me now. But graphics incredible and I hope to meet someone who can explain what the instructions don't.

Don't expect a flight simulator - and don't waste your $

This game does have very nice graphics, but the flight "model" is pathetic. As another reviewer stated, you can't do barrel or aileron rolls, making it nearly impossible to get an advantage in dogfights. All you have are elevator and rudder control. Also, there is no real AI - it does appear the enemy does hte same thing every mission (once you get into a dogfight, the enemy will try to get into the best shooting position).
Knowing this, there is no way I would waste my money on this game - I got it as a gift. I can't believe some people here and on Ebay are paying big bucks for this game. Better to wait and hope someone comes out with something better.
