Need a Cheap, Quick Shot of Gaming?

All of the talk about this game being similar to Star Fox 64 is well-deserved, although it should not be in a detrimental way. This is one of the most solid shooting games for the PS1 and, even better, it can still be found for just a few dollars in most locations. On the other hand, this game is really only worth a few dollars.

One of the benefits of this game are the good graphics (well, at least for their time) and the ability to slightly modify your fighter's capabilities depending upon the wingman (or woman) you bring into battle with you. An extra bonus is that this game is moderately difficult so it won't necessarily be a simple breeze through the game.

The negatives, however, are a bit more important. The game can be completed in just a few hours and has almost no replay value whatsoever. It's nice that the game attempts to have a plot but it also forces you into very slow-paced 3D moments where you talk to your compatriots and walk around your own base, which breaks up the action too much and extends gameplay artificially.

So, if you want a quick rush of good gaming this could be right up your alley. It's cheap and available enough to bring some entertainment into your day. However, with its lack of extras and somewhat lackluster moments, you may very well be best off trying to sell the game once you're done with it. When all is said and done the game really is a one-shot deal at most.
