This game is one of, if not THE best game out for the Xbox since Halo. It belongs in the company of ever-popular Xbox Live games such as MechAssault and Midtown Madness 3. If you like games of skill, you will enjoy this game. If only i had more time to play...

Fast, Fun and The Thirties...

I have completed the game, and I must say, Microsoft did a really great job on this title. The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up, and they are greatly used in the dogfights and the boss fights. The boss fights are exceptionally creative, and they both require strategy, pure firepower, and air prowess. The first three boss fights are mechanized bosses, but they do have weak points that can be exploited and must be destroyed quickly. The last boss, however, is reminiscent of Ace Combat 4's final boss, but unlike Ace Combat's, this boss is moving and has varied exposed centres that must be destroyed within a few minutes (five minutes or so between major targets). Lastly, the graphics is commendable, exceeding Ace Combat's in its interactivity and simulated realism (e.g., water effects as you skim the ocean water). The exploding derigibles are also pretty cool, especially the mechanised tessla derigibles. The only con is perhaps the tunnel mission for the Lost City. More than half the time I was lost since there was no map or even some type of assistance. The multiplayer is exceptional, but I do like it on Live. Overall, this game is one of the best first party XBox games to date (luckily, no more Katujo Chojin and other miserable titles of the past). If you like Ace Combat or other games of its ilk, it will beat it!

Well boys and girls put away your barf bags it is time to blow crap up. This game is a really smooth playing game the first night i got it i played for hours and hours. This game has it all. You can get different airplanes to keep in your "blimp" and after being a good air pirate and takeing everyones lunch money and and collecting wings you can upgrade your planes as you earn enough money and stuff. Not only do you fly planes and kill crap you can also get out of your plane and jump in gun turrets sweet sweet and more sweet. Well if you like to fly and kill junk get it.

XBox Live to the fullest!!

I've got this game about a week ago! I will tell you, it's addictive, and i am referring to the online part of it. The single play is also fun, but lacks a little more to get the 5 stars. If you do not have a broadband internet conection, i do not think is worth to pay the full price for this game. The single mode acctually prepares you for the online matches, there is where all the fun is. I've spent about 7 hours playing online on one single day! Wow. Do yourself a favor, and even if you are not so sure about buying, so at least rent it. I will see you online!

Great game, great music!

Would you like to shoot stuff?
Would you like to shoot stuff in a plane?
Would you like to shoot things like trains?
Would you like to play the whole game in one sitting and get severe eye strain and rattle your brains until you can't sleep for weeks and your cheeks get excederin pain as you tweak?

Cool. Me too. Maybe twice. Online is fun, too.

My favorite Xbox title

First off if your a fan of flight sims go away, this game is for those of use who dont care about trim, landing gear and all other kinds of things that take away from action.

I first played the PC demo of this game a few years ago, while it was an ok game it was more fun online. Now that this has been revamped for the Xbox its much more fun. Sadly I haven't gone online with this game yet but its easily one of my favorite Xbox games. The Best Graphics award from X-Play is why I got this game but it turns out that I dont even notice the graphics. The game play and story keeps me drawn to the title.

I cant wait to get Xbox Live so I can get online with this game and get the downloadable content and play it online.

Non stop fun

Whether you just play the single player or connect to Xbox Live, Crimson Skies is a must play. The graphics are fantastics and the gameplay is easy enough to jump right in, but difficult enough to keep you playing for hours. The dogfights on Live, however, are phenomenal. Coming around a bend to see 15 other planes fighting is just a rush. Get this game now!

TOTAL BLAST!

There are many long reviews out there, and I have little more to offer than this: This game is highly addictive (but in a good way). Me and my friends will play it for hours having a great time, loving the superb graphics and game play. Once we finished it (after a long, long time), we just went back to the beginning and started it all over again. I think I have played the game all the way through about 7 times now. Two of my game playing friends have bought it for themselves now. Unlike some other games you get a LOT of replay-value bang for your buck, pound, yen or Euro. Love this game. Go buy it.
