Carrier Aces
More realistic than 1942Genre: simulation - flight
Publisher: Gametek
Year: 1995
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Yet another Cybersoft / Synergistic title. This is three in a row now. The other two were Air Cavalry and Spectre. Yet another Mode 7 title with the same engine. Training sessions are thankfully available. Dogfight is completely impossible. Worst dogfighting I've ever seen in a video game. The Japanese Zero is so much better than the US fighters that it's not even funny. Torpedo and Dive Bombing have a trick to them (correct elevation and timing) so there's nothing to them. Top Gun for NES is more fun than this.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
7 levels/scenarios which have a mix of 4 different modes. The game is basically just a series of minigames.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
I really want to like this game. Fighting the air war of Pacific theater is a great idea.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Same horrible Mode 7 graphics with poor scaling of the sprites.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Minimal sounds and music
Overall Score: 32
