Wings 2: Aces High
There's slow. And then there's Wings 2Genre: simulation - flight
Publisher: Namco
Year: 1992
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
No HUD, no speed, no map, no crosshairs, no nuthin. The barest of bones. Controls are just the d-pad and shooting. That's it. Aiming is an absolute crapshoot. Super slow gameplay. Some of the slowest framerates you'll see in the 16-bit era. Controls are very difficult with super weird physics. Nearly impossible to fly straight.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
The kinds of levels: 1. Dogfighting 2. Bombing 3. Strafing No variety other than the number of targets, so once you've played one level you've played them all.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Bi-plane warfare is...uh, boring. The concept is ok but pretty boring presentation. Introduces your pilots and you can level them up with a skill tree...but I don't think the four skills do anything.
Art Style Score: 1
Art Style Notes:
Looks good in a screenshot but runs just above the Race Drivin' Mendoza line. Kudos for being ambitious but curse you on the execution.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
One track of music. Sound is minimal but ok
Overall Score: 25
