"From the very first seconds"
Strapped in, you dive behind the cockpit of a fighter at full throttle, strafing squadrons and locking on swarms of missiles. The close-up view and the CD soundtrack heighten the feeling of flying on the edge of a stall. No respite, just the rush of the sky: this rail shooter bets everything on adrenaline and instant action.
