    A fast, fun game, great for multiplayer or even the newly-patched-in single player Tournament. Friendly controls that are easy to use even for the uninitiated. Recommended, especially at the low price it is available for via Steam. The only drawback is the music which becomes repetitive.

    Great fun for 10 minutes, nice visuals.DogFighter was built for casual players and we realize that the game mechanics. Dogfighter has a very strange mix of both hardcore and casual features.The graphics are pretty good and the plane models are extremely detailed.Game minuses are limited multiplayer, no campaign, small maps, bad controls, aiming is more difficult than necessary.

    The lack of a single-player campaign aside, the game is strong evidence that independent developers take more risks than the big boys. It's a daredevil act to put out a game in a genre that's long out of fashion and it's even more impressive that Dark Water Studios made the game so well-balanced and fun. It's a steal at $10 and a great throwback to the glory days of flight and fighting.

    It's a game for fast and funny multiplayer action, if you find players. Aside that, there's no campaign, no pretty effects, no sense of flying.
