    Developer Games Farm didn't deliver us a simulation like promised, but turned Secret Wars into a decent arcade shooter. The multiplayer can be very fun but the singleplayer drags down the score because of the bad voice acting and the simplified AI.

    The budget price is nice, but all that's keeping Secret Wars from feeling like a PSN title are its decent length and online dogfighting options. [Nov 2011, p.87]

    It's a bit of a weird one then, as neither the story nor the action is particularly enjoyable, but neither is specifically bad either.

    If you compare Air Conflicts-Secret Wars with a game like Blazing Angels it is questionable, if anyone will buy this game. Blazing Angels is better in every single manner. The graphics of Air Conflicts: Secret Wars is not up to date, the sound is mediocre, there is simply no story, the controls are way too simple for a flight game and the enemy AI is a joke.

    You can play either with strangers or set up a password proteted game with friends. Yes the menu graphics are poor and the voice acting is laughable but, to my mind, it's the gameplay that counts and this is good old school arcade fun. For those that prefer more of a challenge on the controls there is a "simulation" setting with separate stick control for pitch and roll & button rudder control for yaw.

    Everyone I've introduced this to loves the mutiplayer and we've had some good competitive battles. Ignore the critics and try it for yourself - you may like it !!!    … Full Review »

Mostly nice graphics, also when the ground looks a bit bland, beautiful aircraft models, a lot of different air craft to fly and different mission types. I like the story a lot, because it is not that typical usa-patriot-hero-war-lover but a story of a protagonist, who doesn't care about the war and at first just wants to earn money, but gets dragged into the war and lives through it's horrors and contradictions and she even somehow changes sides thought the storyline. Maybe the English voice acting is bad, but the German one is not at all, it's pretty good in fact.… Full Review »

    I don't care that the story is told by voices and non-moving comic pictures: I got more stuck to it than the standard animated hero stories, because the change and development of the non-heroic heroine and her friends makes me more identify and feels more realistic how war has been to those who got caught up in it. And the missions and even airplanes are so different from one another that it is a joy. The biggest pity is the pretty short story and the pretty unpractical cockpit views which lead you to fly either from behind the plane or cockpitless front view.    … Full Review »
