Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you have the patience to hone your flight skills, Master of the Skies The Red Ace provides an action-packed simulation of an in-air dogfight. In this third-person game, you find yourself in the cockpit of a World War I-era fighting plane. Your goal is to complete your mission by using your machine guns and bombs to destroy your flying foes and strategic buildings. We were impressed with the 3D graphics and the realistic perspective from the air, but we had some serious problems controlling our plane with the mouse. In fact, we crashed so many times we nearly quit in frustration. Thankfully, configuring the mouse sensitivity via the Options menu helped us finally get off the ground. In addition to specifying game controls, you can alter camera angles, disable music and sound, optimize graphics for your PC, and change the screen resolution. Though it might take a while to get the hang of Master of the Skies The Red Ace, those who stick it out will find themselves rewarded with an exciting combat simulator.Publisher's description
From Small Rockets :The game formerly known as Hunt For The Red Baron is an addictive flight-combat challenge set in the war-torn skies of WWI. There are no keys to learn or manuals to read. Just grab your mouse, take to the skies, and give those dastardly Huns a pasting in 25 thrilling missions.
