When I saw that it was supposed to be a PSP game, and it involved a helicopter, I was dismayed. I thought that this would have made an awesome XBLA game, or even one for the Wii.  But, despite all that, the game looks pretty good.

The controls were the first thing that I was going to be worried about, yet they handled surprisingly well. The Analogue stick is used for movement, with the shoulder buttons being used for strafing. Triangle gives you a lock-on, and all the other buttons (circle, square and cross) give you a weapon to fire. There was no buttons for altitude, and I found myself having to leave the movement controls to swap targets. Your index finger is on the shoulder buttons, and that means that you can’t try to do all three at the same time.

The graphics were pretty solid, the image header being an enlarged screenshot from actual action. I was impressed, since 3D games can’t really be used in portable games without looking shoddy. There are always exceptions, but that’s the general rule. All in all, I wouldn’t say that this is a system title, but if you already have a PSP, keep an eye on it if you have a little trade-in credit left at your local store.
