Completed Crimson Skies High Road to Revenge.
This is the most inspiring game in a long time. Second episode boss is a giant mechanical centipede.
Then 3rd episode starts with a duel of two zeppelins between Chicago skyscrapers.
I like how Brigand plane, the heaviest yet, has a rear gunner that reminiscent of Lancaster bombers.
There are some pacing issues in the 4th episode, like mandatory bet with British tourists (?) who downs more Nazi zeppelins. And I’m not a big fan of flying through corridors, especially Aztec corridors with huge pendulums. But this level is much more forgiving than Ace Combat games.
I also stumbled upon the bug of getting stuck after escorting the first Sun Disc. What helped me was to tackle that mission first, then help the tourists.
The final mission is though, but fair. If only there were checkpoints between blowing different parts of the huge Nazi zeppelin.
But then I guess it would be too easy. That way, the boss does give some trouble, but also plenty of satisfaction once you fly through all the turbines and blow all the cores.
