 REVIEW: 2009-04-21

Four or five missions in and I'm still trying to come to grips with the complex controls. For instance, I have been playing this whole time thinking how weird it is that the jet mode has no throttle. In fact, the left trigger is the throttle for both modes!

I have a feeling that once I master the controls, blasting baddies out of the skies is going to be a whole lot of fun. However, I have found that you cannot properly target smaller ground-based enemies using the default lasers with the lock-on in some cases. This is especially noticeable while hovering.

Otherwise, the world is fairly large and combat gets hectic, though some mission objectives are very unclear. The mini-map is also cluttered with lots of colored dots and no clear explanations (maybe it's in the book). The same can be said for different weapons. I have icons for three or four weapons, but unless I select one and fire a few rounds, I have no idea what the weapon is supposed to do.
