So remember when I talked about how I had a few Xbox games when I got Halo 2? Well, actually, you don’t cause I never said- Anyway, I had very few, but they were all decent games. And one of them was the exclusive game known as Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. When I saw this game, I didn’t know how I would enjoy a game where you only sit in a plane, but once I actually got to playing it, I soon started to enjoy myself.
Crimson Skies is a game that is all about flying in a plane in the classic retro era of the 1940’s as Nathan Dra- Nathan Zachary as he goes on a quest to find his friends killer and stop an evil organization from taking over Chicago. But how does the plane gameplay work? You have the basic flight controls for any video game. Pointing down makes you go up and vice versa. You also have a quick dodge, a fire button and the ability to launch missiles. Very simple on the controls. No Steel Battalion stuff needed here. And yet why does combat always feel so exhilarating to play. You are always in a huge battle against several enemy planes, so dodging and perfect firing is necessary in this game. This game also has what I like to call obstacle sections where you just fly fast and hard, avoiding buildings, rocks, and stuff exploding as you try to survive. It’s real crazy, and really gets you moving your ass to make it to the end. And surprisingly, the story was something I found myself to be really into. I mean, I don’t know how great it is nowadays, hell, it could be a damn mess, but I do know it had a book of it made, so how bad could the story be that it needed to be put into book format. Just like the original Halo games, and everyone loves their stories.
Crimson Skies was the first game I played that was only limited to your vehicle, only with a plane instead of say a car, and I loved it. I thought I would be less than impressed with this game, but I came out satisfied and wanting more from the world of Crimson Skies. And then I remembered no one bought it so those hopes got dashed. Come on, Microsoft. Re-release this game for modern Xbox consoles. It’s an exclusive so it’s at least got that right.
Come little children
Come with me.
I’ll take you to a land
Of fantasy
Please little children
Don’t you cry
Hypno wouldn’t even
Hurt a fly
Please little children
Don’t you squirm
These ropes, I know
Will hold you firm
I know I said
This isn’t true.
But sadly,
Hypno lied to you
Now, little children
You weren’t clever
Now you’re trapped with me
Forever…
And then the police broke in, beat me up, and arrested me on several accounts of attempted pedophilia. I guess I should have tied them up in a cave instead of a big white van with candy in the back
