When it comes to sheer fun you can't do any better than "Crimson Skies" for the first X Box. It's silly, it's fun, the controls are tight, the graphics are great, the story is all right and most importantly the score is amazing.

"Crimson Skies" begins with a well-done cut scene that sets up the world that our characters exist in. It's a world much similar to the underrated world for "Sky Captain" in which the lines are corny, the jokes are silly, and our heroes are constantly battling larger than life bosses. This game is a blast

The game came out years ago but even when played today the graphics hold up very well. Everything from the way the water hits the camera when you glide over water, or the way the sun flares at you when you're too high in the sky. Even the damage that your plane takes and the subtle little animations that make the plane come to life. This is a gorgeous looking game. The characters themselves look a little stiff in the cut scenes, but the actually game play has much better graphics than the cut scenes themselves.

The developers tried their best to offer variety in this game and they succeeded for the large part. Flying planes no matter how much fun can be boring, and the developers took this into account and gave us little moments of breaks from all the flying. Albeit they usually consist of manning an AA gun, or several AA guns for some later missions, but the break they give us is a welcome one and helps the game not feel stale or boring.

The bosses in the game are fun and very challenging. My personal favorite has to be the giant mechanical snake that was a beast to take down. Died about 4 times before finally beating it. Later bosses like the giant mechanical spider and final boss battle are also great challenges, and depending on the level of difficulty one is playing the game at will result in a lot of frustration. But the bosses despite having the same theme are all unique in their own twisted way

One thing about the game I'm not so crazy about would have to be those blasted escort missions. I HATE escort missions. I'm already being shot at but on top of that I have to protect someone else too? But luckily the escort missions aren't too distracting, although it does still prevent me from rating the game as perfect.

Without a doubt the single greatest thing to come out of this game was the fantastic and rich score by the great Stan LePard. LePard channels his inner Korngold and Williams for this Golden Age of film music style of score. The brass is strong and defiant, the winds add color and flavor to the music, the strings weave in and out with grace, and the percussion whiles light makes a lasting impression.

Whiles his bombastic cues feature some intense action that is amazingly well orchestrated, it's the softer moment that LePard shines. There's this amazing level in the game which I think is the 2nd level you play, in which you're searching for Big John. The music is peaceful and so tranquil that I play that level over and over again just hear that lovely oboe led melody. LePards music sounds like it was recorded with a 80 piece orchestra but according to what I've read, the man only had like 40 bodies to work with and yet knocked it out of the park. This is by far the best game music I've ever heard, and hopefully LePard graduates to scoring movies.

The game is fun, it's funny, it has great action, a decent story, and some really fantastic music. This is by far one of the best games of the 21st century and a must own if you owe an Xbox or the 360

Highest of recommendations.

I just wish they online experience was a little better. I also would love to see a multiplayer version of a modern aircraft flt sim for the Xbox that had the same dogfighting as this game

Crimson Skies- High Road To Revenge
Before I start this review, I would like to say that I hate most flying games. Okay. This is one of the best games I've played. I didn't think much of it, as it was a gift, but this game proved me wrong. Aviation games are usually not something I even look at. This game blew me away with its graphics, gameplay, storyline, and sound. I fully recommend this to every one. On a side note, this comes with a demo of Voodoo Vince and some videos.

Graphics- 9.5/10
The only thing you can complain about is that the CG between the action isn't perfect. It is very well done CG though. Everything else is perfect by X-Box standards. The level design of this game is some of the best I've ever seen. You will love exploring the incredible world they give you. Whether it is: canyons, islands, underground cities, or above ground metropolises, you will love it all. You travel to many different worlds to play in, so it's not repetitive either. The final couple stages are put together so well, it's mind blowing. You planes are very well designed and all look very interesting.

Story- 8.5/10
You are Nathan Zachary of The Fortune Hunters. You live in an alternate 1930s; a world in which The Great Depression tore apart the United States. The United States has turned into many different self-governing states. Many have taken to the skies to steal and control. The game starts off with you having a gambling problem. You have lost your zeppelin and your plane. You take your plane back and work to getting your zeppelin back. As time goes on, you are asked to keep Dr. Fassenbiender's plans for a weathering machine safe. The machine could be used for many great things...or it could be used to create F-5 Tornados. Of course, someone knows about the weathering machine and you are on a chase to figure out who it is. Your story leads to many turns and twists and is very well thought out.

Sound- 8.5/10
The music will always match the mood of what you are doing. If you are exploring canyons, you will have quiet, mysterious music playing. If you are engaging in air warfare, you will have fast paced music that gets your heart beating. The voice acting is done very well by most of the characters. Some of the characters just sound too unrealistic though. Weapon and plane sounds are done to perfection.

Gameplay- 9.5/10
This is an arcade aviation game. Does that mean it's only worth a quarter to play? No. It has arcade physics. This mean you won't have you do everything perfect and the game can create some tight squeezes for you too escape. You start in Sea Haven doing missions to try to find Big John. He is the only person that knows how to fly your Zeppelin. You are in a free environment. Much like Grand Theft Auto III, you can do whatever mission you want and in whatever order you like. You will have missions where you: attack planes, use turrets, race, navigate, steal planes, and much more. You ability to use turrets or planes in most missions keeps the game interesting. Also, the variety in missions keeps the game very fun. The bosses on this game are incredible and are some of the most well thought out even compared to God of War. Unlike GOW though, there are many bosses in this game for you destroying pleasure. The Multi-Player in this game is pretty fun, but not really a major focus of the game. There is a game called Wild Chicken that is extremely fun though. You try to catch a chicken and return it to your base for points. Yeah, it's crazy, but its very fun. I haven't played online as I don't have X-Box Live.

Difficulty- 10/10 (Note- This is how much I like the difficulty)
Even on Easy you have a have some challenge. That's the way it should be. If you think that's too easy, you can try any of the other three harder difficulties. Some of the final stages are very hard and you will really feel like you accomplished something. The game is really short, and can probably be beaten in around a day of good gaming. The game will still leave you satisfied after playing it though, and that makes the game perfect.

Overall- 9.5/10
This is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Don't just avoid it because it's an aviation game; buy it now! Really, the game is just that much fun. The single player is one of the best I've played in a long time, and the multiplayer is good fun once you're done. I recommend this to everyone.

5an overall great game for either xbox consoleMay 16, 2008
If only more games were like this.
Good graphics for the time. interesting story and concepts. and Great Controls. No this game isnt perfect. Like most games, there is major repetition. protect this, destroy that, pick up this. But that is everygame. This game has just enough variety. A dozen planes all upgradeable, but one. AA Guns. even trucks. Yeah there are a few things puzzling, why is the follow the leader so hard? why is the runway in front of a building you crash into. But honestly thats about it? my only two concerns, one is a level the other is negligble.
The style is very similar to SKY CAPTAIN, with Jude Law, Alternate history. and the Main character looks surprising like the Main character in UNCHARTED.
OVERALL pick up this game, you wont be dissapointed. UNLESS you expect everygame to be GTA. but there is enough variety and optional side missions to compare to that game


3Good game, overallMay 11, 2008
This game is a lot of fun, story is fairly interesting. It tends to get repetitive in places, boss fights especially, but that isn't constant by any means, and the dogfighting is well done. The online is fairly good, not great but it will fill a few days before you set it down. Planes are interesting, characters are relatively engaging, gameplay and graphics are very polished. Overall, fairly good.
