I know I'd probably be happy with a turd in a 360 box at that price, but I was just wondering if anyone had played this and had any comments? I've not honestly heard much about it.

It was an ok game. Critics tend to be harsh on the game, mostly due to game braeaking frame rate, but It´s manageable most of the times. Anyways, not enought of these games nowadays so I guess I could also be  deemed as too benevolent towards it. If you liked Blazing Angels I and II, or Ace Combat 6 you should have a blast.
Have fun.

I remember controls being unresopnsive in the demo but it seemed alright overall. By the way that price is actually cheaper than pirating it. Where did you get it?
