Ambushed from enemy fighters hidden by clouds? Mission designers have never heard of radar? I know its not trying to be too realistic, but that's just stupid.

I'm guessing the PC version will have that shitty DRM.
First one was kinda fun with a joystick.

Man, I love High Advanced Warfighter X, he's a lot better than Fireman X but not as good as the original Dark Man X.

Every time I see a flight sim, arcadey or not, I miss playing space sims. Maybe I should play X2 again.

Man I love me some Aerial Drift Racin' Sims.  You guys are entertaining as always, and love the freakout session over refueling.
 
Truth is, it looks like a quality arcade flight game.  I can't stand flying a plane from a cockpit with a gamepad, but third person is great and it looks like it has that mode as an option.  The weird external padlock view looks to work well, I'd have to try it to form an opinion.
 
Overall looks a lot better then that IMO HORRIBLE drift racing third person view in the first game.  I hope they do a demo on the 360 version at least.  Looks like it could be a fun game (and pretty!) when it drops in price.  Could be a lot of fun in multiplayer, if it has co op especially... *goes off to research
