Secret Weapons over Normandy?
« on: November 07, 2004, 09:58:48 AM »
I thought about picking it up.  Looks kinda like it might be a fun game.  I know it's not a "simulation," but sometimes arcadish games can be fun too.

Anyone have any opinions about this game, and/or suggestions of whether it'd be a good pick up or not?  

Thanks!

If youve got a console system, (Xbox or PS2) pick it up, If not dont waste you Hard Drive Space.

I bought it for PC, and played for a little bit, the story is fun, But Gets old real quick.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Its alright, all the enemy planes have big red circle around them, and you can shoot em down from long distances.

I haven't played SWoN in... I can't even remember the last time I played it.

I've started playing Shellshock: Nam 67 though. Great game.
