Heatseeker (Wii)

>>>>Heads up Ever since the release of Top Gun in the 1980's two things have become obvious. Firstly, that Tom Cruise isn't a very good actor, but seems to be able to hide this from movie producers (controversial!) and secondly and more importantly that flying fighter planes is cool. It was with the latter in mind that I was quite pleased to see that Codemasters were releasing a version of Heatseeker on the Wii. Set in a fictional version of the real world you take the place of "Downtown" a brand shiny new fighter pilot heading to his first assignment in the Caribbean for the International ... more

I love my Nintedo Wii and enjoy the interaction between players on the console so when my husband brought home HeatSeeker for the Wii I wasn't too excited about it. Heatseeker is an aerial warfare game where you basically fly planes and shoot at things and other planes with intense missile combat over the Caribbena, the Southern Ocean, Antarctica and the Far East, so firstly being a girl and secondly, enjoying the gaming on say Wii bowling much more it didn't seem too appealing but I play it every now and again with my husabnd. The premise of the story/game is this: you play as Mike "Downtown" ... more

Now if you like flying games you've got three real choices for your Nintendo Wii : Wing Island, Blazing Angels and Heatseeker. If you like cute chickens flying around taking pictures popping balloons then Wing Island is your thing. If you love the nostalgia of flying old WWII planes then blazing angels is for you. And if yuor someone who enjoys the fast, furious and thrilling dogfights then Heatseeker is definitely for you. You play the role of Mike "Downtown" Hudson alhough you only know this from reading the manual. A newbie pilot straight out of school. He gets postioned on Lord Roberts ... more

I really love heatseeker i can't stop playing on it. Heatseeker has to be the best plane fighting game out yet on wii. The game play is mint also the graphics are amazing to for example impact cam which is where you fire a rocket at a plane and it dose a close up, showing the rocket blowing up a jet fighter. I have to say that the controls are had at the first but when you get used to the controllers it gets easy however the mission are amazing, but some of the mission are soilded and it took me a bit of time to get passed that mission. Overall Heatseeker is a amazing games with great graphics ... more

This game is awesome! The load times are short, teh flying is really realistic and the graphics are great. I was astonisched of the long levels and the great varity of planes. The interface is user friendly and simple. I only missed anything in multiplayer, i want to take on my friends and see who is the best. It sure is a must, but only singleplayer makes the game very short. If you think you are a hotshot, an ace, or whatever, you sure need to try this, oh so realistic game. But there is another thing which is not so good, but that is not the fault of the game. When you play this game, you ... more
