Heatseeker Description

Heatseeker will strap you into the pilot's seat and deliver an exhilarating white-knuckle ride that'll have you clutching the joypad as you engage in face-melting 6G turns and fight against a seemingly-impossible amount of airborne enemies. Heatseeker, the supercharged flight combat game gives players unprecedented control over the military's finest aerial weapons thanks to an innovative use of the Wii controls. Heatseeker's use of the Wii controls means that players have complete command over their turbo charged arsenal. Using one of the two available control methods, fighter jets and missiles respond instantly to help you make that 10-inch manoeuvre to prevent an enemy warhead shredding apart your F-15 Eagle. In Heatseeker, players are offered a choice between using the Wii Remote pointer as the plane's guiding system and using the Nunchuk just as a real fighter pilot would use his in-cockpit flight stick. Delivering enhanced graphics and advanced animations, players will want to slam on the airbrakes and reverse thrusters to enjoy the view. Throughout the game's campaigns, you'll be proving your right to fly with the best. Are you good enough to advance ahead of your fellow pilots and stay top? Can you throw your aircraft to the floor, twist and turn, and punch out counter measures as you pull as many Gs as necessary to out-manoeuvre the missile? Basically, are you good enough to stay alive?

I ended up having 3 flying games at the same time recently. I only have one still at home, and thats Heatseeker. I found the control pretty easy to use, and the game was more than enough of a challenge for me, without being impossible. I tend now to skip through the cut scenes and get down to the action. I found the early missions quite easy, but realised I wasn't scoring that well on them, and so will go back and try and do better later. The levels I am on now are getting harder to complete, and remembering which weapon to attack which target is taxing my brain a little. Graphics are good and the controls are very responsive. I'm enjoying this one a lot.

Good game but gets boring pretty fast. Impact cam is good graphics are good and gameplay is good but feels like the missions are the same over and over, all you do is chase planes and shot. Controls are the best thing about this game.

Features

With missions across the US, down to the Caribbean, across Antarctica and into the Far East, it'll be high-velocity combat all the way that'll see you constantly switching from predator to prey as an enemy missiles lock on.
