"Red Wings biggest sin resides in its little varied offering, but it does right a lot of things: campaing can be played in coop, the action is intense and joyful, it has some interesting mechanics... It&s;s a shame that it …"

"Red Wings: Aces of the Sky is filled with over 50 missions, and although there&s;s plenty to do and the controls are easy to get used to, it does become repetitive after a while."
