Read original review"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."
Read original review"There is no doubt that this is a visually impressive game with a healthy amount of replay value. It’s also easy to pick up and play either alone or with a friend. But the core gameplay gets stale way too …"
