INTRO:
> Aero Dancing FSD ~Tsubasa's Virgin Flight~ (also subtitled as "Tsubasa's
First Flight") is basically a bonus disc to the ever awesome Aero
Dancing F. As such, this game is not expected to make the journey
across the Pacific. New missions, aircraft, and options round out
the sales pitch for this semi-sequel.
> Importing is probably the only way to go (already noted). As with
prior Aero Dancing titles, as long as you know what controlling a multi
million dollar jet is about, then you should fare well. There's a
mixture of Japanese and English in the menus, but most of the selections
are easily made.
GRAPHICS:
> Other than some new paint jobs on certain aircraft, I really can't decipher
any graphic enhancements off the bat. If there are any, then it's
safe to say they're minor. That's a good thing though, as this series
has excellent flight visuals. (see: Aero Dancing
F for more info)
CONTROL:
> Once again, there is no difference or enhancement here, which is good.
Aero Dancing FSD continues the tradition of simulation gameplay with just
enough arcade to keep most people interested. The only thing I hope
CRI fixes for Aero Dancing I
is the ground braking, which should be quicker. (see: Aero
Dancing F for more info)
SOUND:
> Nothing new here either. Top-Gun-esque rock tunes will light your
after burner. The roar of jet engines and pounding explosions never
seem to get old.
FUN:
> Aero Dancing FSD features 10 new Sky Missions (combining target shooting,
hoop flying, and dogfighting). Other modes include Internet, Free
Flight, Carrier Landing, Replay, and Special Data/Preview. For instance,
if you download the Aero Dancing F Special Data file, then you'll be able
to use all the newly painted Aero Dancing FSD aircraft in that game!
The new missions will keep you busy for a while, but Free Flight is still
the way to go...
