Graphics are ok for the DS. But its too repetitive.
Takeoff ... shoot planes ( cycle thro turrets ) then avoid flak on a look down view ,, shoot planes , bomb target , shoot planes ... job done.
Great Fun

Its well thought out and fun to play.
Bearing in mind the limitations of the DS its accurate too!
