Holy poop! This is one of the most enjoyable games I've played in ages. Tried it out on Live earlier too. Got thrashed. I cried. The only thing I'm not too keen on is that the controls take a while to master fully, but the promise of being able to participate in 16-player dogfights is too good to miss so I'm sticking with it. Crimson Skies rocketh muchly.

On Live it's absolutely brilliant. It takes real skill in the free-for-all Dogfights because it's easy to lose track of a target and have the kill swiped away from you by someone else. I prefer the Team Dogfights myself. The other modes are quite good too, playing sorta like Midtown Madness 3. In planes.
Overall, it's brilliant online and offline.

I actually won a special gold release of the original on the PC, it was an ok game but its the live play that interests me, let me know how it goes, Darky!
I should be getting it tomorrow, i have it on PC, used to play aginst my dad.
But it will be excellent on Xbox, i can't wait to get it.
