NXT Gamer: Snoopy Flying Ace Review

NXT Gamer's KieranD talks about Snoopy's latest adventure in Snoopy Flying Ace!

"As soon as the first online dogfight loads up and the chaotic scene of an online community just days old hits you, the 800 Microsoft Point investment will have been fully justified. For an Xbox Live Arcade title priced at the lower end of the spectrum, the graphics and sound will immediately grab the player’s interest and never let go. Smart Bomb Interactive have had something of an uninteresting past, consisting entirely of spin-off’s and licenses, so it’s a surprise to see the polish applied to their latest effort. Past the graphics lie an already-bustling online community and a variety of objective-based modes, leaving only one more piece for SBI to get right for this to be a game worth noticing; the actual gameplay."

The whole 'Red Baron' thing was the weird bit of this game for me. I know there's a whole thing of it in Peanuts, but was a bit odd to have these cute cartoon characters telling me to kill ze Germans.

And South Park is a good game too.

DelbertGrady5115d ago

I've read two other reviews of it that gave it 8.9/10 and 4/5. Never reached the first page though.

Because they get all their writers to approve the articles in a short space of time which results in the system thinking the article is something amazing.

I think it will be the next UNO for XBLA.

The origin of paid online.

Lol it definitely deserves its mention

Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.

PrimeVinister1034d ago (Edited 1034d ago )

That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony

"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."

The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.

I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.
