Diehard GameFAN: Birds of Steel Review

DHGF: Birds of Steel is very much a sequel to Birds of Prey. It may have a new publisher and new theaters of battle, but the game is exactly the same as its ancestor in many ways. You have the historical campaigns that you can play through, this time focusing on the war in the Pacific during World War 2. You then can access the Dynamic Campaign mode, which allows you to fight a series of air battles against different targets in a “what if” situation. Like what if Pearl Harbor wasn’t just attacked but actually invaded. In truth this mode merely gives you different backgrounds to fight the enemy over, there is no storyline nor any cinematic. It’s just some variety. Locations included in these Dynamic Campaigns include Malta, Wake Island, the Ruhr and Midway Island. Also included are Single mission stages from all over the different theaters, and a mission editor which allows you to choose the weather and forces opposing you.

See, I don't have a 360, which cuts out some nice exclusives. I think I would have enjoyed The Witcher 2 quite a bit,..

KOA was a big disappointment for me, too, but RE:ORC was my most disappointing lol.

Captain Qwark 94312d ago

is REORC really that bad? ive been wanting to play that one too still. tried picking it up last week but best buy ran out.

kariyanine4312d ago

I don't know what the hell you people were expecting with KoA. Its great fun and an excellent change of pace to Skyrim.

Sobaer4312d ago

Captain, it wasn't bad... it was just disappointing.

Kariyanine, I know and realize that NOW. But I don't have the option to play it again at the moment. I heard the words "loot" "Action-RPG" So I was thinking of a Diablo style game. Which it is not...
