    A wonderful setting, really cool planes, and more fun than you can shake a stick at.

    The Crimson Skies universe is just plain cool. A huge dash of swashbucking and derring do but instead of boarding pirate ships you are shooting down crazy planes and blimps. Set in an alternate universe 1937, the story ... Read Full Review

    Is it a bird? Is it a Plane? Well...yeah it is

    This game has a lot to offer people who like to play with old Planes. For myself though I found it a little more frustrating to fly around in an old fighter plane. The game is centered around Zachary and his band of P... Read Full Review

    Not your average flight sim...

    When people think about computer plane games they think, flight sim, when people think flight sim they think, extreme learning curve, difficult levels, lots of invested time. When trying to find an easier game to approac... Read Full Review

    An awesome dogfight that never lets up.

    If you want a realistic flight sim, you'll be dissapointed. If you want a combat flight sim, you'll be dissapointed. This is a CIRCUS DOGFIGHT, pure and simple. The action just keeps on going. There is nothing like shoot... Read Full Review

    Old game but a good game...

    This is one of my favourite games. I only play on-line, it's to easy now on single play when you have been trained by many clans. While playing this game you will make friends quickly, the people on Crimson SKies (Cs) ar... Read Full Review

    Download the patches and it becomes the game it should have been.

    When it came out, Crimson Skies was battered by the critics, and rightly so. Shoddy graphics on anything that wasn't top of the range. Lacking realism and frighteningly unstable. When I bought this game, it crashed loadi... Read Full Review

    "Just one more level!"

    For me this game has been a major cause of "Bleary-eyed at school/work next day but God was it fun!!!" Syndrome. Many people say its too hard, it is certainly hard, but unlike other games you never get the sense the game... Read Full Review

    Not the perfect game; but, very entertaining.

    Too many games attempt to be the PERFECT game. Very few succeed because only the packaging (graphics) really seem to change. My favorite games are still the ones in the vein of Privateer. Crimson skies is no match ... Read Full Review
