Overview: “Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge” combines the thrills of low-to-the-ground air combat with the swashbuckling style of an action-adventure movie. Players pilot powerful fantasy aircraft in a game reminiscent of a classic Hollywood tale, as they battle enemy aces and navigate tricky stunts in single- and multiplayer modes. As the handsome and daring air pirate Nathan Zachary, players barnstorm through 1930s America hunting down the murderers of Zachary’s best friend.
Features:
• Living the legend of Crimson Skies. Players become the legendary Nathan Zachary and take off on a high-flying adventure filled with daring escapes and damsels in distress.
• Environments that serve as weapons. Players use surrounding in-world structures to great advantage. They trigger landslides, collapse water towers and bridges, or fly through “danger zones” to destroy or avoid fast-approaching enemies.
• Fully loaded aerial hot rods. Players pilot 10 war planes armed to the teeth with napalm missiles, magnetic grapples and sandstorm cannons. They swoop and dive to elude bogeys just itching to take down the good guys.
• Multiplayer madness. Players dogfight enemy aircraft in four-person, split-screen multiplayer mode. They fly solo or with a squadron against human and AI opponents.
• Secrets in the skies. Players swoop high and low in a search for stunt zones, which uncover bonus weapons and more.
• Flight school not required. Players command the air with ease in the true spirit of combat flying. Gameplay focuses on the art of dog fighting, not the science of flying.
