Airwolf is a flight simulator that's based on the TV series of the same name.
+ Action is fast and frantic with a decent landing mini-game, and you'll see some familiar characters from the TV show.+ Overhead map before each mission allows you to plan an optimal route to victory, while plotting your refuelling / repair point.
+ Start / Select buttons are used effectively for increasing or decreasing your speed, giving you full control at any moment.
+ Excellent (albeit repetitive) rendition of the series' theme tune, and there's some large character art on display.
- The 20 missions basically repeat the same ideas, with nothing new added to the mix to spice things up.
- Touching the boundary edge before completing a mission decreases your speed to zero, making you a lame duck.
- Almost impossible to outrun enemy missiles due to a slow turn speed, and the graphics are rather primitive.
