Do you remember Crimson Skies? Who doesn’t, Right? Well everything you knew about that game has been put on the XBLA in the form of Peanuts…

Snoopy: Flying Ace by SmartBomb Interactive hit the marketplace yesterday, and I had NO idea what it was. It literally crept up out of nowhere. It’s a good thing, too… It made me curious, so I took to the computer to look up some info. The FIRST thing I came across was an article comparing it to Crimson Skies. I was like “Nah, no way…that can’t be.” But indeed… check this out —->

This game is incredible! You get an arcade air combat game that incorporates a bit of a platformer (for a lil Story telling) and a multiplayer that exceeds the experience from Crimson Skies, all wrapped up in a tight little bundle of joy.
The story mode takes you through numerous types of off the wall missions. From dogfighting waves of the Red Baron’s forces to taking down Zepplins of Doom, and with two modes of difficulty, this game has proved to have great replay value for me already.
The MultiPlayer is what makes thing game more interesting… It offers a wide range of customization for your plane and weapon choices. Choose from one of their many custom pilots, or you can take your Avatar to the skies! ( I might have to put my Recon helmet on to see what that looks like in my plane…) The game supports up to 16 players in one match, and has a lot of gametypes to choose from.

The best thing about this game…is that you get all this wonderful sweet glaze of goodness for 800 MS points… That’s $10 people !!!

So what are you waiting for? GO GET IT and meet me in the skies!
