Description official description
In Aerial Assault, you play the Freedom Fighter who must destroy five targets, including the Vinsk, CB-53 Bomber, "El", and two cliff fortresses. During each of the five missions, you will encounter enemy jets, choppers, submarines, jeeps, parachute bombs, and several other enemies which you must destroy. Shooting either the spinning fighters or the small flying helicopters will earn you a power-up that allows you to upgrade or downgrade your firepower. There are three difficult settings: "Easy", "Normal", and "Hard". You will not be able to complete the game if you select the "Easy" setting.

The Good
Difficulty, it's tough but not cheap.
The Bad
It's extremely slow starting. At the beginning of the game, you get the feeling everything is moving in slow motion. The sense of speed and thrill takes a while to build that dosen't show up until later levels.
The Bottom Line
Aerial Assault is good shooter that tries hard to mix elements of shooting and bombing. Like most games in this category, multiple power ups are available to give you better speed, bombs and primary weapons. It's like playing Thunderforce III lite. The enemies and bosses don't present much of a challenge until the final boss. It's not until then that the challenge actually presents itself and it seems like it takes forever to get there. The game is not difficult to complete on the EASY setting, but ramping it up to the harder settings makes the end boss a bit more difficult to put down. Overall, this is a good game but in beginning it takes a lot of patience to sit through.
