BOMB: Who let the dogfight?

Forgot to review it, as it was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible, so here it is, it's terribly buggy.

I'm really liking this game, I just wish you could be a pig in a red hidroplane instead of a frog in a blue one. [list] [*] Nice models (hidroplanes, zeppelines and planes) [*] Nice visual style [*] Fun, but not too impressive story (cartoony) [*] Not a simulator, but the planes "feel" heavy (it simulates physics, just not terribly realistic). [*] Plays Ok with a game pad (I guess it'll play better with a stick) [/list]

Will this be the moment where I find a new favorite pastime, quit my day job, and dedicate my life to becoming a world-class pilot? Well, if that is my purpose in life, BOMB did not awaken my inner aviator. Join me while I play the first part of this game so you can understand why my excitement never lifted off and soared through the skies. https://youtu.be/AC5tuZwsGzw

BOMB is a fun little game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Don't expect a flight sim, just a simple, but satisfying arcade game. The Campaign is cool, and it can be pretty funny at times.

I am sorry that I cannot recommend this game. ALthough some people seem to be able to play OK, I was plagued with controller issues. I tried with both a joystick (Sidewinder FF2) and a gamepad (xbox 360). After several tries I was finally able to bind the pitch, roll, yaw, and thrust axes to the joystick, but I was still not able to control the plane. For instance, sometimes it would start out OK, but then it would start to dive and pulling the stick all the way back would only level the plane but it wold not climb. Afer a half hour of this frustration I gave up and requested a refund. I liked the concept of the game and had looked forward to getting it for a couple of years, so I was disapponted that I nver got it to work.

Bomb is a very cool dogfighting game with a unique challenge. I love the fact that they dont baby you through shooting at enemies, like giving you a little pointer telling you exactly where to shoot. I would also like to point out that some of the bad reviews have less than an hour of game time, which is when you have the first crappy plane in the story. You need to invest about 2 hours to get the next plane, less if you are especially skilled. The next plane is far better and way more fun to fly with, and is needed to keep up with the advancing diffuculty in the story, which has some fairly charming characters. The one thing that makes me laugh so hard but also bugs me slightly is when the AI tries to avoid you and miscalculates a maneuver and crashes into the ground. this happens more often than I would like to admit, but this only happens when there are large amounts of enemies. the AI could use a slight upgrade, but the game already is diffucult, so maybe not.

The flight controls are terrible, not fun to play in any shape or form. The game takes too much time to load and all the maps and missions are empty spaces with only your objective in it. It's so boring, don't waste your money.
