In the vein of Indiana Jones or The Rocketeer, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge has a raucously pulpy tone, is surprisingly well-written and voiced, and is an absolute blast to play. It's always a little startling to run into a 6th generation game that has held up so well, comparatively speaking. It even looks pretty damn great.

This game is the classic kind of cool. Me and my dad used to play the hell out of it. In one mission you unlock this stupid little one man helicopter thing that is absolutely ridiculous!

One of my favorite alternative history games ever made.

Pretty boring. The other 3D flight combat games I've played are more interesting to me (not that there are many to begin with)

the original Xbox catalog is very underrated and this is no exception to it

very fun flight combat game with pretty wacky planes like you can get one that shoot lightning and the one you start out with has a damn jet thruster on its back

boss fights are a miss unfortunately minus the final one which is very very fun overall if you can deal with Xbox emulation running this game at like 15 fps then i say go for it

Great game. Probably the best of the genre. great control, story serves the game and run well on the xbox series x.
Original Xbox games still great looking games in 2023.
Microsoft shoud work on this IP again
