Mechanically, feels just like X-Wing or Tie Fighter — which is to say, great. Everything from those last two games comes across here, except that the campaign missions added on are offensively challenging.
I'm not sure if it's because they're balanced for the idea that you'll have 7 other human players alongside you or what, but I'm unable to complete the first mission of either campaign, despite having finished the previous two games. I read the manual, took down notes on controls, gave my wingmen commands — no dice after about a dozen tries.
Dropped the difficulty down to easy, but the gap is unfortunately vast. The missions go from borderline impossible to requiring no strategy whatsoever. Really disappointing!
