What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"If you crave action and excitement, then you should have stopped reading this review after the first paragraph. However, if you're looking for a game to study and fret over, then Thunderstrike: Operation Phoenix might just be your speed."
"Players looking for a detailed flight simulation will enjoy Thunderstrike's tactical gameplay, but fans of visceral action will find its strike-and-hide gameplay requirements a bit too rigid."
"Everything - from the game's control-scheme to the relative complexity of some of its missions - eschews the simple fly-and-blast focus...in favor of something deeper... the game is superbly playable and visually sharp."
"Each mission features an awful lot of activity... All the mission environments we saw are remarkably expansive and detailed, suggesting that the completed game will make good use of the PlayStation 2's powerful graphics hardware... the game seems to be shaping up well, mixing impressive graphics, detailed missions and compellingly destructive gameplay."
"So far, the levels mocked up for Thunderstrike's worldwide campaigns are quite large, around 30 square kilometers, and the draw distance is excellent, even if the features of the land are a little dull. All that will certainly change, though, depending on how Core chooses to script the missions."
