snoopy versus the red baron

hey i know it sounds like a little kiddy game, but dont underestimate the power of snoopy and his sopwith camel. overall i thought this was a good little game. if your bored, and want to have fun for like half an hour before you have to do something important, this game is perfect for filling in the cracks of your day.

to speak about ina more detailed way though lets look at it more closely.

the thing i have to say i LOVED about this game was the force feedback. when your so used to no force feedback with game like battlefield, it is sooo refreshing to play a game like this. some weapons effect force-feedback such as the lighting bolt canon, and some dont of course, when your plane is damaged you get little jolts as though your going down at any moment, honestly, i didnt think much of this game either but when you play it with force-feedback you really start to like it more.

what i was kind of disspointed was the first thing you do in the game is lose snoopy's doghouse and trade it in for a real sopwith camel, i can see why they did it, but i still would have liked to play at least one level with his old red house. =*(

ah well. another thing i liked was the music. usually i turn off music in games because its pretty distracting and repetative, but the music in this game made it feel like a movie, like you were in one of those old world war I movies. i dont know. i liked the handeling of the plane although sometimes your plane dodges out of the camera and you cant see what your doing, this doesnt ditract much because it doesnt happen often and when it does, for a short time, but i thought id just mention it. i liked the little rambling snoopy shouts when you finish a mission and i even liked the little peanuts characters telling you what to do, at least they got voice acotrs for ... most of the characters, and the cinematics werent too annoying. they follow the peanuts way of thinking pretty good, and there isnt TOO much of woodstock to speak of, although you still get his cute little chirps from time to time, and he is a buyable character.

the weapons were cool although not too true to the old peanut stlye, and the envirornments were well done. id have to say this was a well done little game for what its worth, but id advise you buy it for the pc, since it has no harmful copyprotection and the forcefeedback triples the value of this game.

to buy it on the console is very wasteful.

also for people playing on the pc, dont use the keyboard if you have a joystick with forcefeedback, the forcefeedback actually affects the game if yor not holding on to your stick.

overall i give this game an 8/10
