From what I've heard, it's amazing, and I asume it would be worth it based on what I've heard. I haven't played yet, but I've heard nothing but good things.

Awesome game... Luv it. Sngle player is big fun and multiplayer LAN and LIVE is sooooooo sweet !!! Also has up to 4 player split screen play, what more can you ask for. Just get it and fire up the "Wild Chicken"... What a riot game mode !!!

We have an Xbox set up in the break room at Target, and we usually snag a copy of all the new games. The manager let us take a copy of crimson skies, and I must say it is definatly worth your $30. I can hardy pry myself away after a short 30 minute break, and I force myself not to play it on a 15 mintue break, i;d never get back on time. Whethar your a fan of flight games or not, this is pure action. Its a blast to play, you will become addicted. With Xbox Live throw into the mix, I cant even fathon the replayability of this game, definatly a must buy

What are you waiting for?!? Get it!!! I think it's a great deal for $30. You'll get your money's worth and a lot more for that price.

love that picture Shawns20

Listen,I don't wanna bust anybodys balls here but I've found a really anoying glitch in split screen or live.If you get into the spare plane,the sound effects drops completly for to lives.It completly ruins the realism of the game.:cry:

Anybody know if there is gonna be a patch to fix this bug?:huh:

i would say that crimson skies is a lot like teletubbies, or the gamecube. It looks like it should be really ***... but then you sit down a minute and try it... and you just get addicted....

LMAO! TELETUBBIES! Takes a real man to admit that! I watched with my niece once (okay, maybe twice.) I hear what you're saying. I think there is something subliminal going on there! :eek:

the game is definitely worth it for $30. Hell, most people thought it was worth it for $50. The single player mode is fun, but i have to admit that i havent been playing much of that because this game is even better on xbox live.

BananaMan your sig makes me horny.;)

That little glitch about the sound is not that bad.It goes out every now and then and soon as your killed it comes back and doesn't do it for a while.Doesn't bother me at all especialy since my roomate is playing with me and if my sound dies I still hear his.Besides if your in a room with me and your sound dies it won't take but about 20 seconds for me to kill you then you will get your sound back.;)

Crimson Skies and the Teletubies have nothing similar in comon lol.That has to be the geyest cartoon ever.I was actualy fryed out my mind one morning and watched it.The poor kids that watch that are gona be brain washed and turned into little pansey sissys when they get older lol.:rofl:

Crimson Skies OWNES!

Yes its worth 30$. However, I don't like it as much as all of these poeple. The single player seems pretty good, but I absolutely hated the Live play. The lag is pretty freakin horrible, but you don't notice how bad it is until you pick up some health or shoot at an enemy. You will notice that after you fly through some health, it wont register for a second. Same with shooting enemies, sometimes you are just flying along and you start getting damage, from someone that shot you one or two secodns ago. It sucks, hard.

The offline play is pretty good though. Great graphics for the most part too.

Is it worth $30? NO It's worth $50! The game is truly awesome, even if you don't have XBL.

I paid my $50 happily. And after playing through the one-player a couple times (not ALL the way through, yet :cry: ) I have to say this game is a winner. A little bit over-hyped IMHO, but again I've yet to play on Live. Multiplayer is fun, but I can only wonder at the big 8 vs. 8 games.

So, yeah, 30 bones is a steal at the moment.

Lol, very true. That's where the real fun is online. Yesterday I played an 8 on 8 Wild Chicken games for hours. It was fun. Definately found out what plane works best with me and Chicago. Today is my Birthday, hopefully I will get it.

$30? Definately guy...I was renting this game and I liked it so much I bought it from the place i was renting from for $39. Ive only played a little of the single play but Live play is frigin awesome. Lag only happens on huge games with weak networks. Just stay away from that and youre good to go.

Anyone else a star in here? At last check I was ranked about 1100 out of 35,000.

It happened to me on EVERY single server I connected to. I only detected it after picking up health though. After that I started to notice poeple blowing up a second or two after I stopped shooting them, and me blowing up a second or two after dog fights. Or even just blowing up for no apparent reason.

Oh, and the star means you're an ace.

i tohught this game was 50$ but if its 30 i would pick it up. right now im trying to save up money for the games i want the most. PGR2 and CS that is. playing RS3, PGR2, and Counterstrike should hold me over till halo 2 comes out

Like everyone else said, I think that $30 is definitely worth it... I'm curious to know where you could find it at this price.

Get it already man! Esp if you have live (from what I've heard).

I'm ranked 63 out of the 36,000+ xbl online players in CC.;)

MerimacHamwich:
The lag is not that bad.Everybody else receives the same lag so its even anyways.About the planes blowing up around the corner um maybe if your plane got shot to hell it finaly decided to fall apart.In real life it happens.About your plane blowing up out of nowere means you fell victum to a shell gun turent.You have never maned the big ass gun turent (not the machinegun turent)the shell turent?I have shot the living crap out of peeps in one shot from a mile in that thing it rules.:p

Yeah dude, I am sure. Every single server I joined was laggy.

Evil, I know about the gun turrets and everything, and you can usually tell when you have been shot by one.

I still stand by what I said. Four days of playing Crimson Skies never weilded different results. Anyhow, I don't have the game anymore, so I can't test the online even if I wanted to, for some odd reason.

My connection is halfway decent by the way. I can host 8 poeple with bots in Unreal Championship with little lag.
