The missions are often divided into several objectives, all of which have to be worked through. You can also fulfill secondary objectives during the missions, which offer the opportunity for extra points.

The story-trappings are often neglected for an action game, but fans of hardcore simulations will miss the demands of the predecessors. Christian Schneider

Nevertheless, I was able to spend some nice hours above the clouds with “Wings of Prey”. The whole thing is fun and the action is just right. Michael Hoss
