Very good game for peanuts fans [Posted on 2008-01-07] A very good game for fans of the peanuts gang. Gameplay is suited for children, as well as adults. Controls to the game were simple and the missions were entertaining. Somewhat of a surprise. Was not expecting this type of gameplay, but very happy with the product.
The game is hard to follow. [Posted on 2008-01-12] The PS2 version has things happening too fast and all at once. The scope is more limited than on the PC version. I think I'll get use to it. (This game is easier to play if you have more than two thumbs - lol).
Kids Ace Combat- Awesome [Posted on 2008-03-03] A MUST BUY THATS ALL I CAN SAY. For your child that cant play the t rated ace combat this is the game
My child is happy. [Posted on 2008-07-31] My son, Hunter just turned 9. For his birthday he was on a Snoopy binge. Amazon offered the PS 2 game and I ordered it. My son plays it everyday. Thank you Amazon.com for helping me deliver something so enjoyable to my child.
great concept, feeble execution [Posted on 2008-09-19] I had high hopes for Snoopy in this one. I enjoyed the comic strips and the animated movies as a kid, and I've been on the lookout for WWI sims in general.
The graphics in this game are great, and the score is nice. The animated sequences featuring the Peanuts gang are a treat. The plot line, where you must rescue Charlie Brown, is marginally engaging.
The main drawbacks to the game are the repetitiveness of the play (defeat a few bad guys, fight giant boss, rinse, repeat), the fact that most of the game is spent fighting ground targets (with only occasional fights against unskilled pilots), and the total absence of a free-flight or racing mode. The latter, in the post-Mario Kart era, can only be interpreted as a horrendous error. Given the beauty and simplicity of the arcade style sim controls, a free flight mode or race mode would be wonderful. The special weapons are hilarious, making the lack of a race mode that much more galling.
Another minor annoyance is that there are only a handful of environments for flying in, and only a few of these are open for the player-vs-player dogfight mode.
Young kids (6 and up) not already bored with the level-boss-new-level style of play will enjoy the game. There is plenty of mayhem and violence, though enemy pilots always bail out at the last second and float down on parachutes.
