Game Review (written by Eric) Added on: 03/20/2008
The Ancient Art of War in the Skies is a little known aircraft simulation game that is based on the World War I. The game was released in 1993 by MicroProse. The game is the last installment to the game series—The Ancient Art of War. The game is both a side-scrolling game and a overhead combat game. You can use a 3-D map to bomb enemy territories for the overhead combat style or you can get into dogfights in a side-scrolling format.

The AI might not be the best out there, making some of the opponents easy to beat but the game is packed with action so it still remains a very engaging game. You can choose to play the game between the following

modes: Map, Dog fight, and Bombing. The game has so many varied scenarios that it is impossible to get bored with it. You will be facing numerous enemies which include the following: General Foch, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Sun Tzu, Albert Ball, Oswald Boelcke, George Guynemer, Baron Manfred von Richtofen, Rene Fonck, and Mick Mannock.
You need to plan your missions so that you can do well in the game. When you plan your missions you get a better grip of the scenario and are able to choose the right path to help you win the war. The game contains enough levels and offers some pretty varied game play but if you are still unsatisfied with the built-in levels, the game also features a game editor which will help you create your own levels.
The graphics and the music of the game are mediocre so the game really just rides on its game play. There are other more fun aircraft simulation games out there but I wouldn’t really consider this the worst since there are other flight simulation games that are not fun at all. This is actually pretty fun and engaging.
When the game was first released, it disappointed fans of the game series. It featured numerous bugs and did not meet the expectations of gamers. The game may not be perfect but it still offers many hours of gaming fun. The game has some arcade elements in it and is a pretty interesting aircraft simulation game.
I think you can download it now and give it a try. You never know if you might find a game enjoyable even if all the reviews don’t give it too many high scores.
