Destroying an enemy aircraft is satisfying. I rented the game through Gamefly and liked it so much I kept it. The story is good enough with cutscenes but it's the pre and post missions briefings that give it more feeling as a pilot. On Easy it's more about just having fun flying and ruling the sky. On Normal it's a decent balance and challenge. My next playthrough will be on the Hard difficulty and I expect frustration in my future, the AI can be ruthless. PVP is just so-so for me so I only play the campaign now
