In a parallel world reminiscent of our own WW II era, pilots take to the skies with stylized aircraft carriers and devastating weaponry. Inspired by the popular eighties arcade series, 1942: Joint Strike combines classic top-down vertical shooting with updated 3-D HD graphics.
Take on massive waves of incoming enemies while dodging explosions and missiles, as you face off with huge enemy bosses in death-defying dogfights. Recruit a wingman locally or online to pull off new "Joint Strike" attacks, combining the powers of both aircraft in one explosive barrage. With new weapons and power-ups in your arsenal, prepare to rejoin the battle!
Here comes the classic top down shooter that we all played at some point while waiting for mom to finish shopping.
I know what your thinking,"how can thay make this classic better then it was?" well simple its still a top down shooter with 2D graphix but now the visuals are actually 3D and wide screen.
Its good to see a 24 year old game get its second chance in the sun and not get layed to rest with the rest of the 2D games, 1942: Joint Strike is set to arrive on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network this summer and features 3d graphics and online co-op play.
