Heatseeker Comments by Quintin Smith

so, i guess the Wii version will score higher?

who knows, if the actual game is average i cant see the wiimote adding much to it, we'll see :)

It's a shame really, burnout in the air sounded fantastic

I expect the Wii version to score higher. I already have it and it's good fun. Especially since the Wii version does not have some of the problems this review complains about.

First of all the Impact Cam. It's there. But you can turn it off - so if you don't like it you don't have to use it. I wonder why this option is missing from the PS2 version?

Landing on the carrier might seem tricky at first because it can be hard to tell where the thing has its rear. But, it does not matter. You can land from both sides - and there are rings, just like in PilotWings, to guide you so you know how low and slow to get. So in reality it's not hard at all.

The conclusion also states that you can bounce off the ground with only little damage. That is also something I did not manage. As soon as I hit the ground I exploded like I expected.

All the negative things are no problem in the Wii version so I wonder if the Wii version is indeed superior to the PS2 version. Until now the games on PS2 and Wii were nearly the same; I still wonder about the Impact Cam though and the missing option to turn it off.

The only thing Heatseeker succeeds at is being a close approximation of a superior game. If you don't mind supporting that and you like your gaming ultra-casual, you're clear for take-off

Call me daft, but I don't know what that is supposed to mean.

Well, I'd rate it as much higher than 5/10; maybe a 7 1/2 or so. but I'd imagine controls do make a difference because the Wii version is pretty intuitive (albeit the default controls are shit - setting the movement to the nunchuk tilt makes it far better).

Rather strangely we had a conversation about Top Gun, and then I come on here and find Top Gun references... scarey!
Well not as scarey as the conversation we had about Top Gun...
:)

I read only the first paragraph and ordered Ace Combat: The Belkan War (to add to my pile of unopened PS2 games).

IR Gurus - Gurus? Hmm.

Was it about how amazingly homoerotic it was?

Top Gun does feature THE most gratuitously homoerotic scene ever in film history.

Shame, 'cuasse thought this sounded like fun (on the Wii), but if the game itself if a 5/10 I can't really see the Wii controls adding much more to it.

Ah well... when's Super Paper Mario out?

(I jest)

AC 5 > AC 04 > AC Zero > Heatseeker > Aero Elite > Lethal Skies 2

Loved the opening paragraph.

got it, played it, definately 7.5. Now I loved AC4 and 5 (not so much zero) but heat seeker is a different game, much more kills and better explosions. saw the wii and the controls made it much cooler

Finally a killer app for the ps2/wii

Pulsar, no,
AC4>AC5

hmm not sure if who ever reviewed this spent much time with it... the review complains that you cant turn the impact cam off... ummm yes you can, just has to be from the main menu not the in game options (god knows why, but the option IS there...).
It also mentions being able to bounce off the ground, well to be fair I've only crashed into the sea so far but that killed me instantly as expected...

and yes I'm playing the PS2 version...

take those 'problems' away and its a fun game... worth more than a 5 anyway...
