Lock
On Gold is an updated version of the highly acclaimed
Lock On Modern Air Combat released in 2003. This new
version has many improvements including a new Russian aircraft,
the Su-25T and the Flaming Cliffs campaign.
If
you are looking for an air combat game where you can be up
and flying in seconds engaging the enemy in mid-air with very
little training, then Lock on Gold is probably not
going to be your cup of tea. If, however, you are after a
realistic battle simulator that allows you to experience the
realities of a war zone, then this is the game you've been
waiting for.
Visually
this game looks the business - making other flight simulators
seem like their backgrounds have been drawn by an eight year
old with crayons. While it look fantastic, you're going to
need a fairly high spec computer to ensure that it runs smoothly.
You're
really going to have to put in the hours before you can fly
comfortably - and what you learn in one aircraft won't necessarily
help you when you are attempting to fly the other planes.
And don't expect waves and waves of enemy aircraft to be on
the horizon waiting for you to line them in your sights. At
times the gameplay can be a tad dull as you spend ages just
seeking out your target, or where some action is. But, once
you get used to it you soon realise that part of the fun is
getting to your destination.
I
had a nightmare trying to install this game - it took three
attempts and the best part of an afternoon, but I have to
admit that the results were worth it.
It
probably goes without saying, but you're going to have to
buy yourself a decent joystick to play this game. It's certainly
worth splashing out if you think you're going to spend the
hours it'll take to get anywhere near half good at flying
your chosen aircraft.
The
sound is first rate too - to the point of being quite frightening.
When that warning sound starts screaming at you, you take
notice - you can't miss the damn thing. And the jet engine
sounds are all well realised
If
you are looking for a realistic combat simulator which will
challenge you for months to come, then congratulations you've
found it.
