Nice 1942 clone with unplayable parts
This really feels like they made a nice and very decent 1942 game, an overhead shooter with all the bells and whistles, then decided that they "need some 3D VR" and cobbled together the "Immersion Zone" part of the game as an afterthought in a single day without any beta testing whatsoever. The controls and handling of the Immersion Zone are so incredibly bad, those parts of the game are virtually unplayable, regardless of what control system you choose. Didn't they even test this or don't they just care? The difference in quality between the two game parts is quite jarring. The standard 1942 game play is quite nice, but the IZ is an atrocious mess in every respect, with the controls and handling being the worst. Good luck trying to shoot any plane down, apart from random lucky shots. I could forgive the game if you could just turn the IZ off or just ignore those parts, but you still need to "collect stars" from your missions for your progress, which include the IZ, so you are stuck with having to play the IZ parts too. That immediately pulls the rating down to 2 stars, instead of 4 stars. Either fix the IZ or give the player the option to turn it off without hampering their level progression! Not sure if I can trust Ivanovich Games with any future purchases, having experienced this obviously tacked on, shoddy gameplay.
