Product Description
Heatseeker brings you full-on air combat - it's an incredible lock-on/shake-off experience. Push these jets to the limit as you try & keep your enemies in your targeting zone long enough for your missiles to lock. After a terrorist attack on a rolling-news TV station is captured live, the world's military leadership sends a squad to face the source: A dangerous dictator with an advanced nuclear cache. Enter the cockpits of current and near-future military fighter jets, to unlock a massive rush of destruction. Heatseeker reinvents missile combat to give gamers a new military combat experience. The most explosive, destructive and exhilarating arcade aerial combat experience ever

 Your just doing the same things over and over again! October 5, 2008
I don't know where this game went wrong. Okay, its irritating at first but when I got the hang of it I was ready to blow up some planes.
Its fun at first , but then I played some more levels and I was asking myself " Is that it? "
I mean all the levels are pretty much the same. So you're in a plane , then other planes an start shooting at you and you're ordered to shoot them down.
I did not even finish this game. So hey, maybe you should buy it[or rent it] and play it all the way through and possibly it will get better.
But it just did not fly with me.

I wanted another flight sim game and this gave me the challenge. I spent many hours trying to land on a aircraft carrier but determination finally got me "on deck". Unfortunetly MarioKart has taken over and haven't played Heeseeker in a couple of weeks.
 fairly good January 28, 2008
This game is pretty fun. I got a Wii for my kids and got this game for me. I have played it twice and had fun both times. I am no game expert by any means so take this for what it is worth.
Great action play! Simple, but not too simple! November 30, 2007

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GX2VGNGMXTIU My only beef with this game is that it's very redundant and unrealistic. However, real life is boring, so they had to put in non-real-world scenarios and give your fighter endless ammo limited only by over-heating. I love the controls of the game, it really adds to the fun! Here's a video of how it all works!
 A fun 3/5 worth $30.00 game October 20, 2007
I was actually able to pickup this game for $20.00 a week ago, and have been blasting through the missions. The flight controls take some getting used to, but once you know them, flying around is a lot of fun. Unlimited missiles and ammo is a bit unrealistic, but fine for this type of arcade title.
What's lacking?
- Multiplayer support (vs or coop would have been nice)
- Next-gen graphics (the Wii's capabilties were not pushed at all)
- A compelling storyline (Tie Fighter back in the day had an awesome story)
Overall, a fun ride, and worth $30.00 if you can find the game for that price. Hopefully enough people will buy this game, prompting Codemasters to make a sequel incorporating one or more of the above points. Then we'd have a 4/5 or 5/5 title.
