LADYDRAGON.COM -- F22 LIGHTNING 3

The third in the F22 Lightning series has arrived. It continues the tradition of NovaLogic, known for its quality graphics in simulations of planes and their environments.

This game offers all the things necessary for a good simulation of combat, such as simple missions, fast missions, a campaign, a mission editor, and multiplayer mode.

The single player is composed of a fast generator of missions, some simple missions including getting in formations, the editor of missions, and a campaign. It is exactly the fast generator of missions that it was necessary. You can do a fast mission, or choose a list of missions made on command. Those missions can also be created by using the mission editor included. It is very easy to use.

Considering the popularity of the F22 series, it will be only a question of time before new missions start to arrive on the Internet. The campaign is another style of play. Like the majority of the games from Novalogic, the campaign is a series of missions tied up together in a very specific order. The campaigns can be pleasant if well made, and Novalogic usually does an adequate job creating a campaign which is amusing, even if it exceeds the limits of possibility.

" Or fly during a thunder storm "

" Fly at night "

The campaign takes place all over the world, So the landscape will be completely different each mission. The missions in the campaigns are, for example to escort the space shuttle or to nuke a whole area.

As regards the multiplayer, a good innovation is brought with F22 Lightning 3. They provide you a free microphone to communicate when you play by Internet in Novaworld.

This game follows some others in an unhappy fate of the community of simulation games. They are fast and destructive. You take off, control one minute or two until you reach your objective, you destroy some things, and fly around, destroy even more things, then fly back to the base.

Novalogic has an excellent reputation as regards the graphics quality of these sets of planes and their environments. Lightning 3 continues this tradition of excellence. This game is very enjoyable. It's easy to forget the small downs of the game.

F-22 is a simulation worthy of a film of Hollywood, with all the special effects and of the incredible stories which go with it. The graphics are imposing and the action is much more intense than you could imagine.
