F Tomcat is a very challenging game and an ambitious undertaking for a GBA title. The controls are a bit tricky since each button has dual modes depending on what you are doing. The book is required reading before you even attempt the first mission. AWACS, or radar mode, will be your best friend. You will not be able to find the airborne refueling ship or your aircraft carrier, once you take off, without it.
Keep in mind the controls are set up like a joystick: the down arrow is like pulling back on the yoke, which causes your aircraft to increase in altitude. If you are an experienced GBA player this may take a little getting used to but it does give you better realism in flight. When in cockpit mode you can press the Left and Right buttons to look over each shoulder. You are in a fast plane that at high speeds corners like a pig.
If you want to win, you have to take the speed down around the corners and then your plane will turn on a dime. Keep in mind, speed uses fuel quicker and takes away agility. Don't get me wrong, speed is needed to get to the combat location and to help outrun SAMs but, when in a dogfight, notch the speed down and you will be able to get in behind your opponent more often. There is also an easy password option which means you do not need to replay finished missions unless you so desire. I love this feature since I do not want to have to replay all of the missions, since some are just for surviving and going on to the next mission.
Finally a game that has up to four players in multiplayer mode! The documentation says that this is an 'Aerial death-match.
I only hope I get to try this out some day. I will need to convince a few of my friends to buy this game so we can play this mode. I am happy to see this feature and would like to see more games include multiplayer options. The graphics are very good for the small screen and I like the views best when looking over a shoulder. This is counterproductive, however, unless you are trying to find out where that bogie is and which way you should turn to get away from him.
At first, I found myself trying to keep right side up and keep the land below me on the view. This did not last long since I had to do a fair amount of turning and burning to stay on the bad guy's tail.
