Manufacturer's Description:
Designed to be an incredible lock-on/shake-off experience, Heatseeker reinvents missile combat to give gamers a massive rush of destruction. featuring an incredible collection of current and near-future military fighter jets, Heatseeker’s arsenal includes the stealthy F-22 Raptor, the classic F-15 Eagle, the cutting-edge F35 Lightening II, and the aerodynamically advanced Russian SU-47 Berkut.

If you like fast and furious action and blowing everything in sight to bits, then Heatseeker is a dream come true. Expect the greatest military aircraft armed to the teeth with the latest hardware, big explosions, great smoke trails, and gung-ho heroics.

Heatseeker straps you into the pilot’s seat and delivers an exhilarating white-knuckle ride that’ll have you clutching the joypad. Engage in face-melting 6G turns and fight against a seemingly-impossible amount of airborne enemies. And when you launch a strike, you’ll follow your missiles as they ruthlessly home in on their targets via the Impact Cam. Delivering awesome cinematic 3rd-person camera cutaway scenes, the Impact Cam reveals the results of your attack in all their devastating glory from all kinds of dynamic angles, complete with jaw-dropping explosions and smoke trails.

With missions across the US, down to the Caribbean, across Antarctica and into the Far East, it’ll be high-velocity combat all the way that’ll see you constantly switching from predator to prey as an enemy missiles lock on.

Throughout the game’s campaigns, you’ll need to prove your right to fly with the best. Are you good enough to advance ahead of your fellow pilots and stay top? Can you throw your aircraft to the floor, twist and turn, and punch out counter measures as you pull as many Gs as necessary to out-manoeuvre the missile? Basically, are you good enough to stay alive?

Heatseeker is a joint development project between Codemasters and IR Gurus, the Australian studio behind the acclaimed historic air combat title, Heroes of the Pacific.

Customer Reviews

BRILLIANT GREAT FUN!!!
I wasn't expecting this game to be that good as of some of the reviews on other game sites, however, it is terribly underated. The controls are really good once you have got the hang of them. The planes look great and the difference between each one in the handeling is very noticable. The graphics may not be great, but, the the sence of speed that you get is great especially when a plane passes you with metres to spare. I would highly recommend anyone with a wii to buy this game or at least look into it!

Fun, plain & simple
Having given up on Microsoft Flight Sims as being just too bloody tricky it is nice to put this on and blast away with guns and missiles to my hearts content! The graphics are good, the gameplay limited ( I doubt it was developed for longevity!)the effects are great, the missile-cam in particular makes me smile.
So, to sum it all up, if you want to lock your brain into "Einstein" mode, carry on with the sims variety of game, don't buy this. If however, you want a fun variation on the shoot 'em up genre, get this game. Amazon ratings ask the question "How much FUN is this game", my opinion is, lots, therefore 5 stars.

heatseekers great
I bought this game for my 14 year old son and he hasn't stop playing on it. Its a great game but hard to control sometimes.
