X-Box game question

flying/air combat games...any suggestions? Doesn't seem to be many of them for the XBox.

I noticed Crimson Skies is available but I've got it on my PC. Is it the same game on the XBox?

No, the Xbox version of crimison skies is the a completely different game. And you should be able to find it for about 4 dollars used at gamespot or ebgames.

Hm... I'm not sure if this counts as a flight game but Panzer Dragoon Orta is a heck of a lot of fun.

I highly recommend Crimson Skies. It's got an awesome online multiplayer mode and fantastic single player mode. The single player mode is a bit like GTA in that you fly around to engage your next mission. It's incredibly addicting and fun. I'm just hoping MS will come up with a sequel on the 360. Fantastic game!

So far that's the only flight style game I've played on the Xbox. Panzer Dragoon's on rails (Brilliant) but not exactly a flight game with you in control.

Here's a couple others but I've never played them so I can't say one way or the other though Secret Weapons Over Normandy would probably be my pick.

Blazing Angels
Wings of War
Heroes of the Pacific
Secret Weapons Over Normandy
FireBlade
Yager

Lastly, for another hybrid (not really a flight game) if you see Battle Engine Aquila, grab it. You're in a mech like thing that can switch from ground to flight at ease allowing you to straf the little buggers beneath you. Fun as heck game.
