	CrimsonSkies
		Crimson Skies protagonist is one Nathan Zachary, an accomplished and somewhat crusty swashbuckling air-pirate who leads a group of misfits and bandits known as the Fortune Hunters.
		Crimson Skies' backstory and plot unfold in elaborate cut-scenes between missions that are quite effective in establishing the characters' motivations while moving the plot forward at a good pace.
		Crimson Skies' gameplay emphasizes action, and this arcade shooting approach means you don't have to spend a lot of time learning how to fly the planes.

	Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - XBox Review
		The FASA world of Crimson Skies involved an alternate reality where, in the era right after around WWII, air power reigned supreme, huge cargo zeppelins replaced the cargo ships that dominated the era, and as such, roving bands of single person planes would make off with loot and terrorize the shipping lanes in the air.
		Crimson Skies is a great game, albeit very, very short, and a stripped down version of its predecessor.
		Crimson Skies is definitely worth playing through for the experience, although there isn't a whole lot to keep you around after the first play through if you're not online.

	Crimson Skies - Xbox Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge follows the same path to Xbox glory and not only is a solid PC-to-Xbox title, but considering the incredible Xbox Live play it offers, is one of the top Xbox games released to date, rivaling even the revered Halo with its overall quality.
		Crimson Skies rivals Splinter Cell and Dead or Alive 3 for the most wonderful graphics to appear on the Xbox yet.
		Crimson Skies really flew out of nowhere to land as one of the best Xbox games available, especially with its amazingly engrossing online play, near-flawless visuals and sound, strong overall gameplay, and lightning-quick control responsiveness.

	Rise of Nations review on GameBlitz - Game Search Engine
		It could be seen as the sequel to the well-regarded Crimson Skies PC game that was released late in 2000, and which introduced a novel approach to a combat flight sim - that of an alternate 1930s aero-reality.
		The Xbox version of Crimson Skies uses an all-new game engine, which incorporates fantastic graphics, adds a few interesting new features to the mix and, best of all, you can invite 15 of your favourite militant monkeys to a multiplayer compression session and have a slapdash time via system link, LAN or Xbox Live.
		Crimson Skies: The Road to High Adventure has a light-hearted feel that seems to permeate every facet of the game and, at times, it becomes a very flamboyant romp through a 1930s that never existed.

	Gaming Illustrated - Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge (XBox) Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge combines aerial combat with an innovative movie story-telling styling the form of a swashbuckling Hollywood action-adventure movie.
		As mentioned before, Crimson Skies: Road to High Revenge is extremely high on the fun factor and shoot-em-up physics, and not a real-to-life flight sim engine.
		Crimson Skies: Road to High Revenge is a great title, and one you should definitely consider looking at this holiday season.

	"The Next Level" Game Review - Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

		Crimson Skies is the type of game which will appeal to avid FPS fans or anyone with even a remote interest in flight-based action games (Ace Combat types, take note).

		Crimson Skies' alternate version of United States history demands convoluted verb tenses but pays off with a sweeping tale of adventure in the skies.
		Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge offers a stylish and fresh single-player campaign, but it’s the standout multiplayer gaming that’s likely to drive sales both of Crimson Skies itself and the Xbox Live service.
		Where Crimson Skies earns a purchase is in the multiplayer component.

		Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is the game I've been waiting for since Xbox Live launched last year.
		Crimson Skies offers enough variety to keep you busy for some time, with or without the multiplayer aspects, but to get the full enjoyment this game has to offer, you'll need Live.

		Crimson Skies does not focus on realism and simulating the reality of flight, and instead concentrates on the breathtaking action involved in air combat -- grabbing the joystick, jamming down on the trigger, and blasting your enemy's plane out of the sky.
		Crimson Skies grew out of the desire at FASA Interactive for an aerial combat title that gives you the chance to flaunt your unrealized fighter pilot prowess.
		With the road and railway system destroyed, the skies have become the only means of transport and commerce, and giant zeppelins have become crucial carriers of both passengers and cargo.

	Maximum3D - Crimson Skies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Crimson Skies is an entertaining title from Microsoft and Zipper Entertainment, taking place in an alternate past.
		Crimson Skies is based on an old pen and paper game from FASA (who also created the BattleTech series), and the storyline has developed into a very rich game world, full of unique enemies and plot twists.
		Unlike a lot of flight sims on the market, you are going to need every frame per second possible for Crimson Skies, since many of the missions require precise stunt flying and split second reactions.

	IGN: Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Review
		October 20, 2003 - In the end Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge will be considered a success because it pulled the rarest of tricks in avoiding the path to disaster and recovering as a solid, beautifully done Xbox Live game.
		We had a chance to see Crimson Skies early on in its development and it was shaping up as an extremely arcadey, dumbed-down version of the cult-favorite PC game of the same name.
		Crimson Skies' single player game tells the story of Nathan Zachary, a daring air-pirate of the alternate 1930's of the Crimson Skies universe where air travel is the only way to get around.

	G4 - Feature - 'Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge' (Xbox) Review
		"Crimson Skies" takes gamers on a daredevil adventure through an alternate '30s universe where airships are commonplace, pirate gangs roam the skies, and every day is a Hindenburg accident just waiting to happen.
		But in the process, "Crimson Skies" manages not only to retain all its cool '30s cliffhanger sensibilities, but also transforms itself into one of the more entertaining games on the Xbox.
		"Crimson Skies" also makes especially good use of Dolby Digital surround sound, which is a good thing considering that being able to hear planes behind you can be a real lifesaver.

	Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - GameCritics.com
		Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge arrived with so much hype and fanfare that it's easy to forget that, at one time, it was nearly vaporware.
		But even though so much of Crimson Skies works and truly does a respectable job of adding some pizzazz to its increasingly arcane framework through a tightly wound narrative, I never felt that it was quit enough.
		Crimson Skies does so much to propel itself above mediocrity that it seems strange that, though it succeeds, it doesn't capture the robust energy of its larger-than-life story in its gameplay.

	DailyGame Review: Crimson Skies [Xbox]
		Lethal Skies II had the speed and environments, too, but the AI was so challenging that the only thing in hot pursuit was your PS2 controller headed for the TV screen.
		Crimson Skies, though, strikes such a perfect balance of speed, control, level design and challenging-but-not-impossible AI that you truly feel like you’re an alternate-1930s-universe pilot.
		Crimson Skies has the standard Dogfight, Flag Heist (Capture the Flag) and team-based modes, but our personal favorite here at DailyGame is the hilarious and addictive "Wild Chicken." This mode is sort of like Stayaway in Midtown Madness 3 with a bit of capture-the-flag base-defending flair.

	Kikizo Games: Xbox Review: Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
		Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, to give it its full title, began development at FASA Studio in 2002.
		The process of redesigning the PC game released in 2000 was not a smooth one, with the Xbox title coming close to being cancelled and the lead producer leaving midway through the project while the game steamrolled passed its due date.
		The most stunning achievement in Crimson Skies is how easy it all is. Your first couple hours in the cockpit offer perhaps the most well-balanced learning curve in recent memory.

		As good as Crimson Skies single player campaign is, the multiplayer mode is where it's at, supporting up to 16 players online via Xbox Live with all of the standard XBL features enabled.
		Crimson Skies is such a fun and smooth game to play online that it has now overtaken Return to Castle Wolfenstein as my favorite XBL game.
		Crimson Skies is the complete package, from a deep single player mode to one of the best online components out there.

		Crimson Skies, the new arcade-like flight-fantasy game from Microsoft, is a tale of three experiences.
		Crimson Skies is a lesson in how an incredibly awesome game interface, gameplay, and graphics (the part the user sees) can be so completely ruined by a game that just won't run.
		Crimson Skies is one of those games that will tempt you to just fly around for the fun of it (of course you will be pelted by enemy aircraft the whole time).

		The soundtrack and sound effects of Crimson Skies are well done and include sounds from guns firing to planes exploding.
