Good for a first game and good for a launch title to show off the system's capabilities, but sadly not too much more. I thought it was pretty charming and fun indeed, but there was quite a lot more trial and error than I'd hoped for. That's likely because the game is extremely short, so it uses its repetitive nature as a way to lengthen itself. It took a bit to get used to the flight controls, but I thought they were decently intuitive, especially for a flight sim on an early-90s console. Fun game, but hopefully its sequel is better. Having played the third game first, it's still cool to see where a lot of its ideas came from (e.g. the vehicles and general controls). The music's fucking great too, but that's to be expected from Nintendo.
