Eurofighter Typhoon PC CD-ROM

Published by Sold Out Software
Developed by Rage Software
Released: Out Now
Price: £4.99

Sold Out Software have had their fair share of flight simulations over the years. Most of these have actually been very good but alas Eurofighter Typhoon is not one of the good ones. Rather than go for an all out simulation, Rage and Digital Image Design decided to go for the arcade experience and a rather poor one at that.

The game is set in the early 21st century, 2015 to be precise and sees you in charge of six pilots. The Russians have invaded Iceland, the country not the frozen food superstore, and it's your job to push them out of there. Each successful mission regains a territory whilst a defeat loses a territory. You have to hang about in the mess hall until a random mission generates itself. This means you'll spend a lot of time doing nothing, which is silly. The actual flying experience is quite poor and will be instantly disliked by those wanting a realistic experience. There are no skirmish missions available and the multiplayer game needs every gamer to own a copy of the game.

The game isn't that deaf gamer friendly. The introduction isn't subtitled and the news clips that accompany war events aren't fully subtitled. Mission briefings and general help messages are exclusively in text so the game is not impossible for a deaf gamer. If you're looking for a good combat flight game though look elsewhere as this simply isn't worth it.

Recommendation: Eurofighter Typhoon is not one of the late Rage's better titles and I would go as far to say it's not even worth £4.99.

Suitability for deaf gamers: Sections of the game are unsubtitled.

Overall Game Rating: 2.0/5
