    Gameplay

    The
    The "ImpactCam"
    The game generally follows standard aerial combat controls, however, the Wii controls allow for much greater freedom and players can either use the Nunchuk like a flight stick, in which it is necessary to tilt the Nunchuk to control the direction of the aircraft and use the Wii Remote to use as a trigger for weapons. The alternative method on the Wii is to use the Wii Remote as a "pointer" and guide your craft by pointing where you want to go. The game offers both a first and third person perspective and also offers some destructible environments, players can destroy bridges to disable enemies traveling further, airports to stop more aerial reinforcements for the enemies, docks to disable enemies boats from being built and military bases which help the player stop enemy tanks and land vehicles being constructed. Heatseeker has a camera feature called "ImpactCam" which lets players see the destruction that they're missile has caused by following its path and seeing what enemy it hits.
