Dropship's most striking feature is its gameplay variety. In the game, you transport cargo, such as vehicles and troops, in and out of the front line using an airplane that can both speed through the skies and hover over the terrain. On the way, however, you’ll dogfight enemy aces, attack ground forces, and defend envoys. You’ll also help the ground war by periodically driving a four-wheeled vehicle to do reconnaissance and extractions, while in other missions, you’ll control a cannon as someone else drives for some thrilling rail shooting action. Besides its fantastic game modes, Dropship also excels in the visual department. Even the sounds are strong. Panicking allied voices over the radio and a pestering co-pilot add to the involving action. Dropship’s control scheme, however, can get frustrating at times. Buttons aren’t configurable, so you’ll have a hell of a time trying to master your aircraft’s many controls. Despite the fair controls, Dropship still performs with flying colors.
