The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic and colorful arcade dogfighter with comic-book flair, balancing solo and team action in short, exhilarating aerial skirmishes.

What players say

Players say it is a simple, arcade-style dogfighter with no ammo management and a short campaign around 3.5 hours. Repeatable balloon refueling and search missions get tedious. The online multiplayer does not work, and PC players cannot use a mouse. Fans of the first game find this a similar expansion, but those wanting more depth or precision flight controls will be disappointed.
