Crimson Skies, Look ma, a dirigible! Options

Is anyone else excited about this release? (This coming Tuesday, the 21st.)

I am so getting XBL just to play this online, I was a huge fan of the first one on PC, and I've been frothing with anticipation for the Xbox version since....whenever it was announced (a long time ago, it seems!)

I really dig the arcade style flight action (a la Ace Combat series), and the cool alterna-world-post-depression/apocalyptic-flyboy-air-pirate (!) setting is just too fun.

Yeah, there are 6 main game types. Dogfight, Team Dogfight (deathmatch and team deathmatch, respectively), then theres 2 "keep away" games, solo and team versions. Then there is Capture the Flag and some other mode involving chasing a chicken that I haven't tried out yet.

And the maps are AMAZING. There is so much terrain to cover, and the variety between the different areas is awesome. My favorite so far has to be the Chicago map, where you are flying in between towering skyscrapers and buzzing the city streets.
