Story
Players take on the role of an International Council airman Mike "Downtown" Hudson (who is not shown to speak), often accompanied by wingman Hank Harrison. The game begins with a terrorist attack. The plot follows on from this attack and the International Council's attempt to thwart a dangerous dictator with an advanced nuclear cache named Bae Jung-Tae. Along the way, the player uses their flying and fighting skills to tackle a range of airborne enemies including a smuggling boss known as Granuja and the Rogue Federation pirate, Admiral Golovich.[2]
Gameplay
Heatseeker is an aerial combat game that pits players against a variety of computer-controlled airborne opponents. Players are equipped with modern military hardware and a choice of weapons. The game offers players access to over 30 jets and 40 different weapons.[3]
Missions take place over the US, the Caribbean and Antarctica. Heatseeker has a display feature called ImpactCam, which allows the player to follow the progress of a missile once it is fired through to impact, from several camera angles. Environments are destructible, and players can blow up bridges, airports, docks, and military bases. The game offers players the choice between first and third person viewpoints.[4]
Reception
The game has received mixed reviews, including a 7.6/10 from IGN UK [5], an 87% from Official Nintendo Magazine [6], a "C+" grade for the Wii version from The Wiire, a 7.5/10 from Nintendo Power, and a 2.5/5 from EGM (Electronic Gameing Monthly).
