# Shoot Your Way To Safety

Description: [Combat Flight](http://localhost/product/combat-flight/) casts you as the commander of a fighter ship, flying through mountainous terrain shooting at alien ships. Seven types of alien ships fly by. Points scored depend on the of alien you hit with lasers. A player gets three lives per game.

After the game, the top five scores are displayed with the name of the player. If you score in the top five you add your name to the list.

Evaluation: This is good action game. The speed of lasers is fast and the response time of the controls is good. It is an easy game to play with only three keys to press – Q for up, A for down and ENTER for firing.

The graphics in Combat Flight show a passing mountain range. The player must avoid hitting the mountains, flying too high and running into ships. This is challenging because the alien ships often fly close together.

Combat Flight is a good game but it is very similar to many other games on the market. I found the game a little too repetitive in its action and would not want to play it often.
