Its an expirence all on its own. It really draws you into the role of a VT Pilot. From my expirience, i got the 5.1 going, shitty TV right above me and the setup to match what it would really be like in a VT. So when you turn it on and the lights start turning on u really get into it. As for replay, you make your own. You wont be wanting to restart because you died or anything (lemme tell ya, anyone with half a brain knows that when the cockpit starts to have flames everywhere you better eject and its not hard.) you replay missions simply because they're fun and well hell you really get better the more you play.
Im currently moving tho, so i had to pack it up for the time being. Everything about it gets you really drawn in, even the box which contains the game and controller, comes in a military type casing, then the actual manual is VERY detailed, so u get into that frame of mind. The controller itself even has its tools built into it. Fun stuff, and well worth my money, but i guess not for everyone, but mostly not for people that cant afford it, trust me if it cost 50$ everyone would praise it more than Halo.
