You can't have aerial dogfighting without the dog! Join Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang in the premier online flight shooter on Xbox LIVE® Arcade, Snoopy Flying Ace. With simple flight controls and a hangar full of customizable planes and weapons, all you need are nerves of steel to climb the Leaderboards and become a Flying Ace! Snoopy Flying Ace takes addictive, fast-paced airborne combat to new heights, with fantastic solo and co-op challenges testing your skills against the Flying Circus of the dreaded Red Baron. Remember, it ain't the size of the dog in the fight … it's the size of the fight in the dog!

    * Customize your plane: Choose from 16 unique, customizable airplanes, from barnstorming Sopwiths to the dreaded Fokker triplane of the Red Baron himself! Outfit your plane from an arsenal of 15 ingenious weapons to suit your strategy for your next battle.
    * Spectacular environments: Enter the heroic world of Snoopy's imagination, with 10 awesome battlefields catering to the famous beagle's thirst for adventure.
    * Original online game modes: Fight your way to the rank of Flying Ace on the Xbox LIVE Leaderboards, competing in 9 distinct game modes ranging from 16-player free-for-all dogfights to team-based airborne rugby.
    * Bring your avatar: Play as Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, or any of the 12 classic members of the Peanuts gang. Or, climb into the cockpit with your Xbox LIVE Avatar, but don't forget your goggles!
    * Aerial acrobatics: Simple flight controls will have you pulling loops, barrel rolls, Immelmans, and other death-defying stunts in no time.

I found the demo to be pretty fun, but it could use more vibrant colors and a little less brown. This is Peanuts, after all. ^^;;; Oh well, that's Western developers for you.

What do you guys think?

About time that Snoop Dog gets his own video game.

He had a similar game on the PS2 by the same developers called Snoopy vs. The Red Baron. It was quite good, but most people overlooked it since it came out so late in the PS2's life. ^^

Or because it was Peanuts stuff. It is so good because some of the people who made the Crimson Skies games worked on this.

I thought the art was very similar to Sonic Unleashed and the menus kind of reminded me of Valkyria, and the graphics looked way better to boot! Absolutely astounding game BTW, must play for everyone here I think.

I agree. Everyone should at least give it a try.

The demo even comes with online multiplayer! ^__^

I was a big Peanuts fan back in my childhood. Had a good shelf full of merch, mostly from the 50's and 60's. I even met Charles Schulz, shook his hand and received an autograph!

So basically, yeah, I really really need to buy this over the weekend.
