It's not all bad news. Graphically, the game shines, utilising Epic's Unreal 3 Engine to sparkling effect. While not quite Gears of War caliber, Airborne's ability to render huge wide open areas with tons of action on screen, thrown in with its jaw-dropping use of full-screen motion blur, all create...
