I thought this was going to be a game about the Lone Ranger getting pushed out of a plane. But no. It's about a soldier-type who parachutes on to a load of battlefields in turn. What you have to do is kill loads of the enemy and blow up or capture a military thing of great value.

Having spent a lot of money on the game (well, I think 3.99 is a lot!), you'll want to spend loads of time playing it. And lo! You can. There are loads of levels, and each takes quite a while to play.

You can see your little guy from above and behind, and you must shoot everyone who attacks him. It seems like a terrible waste of expensive ammo, I know, but it's just got to be done.

It's not a bad game, is Airborne Ranger, and it's quite exciting. You get several different weapons to use (blowing up bunkers with the rocket is a hoot) and there's a fair bit of skill involved. If you're interested in something a bit unusual, and if a penguin at the zoo gives you 3.99 to spend on computer games, this isn't a bad one to buy.

You can crawl under barbed wire! You can grenade trenches! You can walk around firing indiscriminately! You can even settle down with Airborne Ranger and have a good bash.
