Now, I'm not usually one for offering advice on your latest purchase. No, it's up to you to learn from your mistakes along with the rest of us. Should you decide to boot up G-Loc and give the easy section a miss, however, then on your own head be it.

I'm not saying that the harder levels are impossible, but unless you get a feel for the action before it gets too hot, you could end up getting very, very frustrated indeed.

Take my advice and get gunning on the beginner's course first. Besides, once you've got the killer instinct against the slowcoaches, the higher levels should form a much more masterable experience, if you get my drift.

OK, run this little beauty and watch as your experimental super plane does a 360 degree flip on take-off, before getting down to the serious action.

Your first task is simply to take out eight enemy jets, whose approach you can monitor on your on-screen radar system. Watch out for attacks on your tail, as you can pick up some pretty severe damage before you know what's happening.

Be careful, outmanoeuvre the enemy and get them in your sights as quickly as possible. Once there, let 'em have it, by releasing one of your excellent guided missiles.

Catch them just right, and the elimination of an enemy can be pretty impressive. Your own elimination is just as impressive, however, as you nose dive out of the sky in flames.

Now, we don't want that to happen, do we? No, so keep a check on your limited stock of missiles and use the carefully to take out the allotted number of enemy craft.

Complete the first level, and the number of targets increases, until you finally succeed and are considered worthy of the next set of suicide missions.

Moving on from the beginner's course, you can now get the feel of your powerful After Burner to escape the unwanted attention of the enemy. Effecting a nifty, high-speed, loop-the-loop will totally dumbfound the opposition and, hopefully, leave you in the ideal position for a kill.

This is high-speed stuff, carefully designed to give you training in throttle control and use of the afterburner. After all, if you manage to survive through to the final set of confrontations, you will need all the skill you can muster to defeat the enemy.

If you think you have what it takes to meet the cream of the opposition in their lightning FX 85 Tailgaters, then you'd better get gunning and prove your worth now. Featuring some excellent graphics as well as some stunning sound effects on the later states, this is one blast not to be missed when it hits the shelves.
