 great concept, feeble execution September 19, 2008
James Daniels (Columbus, OH)
I had high hopes for Snoopy in this one. I enjoyed the comic strips and the animated movies as a kid, and I've been on the lookout for WWI sims in general.
The graphics in this game are great, and the score is nice. The animated sequences featuring the Peanuts gang are a treat. The plot line, where you must rescue Charlie Brown, is marginally engaging.
The main drawbacks to the game are the repetitiveness of the play (defeat a few bad guys, fight giant boss, rinse, repeat), the fact that most of the game is spent fighting ground targets (with only occasional fights against unskilled pilots), and the total absence of a free-flight or racing mode. The latter, in the post-Mario Kart era, can only be interpreted as a horrendous error. Given the beauty and simplicity of the arcade style sim controls, a free flight mode or race mode would be wonderful. The special weapons are hilarious, making the lack of a race mode that much more galling.
Another minor annoyance is that there are only a handful of environments for flying in, and only a few of these are open for the player-vs-player dogfight mode.
Young kids (6 and up) not already bored with the level-boss-new-level style of play will enjoy the game. There is plenty of mayhem and violence, though enemy pilots always bail out at the last second and float down on parachutes.

My son, Hunter just turned 9. For his birthday he was on a Snoopy binge. Amazon offered the PS 2 game and I ordered it. My son plays it everyday. Thank you Amazon.com for helping me deliver something so enjoyable to my child.

The PS2 version has things happening too fast and all at once. The scope is more limited than on the PC version. I think I'll get use to it. (This game is easier to play if you have more than two thumbs - lol).
 Very good game for peanuts fans January 7, 2008
Andres Vasquez (Concord, CA United States)
A very good game for fans of the peanuts gang. Gameplay is suited for children, as well as adults. Controls to the game were simple and the missions were entertaining. Somewhat of a surprise. Was not expecting this type of gameplay, but very happy with the product.
