Our take on MiG-29 Fulcrum
Rather than focusing only on standard fighter handling, the game highlights signature MiG-29 maneuvers such as the Tailslide and Cobra. It also combines a fixed set of solo missions with player-created sorties and multiplayer combat.
What is MiG-29 Fulcrum?
MiG-29 Fulcrum is a flight combat simulation centered on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 fighter.
Its flight model was developed with assistance from Yuri Prikhodko, a MiG-29 test pilot and cosmonaut. The game includes 40 single-player missions and 12 multiplayer missions: six deathmatch missions and six cooperative Air War missions. Players can perform maneuvers such as the Tailslide and Cobra, use a mission design tool to create sorties, and view the action through eight camera perspectives. The game also features a highly detailed interactive cockpit, realistic landscapes, high-definition graphics, and Internet multiplayer through NovaWorld. Multiplayer play includes F-16, MiG-29, and F-22 aircraft in one arena.
