Heatseeker is an arcade aerial blaster where the player flies nearly 40 fully-licensed modern jet fighters at supersonic speeds, firing huge numbers of missiles at vast numbers of enemy planes, tanks, ships, cruise missiles and anything else that looks in need of being taught a lesson. It features the ImpactCam, which lets you watch the effects of your destruction up close and personal, avoiding the long-distance 'blip killing' often found in other flight games.
Players take on the role of pilot Mike 'Downtown' Hudson, who flies for the International Council's Air Force. A dictator has launched a terrorist attack - you are part of the response to fight sea and airborne enemies in an attempt to avert an international crisis. Missions take place on locations all over the world.
The gameplay is fast-paced and action-packed, with infinite ammo, huge kill counts, a colourful look, and over-the-top characters and scenarios.
In the PlayStation 2 , players use controls to steer the aircraft. The plane can either be steered using the control stick or with the directional pad.
The PlayStation 2 version has no voice-overs, only text; it is also the only version to support multiplayer games - up to 4 players in 5 game modes: Dogfight, Team Dogfight, Base vs Base, Fox & Hounds, and Last Man Flying.
Heatseeker was released on May 1st , 2007 for the PlayStation 2 .
