Review: Tornado Low Level for the Amstrad CPC

Heralded by its creators as the fastest, smoothest ever scrolling in an Amstrad CPC game, you fly the latest Swing -Wing fighter bomber with 360 degree control, Tornado Low Level, set from an over head view point.  Taking off from a runway,  your objective is to pilot your fighter bomber, locating enemy targets to bomb as you avoid the obstacle riddled terrain of water, housing, trees and other buildings.  If you can bomb all targets you must land your fighter and return back to base.  Sounds simple but i assure you carrying out the task is not.  Controlling the fighter bomber takes practice, practice, practice, you seem to fly off everywhere at supersonic speed, its very unforgiving, especially landing and firing bombs as you must hug the terrain at a very low level.  Graphically its quite basic but it does scroll at super speed and just for that you have check it out.
