In XBN they showed the release date for Jane's Attack Sqd. Being in Feb. But I can't find anything about it on Teamxbox.com or Amazon.com any one have some ideas?

XBN is Xbox Nation

What's this game about? If I didn't know any better it sounds like an adult game.

(I couldn't find this game on either xbox.ign.com or gamespot.com, sorry Bobafett)

Jane's is um, probably the biggest military reference publisher in the world. They publish a HUGE book of the world's planes every year, along with a big one for military naval vehicles every year. I think they have some other ones, too. I have a... '96 edition of the Jane's plane one, and it probably weighs at least 10 pounds. They do a bunch of other reference stuff, too. EA licensed them out for a bunch of sim games, which are all pretty good and realistic. I remember Jane's ATF and Navy Fighters from the middle 90s on the PC... ahhh, nostalgia.

I paid $5 for my '96 edition at a library sale.

This game was already released on PC and was a real disappointment. It had potential, but was obviously unfinished. One of the selling points was that a bunch of guys playing online could assume the different gunner positions in a B-17. Only thing was, you could only attack other human online pilots. You could not engage AI planes. Since only around 6 guys could fly at once, that meant that once the bomber was crewed, all you could do was fly around and sight-see!

I have bought Jane's/EA games for PC in the past that were fun to fly, like WWII Fighters, F/A 18 and USAF. It'll be interesting to see if Attack Squadron works better as a console game.
