Up for some hot aerial combat on the Wii? Codemasters looks to be bringing the goods!

Codemasters have announced Heatseeker, an original title on target for take off in the first quarter of 2007 for the Wii, as well as the PS2 and PSP. With missions across the US, down to the Caribbean, across Antarctica and into the Far East, it'll be high-velocity combat all the way that'll see you constantly switching from predator to prey as enemy missiles lock on.

Designed to contain a great lock-on/shake-off experience, this missile-combat focused game will feature a large collection of current and near-future military fighter jets, including the stealthy F-22 Raptor, the classic F-15 Eagle, the cutting-edge F35 Lightening II, and the aerodynamically advanced Russian SU-47 Berkut.

When you launch a strike, you'll follow your missiles as they ruthlessly home in on their targets via the Impact Cam. Delivering cinematic 3rd-person camera cutaway scenes, the Impact Cam will reveal the results of your attack in all their devastating glory from all kinds of dynamic angles, complete with jaw-dropping explosions and smoke trails.

Says Andrew Wensley, Senior Producer for Heatseeker at Codemasters: "If you like fast and furious action, and blowing everything in sight to bits, then Heatseeker is a dream come true. Expect the greatest military aircraft armed to the teeth with the latest hardware, big explosions, great smoke trails, and gung-ho heroics."

Heatseeker is a joint development project between Codemasters and IR Gurus, the Australian studio behind the acclaimed historic air combat title, Heroes of the Pacific. Putting you right in the centre of the action, Heatseeker will deliver the latest fighters, current conflicts, black ops, grey and white missions and a constant stream of macho military radio traffic to build the atmosphere.
