Despite common criticisms against Strikers 1945, Strikers is a very good game. Despite its lack of story, and its short game, Strikers manages to ace one aspect **** that very few others can pull of: it was an extremely difficult game (One of the most difficult of all time, at that), yet it never tempted the player to quit mid-game. They managed to keep the difficulty at max while keeping the game playable, fun, and not frustrating. I would laugh at myself for running into that one bullet, or for not using my airstrike, and even if I get to the part where you have to restart the level, I would still continue playing without a second thought. Even at that, Strikers 1945 is a great way to test your flying skills and reaction time while keeping the mechanics pretty basic. All you have is your plane, your charge attack, your airstrike, and a crap-ton of enemies that are 10 times your size, and 10 times the difficulty.
