The game is set in the world of modern air combat, where you are a member of the elite fighting force called the Fox One. As a member of Fox One, you are assigned a number of missions. These missions are based on real-world events. As you complete them, you gain experience, which you can use to improve your fighting skills.

The gameplay is based on a physics engine, which allows you to perform stunts and moves that were previously impossible. This gives the game a unique feel. The physics engine also allows you to build and destroy aircraft.
