Dogfight 1942 Russia Under Siege DLC available on XBLA today

Today, Dogfight 1942 Russia Under Siege DLC has launched on Xbox Live. Fans can now become Russia’s bravest and fight fiercely over the vast skies of the Motherland: free Leningrad, reign fire over Kursk and drop explosive greetings from Russia on Berlin.

Russia Under Siege takes players on a visceral journey through the chilling Russian winter where Germany’s dominant air force is pounding at the gates of the Soviet Empire and The Blitzkrieg is at full swing. It doesn’t take the overwhelming Nazi force long to push the Soviets far inland and back towards Moscow.

Dogfight 1942 is out now exclusively as a digital download title for XBLA, unleashing new life into the aerial combat genre. By combining the pick-up-and play-ease of an arcade game, the convenience of digital download, with the depth and production value typically found only in traditional retail games, Dogfight 1942 brings new life to the aerial combat genre!

A fast-paced, WWII air combat arcade game, Dogfight 1942 features three unique game modes — Dogfight, Survival and Campaign — each offering plenty of action that is easy to jump into.

In designing the game, City Interactive implemented incredibly intuitive controls to reduce the need for lengthy tutorials and allow any level of gamer to get up and running.  At the same time, the gameplay remains extremely competitive so that even the most ardent flight game fan will enjoy a challenge.

So get those props spinning, jump into the cockpit and race down that runway, it’s time to fly.

Dogfight 1942 is out now for 1200 Microsoft Points, and will be followed closely by versions for both the PC and PlayStation 3.
