Heatseeker is an arcade-style combat flight game developed by IR Gurus and released in 2007 for the Wii, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable. The game centers on missile combat, emphasizing a lock-on and evasion system designed to keep aerial engagements fast and explosive. Players pilot a roster of real and near-future military aircraft, including the F-22 Raptor, F-15 Eagle, F-35 Lightning II, and the Russian SU-47 Berkut. Each aircraft brings distinct characteristics to the experience, from stealth capabilities to advanced aerodynamics. Rather than pursuing a detailed simulation of flight mechanics, the game prioritizes high-intensity dogfighting and large-scale destruction, positioning itself as an accessible but action-driven entry within the shooter and flight simulator genres.
