Nuclear Eagle - somewhat flawed kinetic interaction

Take the kinetic action of the Wii, roll it into a beautifully presented Flash game, and you’ve got Nuclear Eagle. You take the role of a giant, mutant eagle terrorizing the suburbs. Swoop down to pick up humans and toss them into your nest full of feeding babies.

Why should you play?
Nuclear Eagle has a kind of kinetic control that’s hard to implement, and it does it with flying colors. The control never feels mechanical, nor does it feel too precise. It features an intuitive mechanic that takes some time to master, but always feels right.

What could be better?
Picking up people is awkward, so click-and-miss is frequent. Additionally, the game could use some more dynamics. (I envision some mini-feats, such as throwing humans through hoops and such.)

If you’re a fan of the Wii, kinetic gameplay, or giant, mutant eagles, then you can take some cues from Nuclear Eagle. This game isn’t one to throw to the birds!
