Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)and 4.5 isn't an option.I'll get to that in a bit, but about the good.
Atmosphere: Amazing.While playing, you will become immersed in the world created here.The voice acting is terrific, the in flight chatter is informative (though can be repetetive at times).It's downright fun.
Gameplay: Excellent.If you're looking for something to challenge you to the point where you'll tear your hair out, look somewhere else.But if you want a mildly challenging, but winnable flight/action game, give it a try.The planes handle very well with a gamepad or a joystick.I don't know about keyboard, but who would do that anyway?;-)
Graphics: Beautiful.Planes look great, terrain, sky, everything.The cut scenes are nice as well.Just check any screen shot.
Now, the downside.Do not pay attention to the minimum requirements.They are way too low.I'm running an Athlon 900, 128 MB of RAM, and a GeForce 2 w/ 64 MB of DDR, and the menus are slow and the game play stauls at times, almost exclusively at the very beginning of each mission.If you have a slower system, you will have to turn all the graphics setting to low in order to play and drop the resolution to the lowest level.I'd suggest getting the demo first.
Couple other points, don't do a full install, it will run even slower.Also, before you even play it, go to www.microsoft.com/games/crimsonskies/ to get the update.It will solve a critical bug that's mentioned in previous review(s).
A great game with an unfortunate problem that will keep the masses from enjoying it.
