Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I know, they (pc gamer, gamespot, etc...) are talking this sim to be something great and in all respects it is but when you compare it with the other great WWII combat sims (IL2)for intance, it does not even come close. The authenic nature of this game is unbeatable in gun sounds and bomb effects but that is about it. If you like to blow stuff up this is the add-on for you considering the original game was a horrible combat flight sim lacking and unfinnished in so many areas it was not funny!
The great thing is you can use the atom bomb in the superfortress which I have yet to find on the CD but really you get four times more of a sim with IL2 with it's expansion packs and user-made levels and you get 10 times more planes to fly and the effects and graphics are even better in some cases as this title. Sure you don't have the bomb cam but if you look at the ground after unloading a 1000 lb bomb from a German JU bomber you will see the aftermath, maybe not as great but acceptible to say the least. Plus there is really a lack of dog fight them that makes IL2 what it is.
In all, I wish they would not try to lift up Microsoft so much because obviously they could not contend with a foriegn developer as the Russian's have them beat this time with IL2 and the expansion packs Ace, Pacific Fighters. B
ut there is hope for WWII flight sim's made in America, wait until Rowan's Battle of Britain II comes out hopefully this April 2005. What I've seen, this sim might just give both of these sims a run for their money. We'll see.
