I was very dissapionted and the only advice I can give u is to only get the game if u can return it. I saw the game online and went to get it at the store closest to me. I downloaded it without a problem and then when I went to play nothing happened. When I went to return it the guy said that they try to persuade people not to buy the game because it doesn't work. I had gotten my hopes up. I just wish they come out with a new and improved B-17 game. That game really could have been awsome but it doesn't work.

first off, i liked the game, but after i stopped playing, i could not defrag or scandisk my computer. the game adds a new driver to your computer if you don't already have it. i have a 1.3Ghz computer with 256 Rdram,tnt2 video with 32bit, and 40Gig hard drive, HELLO...........tell me what's wrong with this picture,....... my computer is well over the requirements needed. Also, i am a computer tech, so don't tell me it's my computer, or that i don't know what i'm doing, i have tried everything i could to fix the problem, including restoring my computer to the first day i got it(after i uninstalled the game), and to this day i still have trouble running my scandisk. the product should never have been released with the problems that were very apparent prior to the release date.
Tell me when will all you coputer companies release software that is not bug ridden? i own a ps,n64,ns,sega,and 3 computers.

Is as simple as this it DOESN'T WORK. Don't waste your money the game doesn't crash but it could take around 30 miutes just to start flying. and don't said to me that I dont know how to fly I'm an C-130 pilot.

I believe this release is for Flying Fortress II which is totally revamped from the original released about 5 years ago with outstanding new Graphics.

This game was by far the very worst game that i have ever seen. it was unbelieveable how stupid it looked. graphics were horrible, it was boring, all of the enemy planes and attack tactics were the same, and i cant stand how slow it ran, even though my computer is fully loaded with speed, graphics cards, sound cards, and lots of ram, memory, and free space. HORRIBLE dont WASTE you MONEY

Cool factor wore off after 15 minutes.

If you like well simulated flight and controls, Do not plan on enjoying this game. This game was obviously aimed at the arcade style gamers and has little to offer real simmer's that spend time with FS2000 or the like. The graphics were great, and the depth of the mission were superb. However, you are funneled into predesigned sets of activities and don't have the control you are used to if you enjoy pure flight simulation. In short...IF YOU'RE A GAMER/FLYER - BUY IT. IF YOU'RE A SIMMER/FLYER - SAVE YOUR MONEY.

b-17 has some serious faults; not worth buying

The game B-17 Flying Fortress has some very serious game play faults. First of all, the game can suddenly stop installing in the middle of the installation process. A more serious problem is one that i encountered when trying to play the game for the first time. It is that the game has the tendency to not run when you open the games. The game opens for a second or two, but then it just goes away with no trace at all. The manufacturer is aware of these problems and addresses them in the Hasbro tech. support site. Unfortunately, if the support web site doesn't fix your problem, its safe to say that you probably wont be able to fix the problem on your own. This is because the e-mail and telephone support options do not offer any different kind of help than the web site. While on the topic of telephone tech. support, you won't ever talk to an actual human when calling the support number, and its not an "800" number so you will be billed long distance for the call.

Oh,if only I had read some of these reviews before buying this game and wasting $44.00. I actually purchased a new computer with tons of memory to run this game and I still wasen't satisfied with the game's performance. Yes the graphics are great, but the purpose of the simulation (the dropping of bombs on a target) is impossible. In many cases the key commands simply don't work and the instruction manual is grossly inadequate. For example: During the bomb run, in order to adjust the Norden bombsight the keyboard command "shift+K" is to be pressed. Unfortunately the command has no effect and the player after flying all accross Europe ends up dropping his bombs in a cornfield.The absence of accuracy means the player can never hit the target or advance in the game. Another manuver involving the bombsight refers to the joystick, yet there is no instruction given as to calibrating or energizing the joystick. I will never again buy software without checking reviews first.
