After trying countless flight sims and finding most essentially unplayable, we now finally have a game everyone can play and enjoy. This game is one of my favorite games I have purchased for the Xbox. I am a big WWII fan and the attention to details here are fantastic so accuracy is not lost over gameplay...there is a very fine balance here which I appreciate.

I've played thru 7 missions (total of 30) and I have to tell you I am totally hooked. I've flown Hurricanes, Spitfires, ME109's, P-38's, Swordfish, Ju-88's and Wildcats so far. This game is just amazing. I highly recommend it and to me it is the sleeper hit of this holiday seaso.

What a let down....

My Wife made the mistake of buying me the game as an early X-mas gift and what a mistake. I'm sending it to my Brother's kids in the morning, maybe it will be able to entertain a seven and a nine year old, but I doubt it. What a shame, I was at least expecting an updated SWOTL!

The flight dynamics are missing a few things, like gravity. I've played games like the Falcon series and IL-2 but I also love games like Crimson Skies so I'm not a realism fanatic.

All I got was some dated eye candy. What a shame.

This game looked promising until I played it!

First let me say from a serious flight sim fan, this game sucks! Now, if I was someone who just wanted to shoot things and didn't care about the realism aspect, maybe I would be satisfied. I don't actually own the game, I own a demo of the game, but from what I've seen so far I wouldn't buy the game. I wouldn't even play the game if it was given to me because again, it sucks! Sure the graphics are O.K. but it takes a pretty high-end system to render them, I've got a AMD 2400 w/ 2.0 Gigs & a GeForce 4 w/ 256 RAM & I still had to turn the graphic settings almost all the way down just to get a fairly decent & playable speed out of the game. But even if the game played well I would still be dissapointed at the flight model & overall flight dynamics of the game. Coming from someone who respects the companies out there that put so much work into thier flight sims and come out with a product like Falcon 4.0 & the Janes series, & still charge half as much as this one does, I'm very dissapointed in the Lucas Arts Company for even marketing this one as a flight sim. This game feels more like your flying one of the Star Wars Fighters! If you like flight sims and are picky like me about realism, then don't buy this game. Go out and get Falcon 4 or maybe IL-2/WWII Fighters if you want a WWII sim. You will spend half as much and get a much better game!

I can't believe how bad this game is

I am a major fan of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. A predecessor to this game and I can't beleive they are in anyway related. This game is pure arcade. It has all of the realism of the old 1942 game for Nintendo. In fact it plays much like After Burner for Sega. This is definately a game that has been rushed out for the holiday season to trick people into thinking it is a true WW2 flight simulator which couldnt be farther from the truth.
I was truly excited when I first read about this game coming out and agin unfortunately I have been let down.

I Diden't like this game all that much when i got it for Christmas, played it a little and that's it, but i got into it a year later and i loved it, that was after i got into World War II Stuff, i say buy this game no matter what people say, it's an all around fun game, plus with the upgrades for completing objectives, you can get medals if you do good enough in a mission, unlock alot of aircraft such as the ME-262 and the Supermarine Spitfire, it's a great game and very fun missions, point is buy this game, it's great for any day.

WEAK!

I own many WWII flight sims. This is the weakest piece of crap of all I have ever purchased...

I hoped for a updated version of Janes WWII combat flight sim. Thinking this would be similar with better graphics, I spent 50 bucks on this and wanted to throw it away a 1/2 hour later. Its just a ages 6 and up game. What a waste of money, I'll give it to my Nephews.

Very poor game

Don't bother - worse than I ever imagined. I gave it a 1 star, only because they didn't have a 0.

Waste of money

This game is a waste of money. If you buy it, don't say I didn't warn you.

Great Fun

I have read some negative comments on this game, all I have to say to is, where's your sense of fun? This games does not pretend to be a simulator, it's an arcade action game based on WWII. I've had hours of fun with this game, sure some of the missions are hard but it's still great fun. The graphics and sound are all great. It's all done very tongue-in-cheek

If you want some fun action then give it a look.
