I am a little wary that this new game is not up to standard obtained by the old DOS based SWOTL game. After devouring all the information the SWON website had ... I am left wondering if SWON has nearly the depth as SWOTL. Will I get to: Determine what technologies are researched, which engines are built, which air frames are manufactured? If this new game is just about flying and graphics...then we might be better off keeping our 486's alive and grabbing our SWOTL floppy disks.

Commies!?

Oh yes, the game. I have played an early build and is is very well done. The graphics are satisfactory at best, but the sound, mutiplay, and control easily make up for that. A rental for most, but if you are a fan of the old Secret-Weapons games or TIE Fighter, this is a must have.

Just OK could have been so much better

Rent this game first before you buy. I purchased and played all the way through and was greatly dissapointed. Nothing like the original Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe not even close. If you play Crimson Skies then try this game you will know that this game is subpar by todays standards. I finished the game and sold as quickly as possible. The reason is i knew after playing this game it has terrible graphics and the missions are rediculously easy. This game price will drop when most find out how bad it really is, just wait and get your copy cheap but do yourself a huge favor and rent it first and only buy if you can get it cheaper than renting.

Take a history class before they write a review!!!

At what point during WWII did we fight the "commies"? The answer is never. We were at war with, Germany, Italy,and Japan, none of which are "commies". We were allies with the Soviet Republic, or better known in some circles as the "commies".

By the way the game looks really cool!

not as good as i could have been

I got this game on friday and i beat it int 4 days. The missions in this game are nothing out of the normal. Destroy this, protect that. They had a wide variety of airplanes but in the end they all seemed the same. There wasn't any great difference between most of them. I bought this game looking for a game like Ace Combat 4 and it was nothing like it. It's sort of your twisted metal type of game but with airplanes. The graphcs aren't too shabby, but there not that great either. There was a couple of times where my airplane got stuck in the ground or it didn't respond at all. The most frustating thing is when you try to land your aircraft and it won't let you even thought your on the landing strip and you then crash. That really upset me. That happen quite often actually. As for the end of the game? it's like one of those movies that just end so they can create a sequel. But overall i would recommend playing it. It was fun all thing's considered

Neat idea

This is a decent game with decent graphics and sound etc. Flying games that I've played all seem to lack that certain thing. This one isn't much different. It makes a nice try and is a fair game. I would reccomend renting for now and pick it up when its under $20.

Looks great and much fun!

I heard that this is not a flight sims game that you all seemed to think. This is more of an action fun game designed for the console rather than the more intense flight sims that's from this company. I find the graphics impressive looking and very detail oriented and easier to play for beginning gamers like me. I'm so hooked. I think you would enjoy this more if you know what the game is intended to do from the sites below. Try out the demo and see for yourself!

Yes, if you want some honest advice, here It is "DO not buy this game". I bought it 2 hours ago and i played it for about 5 minutes and i am done with it i will returned it tomorrow.

The graphics in this game are horrible. It looks like te old play station or nintendo 64. I believe that says it all. It's your choice, but in the event you decide to buy it you will want to return it the same day.

Buy Crimson Skies instead.....

This game does not meet usual Lucasarts standards. This game would have been great about 10 years ago, but with todays technology it is way below standard. You fly these WWII planes, but the planes do not move around, it seems as if the screen is rotating around and the planes are stationary. The graphics are sub-par, and the controls are not that great. If you want a flying game buy Crimson Skies instead. The difference between those two are like night and day.
