THE GOOD:
Endless fun even if you don't get past the quick start missions! A decent graphics card and processor help but ran fine on a P3 450mhz with voodoo3 dfx card

THE BAD:
Fiddly to set up, particularly if you want to play straight out of the box. Ensure you have the latest drivers and it shouldn't be a problem. No online gaming but still a lot of fun

SUMMARY:
Not quite as much fun as IL2 but I haven't yet tired of this in over 18months. If your card supports Aureal 3D click this option in the sound menu as really does make a diference. Also a decent flight stick helps, programme the hat switches to make the most of the views. A fine simulator and well worth a go. As I say may not start first time but once drivers updated worked fine. Also look out for any patches. Oh, and read the manual -- it helps. It may have dropped in price since release so time to go and get a bargain

THE GOOD:
the sim is pretty well and it's pretty realistic. The game can be pretty fun if you have a good computer with a good procesor,sound card and video card.

THE BAD:
the view messes up and you can't even see things, that makes it really frustrating and a messed up game. the game also makes it really hard to use AI because they're stupid. they are like programed drones that are blind to the out side view. For example on tak offs, if you change the direction manueally then switch back to AI it would not go back and change what you did but istead they just keep on going and they will do so even if there's some thing bloking and crash and ruin your day!

SUMMARY:
don't wast time trying it out!!!

THE BAD:
can't make it run and support is the pits

SUMMARY:
Can't even get this to run. Perhaps a driver problem, although it is rates ad tested on my video and audio cards. The support/trouble-shooting out of Hasbro is the worst I have ever seen. This dog goes back to the store for a refund!
