Flight Simulator X

"No, it's not the significant leap 2004's Century of Flight was, and performance -- usually unworthy of mention -- is the big sinker here. Otherwise, Flight Sim X is a solid, if not quite spectacular, tenth iteration."

"FSX is the finest non-combat flight-sim money can buy assuming you've got the sort of cutting-edge system that can do it justice."

"Microsoft's Flight Simulator X provides a mind-boggling level of depth and breadth--if you don't mind some less than stellar frame rates."

"Flight Simulator X is definitely a game to that knows its strengths and plays to them quite well, but this time out they've definitely improved quite a bit. Unfortunately, due to the hardware requirements of the title it might not be an option to some of those out there with an interest in playing it."

"One of the coolest new additions (at least to a avaiation layman like myself) was the effort put into the sound of the aircraft. Those that don't have up or downstairs neighbors or sleeping children will be able to turn their speakers up, put on some nice headset headphones with a mic, and feel like their in the cockpit of whatever plane type they're in from the vibration and rumbling engine noise sent from the speakers in front of them and chitchat from the headphones. While not something that sounds particularly exciting, from our experience, it certainly added to the fun and realism."
