IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946

"1946 might as well be the holy grail of WWII flight sims, a platinum anthology of everything good about no-frills airborne scrimmaging. The new material's a deal, whether you own the earlier games or not. And if you don't, 30 bucks nets you something that -- six years on -- still outclasses everything else."

"For forty bucks, you can't really go wrong here, particularly since this version of the game includes every expansion that the series has seen so far. It's a shame that there's not more US or UK content here, but that's to be expected. There's nothing here that's going to win over anyone who wasn't already a fan of the game, but for those of us who have enjoyed the series in the past, 1946 is a great excuse to box up all the old discs and stick them in the back of a closet."
