Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2: Pacific Theater

Summary: Great Game
Review: This is a very good game. The missions are good and it is cool that what you do determines your next mission. I also like it because it never gets boring, after you compleate the campaigns you can download more of them. One thing i didnt like was that somtimes the computer contolled planes crashed into each other. Another thing i didnt like was your plane exploding just because you hit somthing very light. For example lets say you are flying close to a ship and hit it with the very tip of your wing, you will explode and that is totally not realistic. But for the most part this is a good game.

Summary: probably good if you have the system
Review: this would be a good game if you have enough computer to run it. mine exceeds the minimum requirements by 3 to 5 times (size, speed, etc). When things get intense, the game stops. It can be just a flash, but it has been as much as 15 seconds. When it starts going again, everything has moved. As you can imagine, the gameplay is awful.
The problem is that Microsoft wasn't honest about how powerful your computer has to be.

Summary: Great Sim - Addicting
Review: This is a great sim especially for Pacific Theater buffs. Keyboard controls are impossible during combat. The mouse is better but I plan on getting a joystick for improved control.

Summary: Great WWII sim!
Review: This game puts you in the cockpit of one of many WWII fighter planes and lets you expereince the action for yourself. Although this game has about a 2+ hour learning curve, once you have the controls down, you will absolutely enjoy this game. The graphics, to say the least, are the most detailed and realistic of all flight sims I've played (trust me- I've played a lot). Away from the game, however, I found the 300-page "Pilot's Manual" both informative and interesting. Beyond telling you how to control a certain plane, it gives you background information and real-life pictures of the plane back in the day. I have a somewhat relation to this game, as my grandpa was a pilot in this region during the war, and I've learned so much about this area of the armed forces. I recommend this game to all that are looking for a great game and maybe even a little "hitory lesson".

Summary: Great Game, but crashed TOO often
Review: I recently bought cfs2 and was enthusiastic at first. But BEWARE! If you do not have a fast enough system, this game will crash VERY often. I have a pentium 4, but it still crashes about every 30 minutes of play times. Other than that, the game is realistic, has good planes, and is fun. Five stars WITHOUT the crashes.

Review: I have the force feed back joystick that i bought just for this game! It is worth it but I would like to see a better story and maybe more realistic crashes.

Summary: Why five stars:
Review: Combat Flight Simulater 2 is the best WW2 flight sim money can buy. It is as realistic as any game could possibly be. Trust me I have the game. For example I am sure that it was very hard to get the water to react like natural water,#2 to see a Ship sinking, and watching the fire and the ripples in the water as the ship goes down. So you gamers know as well as I do, that you won't find this type of graphic in no other flight sim, and I have many. thank you, Trust Me I Am Very Particular About The Games I Buy. If you don't have the game, buy the game,you will not regret it, believe me. Peace:

Summary: Bugs
Review: The game is really nice! Very nice graphics and scenery but the game always crashes on my computer! I had my computer for about 4 months and it is ruining my computer. I tried playing this game online with real people, and all this game does is crash when im online or playing it by myself! I uninstalled and installed it over & over again because I thought something might of happened during installation but nope. This game has many bugs for me and is very fustrating.

Summary: Great,but some minor technicalities
Review: Its a great game. The flight models are extremely realistic.Being 13 years old,Im not much of a critic,but I can name some cons.For instance,the collision aspect.No matter how gently you hit,even if you barely scrape wingtips,your aircraft explodes and your pilot with it.At least in Janes WW2 Fighters you get however much damage however much you collide.Also,your wingman are basically sitting ducks,just waiting for either you or them to get shot down.The manual claims that how well you do in a campaign determines your next mission.This is basically true,but there is still easy-to-recognize repetition.Also,you cant sink a carrier by kamikazeing like other ships.On ivincibility,Ive crashed into carriers zillions of times and not made a dent.On landing with a bunch of bombers right behind me,I have to get out of the way really fast or get plowed over,not very gratifying after a hard mission.Enemy planes are extremely easy to shoot down in campaigns.The only place theyre challenging is Ace mode in Quick Combat.Also,the ships arent very detailed.Now for the mission builder.I love it!You can put practically unlimited fighters and bombers in the sky with you(it took me three hours to shoot em all down).However,if you attempt to put European buildings there,theyll dissapear until youre three feet close to them
All in all,the game has realistic damage,good graphics,and historically accurate places.
