Summary: GREAT AIR WAR GAME IN MANY WAYS
Review: YOU CAN START AT THE LOWEST LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY THEN INCREASE TO A HIGHER LEVEL ONCE YOU HAVE A FEELING FOR THE GAME. IF YOU PLAY A GERMAN PILOT ALL VERBAL BRIEFINGS AND COMBAT CHATTER IS IN GERMAN, BUT YOU HAVE THIS TRANSLATED OUT IN VIDEO ON THE SCREEN. IF YOU KNOW SOME GERMAN THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO POLISH UP ON YOUR VOCABULARY WHILE HAVING FUN PLAYING THIS SIMULATION. THE GAME ALLOWS YOU TO MOVE UP IN RANK,BUT EVEN YOUR BEST EFFORTS WILL NOT CHANGE THE HISTORICAL OUTCOME.

Review: You know, its really a shame, this game could have been so much more.First of all, let's give credit where credit is due. Kudos to Microprose for even including the years 1940, to 1942 in this game. It was refreshing to get something other than the typical egocentric American view on the air war over Europe during WW2. I loved the graphics, the interface with the mouse for external views is genius, and you can spend hours admiring yourself from near or far. Sadly, if you are an aspiring "mud mover" for the Luftwaffe in the years 1940, through 1942, you are going to be a frustrated pilot, the promised targets never do appear. There isn't a moving ground target in all of merry old England. Those trucks must have stealth technology or something! On a final note, don't even attempt to play this game until you have downloaded version 1.2 from Microprose's webpage, out of the box, the so called "AI" in this game is non-existant. Nothing like flying on an intercept for 2 hours in realtime, and finally sight the enemy, only to have your flight leader declare, without attacking,"nice job everyone, let's go home", without firing a shot! Whoo Whoo..really get's the adreline flowing. After downloading the "version 1.2" patch, this seems to have been fixed, but where are those elusive Brit lorrys?

Summary: Great game! 4 1/2 stars
Review: You'll love this game even more with the alternative sound patches. My only complaint about this game is the repetitive missions in campaign mode. Yes, it may be realistic, but I think they could have changed it up a little bit.
