Summary: Finally a flight game that you can PLAY!
Review: After trying countless flight sims and finding most essentially unplayable, we now finally have a game everyone can play and enjoy. This game is one of my favorite games I have purchased for the Xbox. I am a big WWII fan and the attention to details here are fantastic so accuracy is not lost over gameplay...there is a very fine balance here which I appreciate.I've played thru 7 missions (total of 30) and I have to tell you I am totally hooked. I've flown Hurricanes, Spitfires, ME109's, P-38's, Swordfish, Ju-88's and Wildcats so far. This game is just amazing. I highly recommend it and to me it is the sleeper hit of this holiday seaso.

Summary: Very poor game
Review: Don't bother - worse than I ever imagined. I gave it a 1 star, only because they didn't have a 0.

Summary: This game looked promising until I played it!
Review: First let me say from a serious flight sim fan, this game sucks! Now, if I was someone who just wanted to shoot things and didn't care about the realism aspect, maybe I would be satisfied. I don't actually own the game, I own a demo of the game, but from what I've seen so far I wouldn't buy the game. I wouldn't even play the game if it was given to me because again, it sucks! Sure the graphics are O.K. but it takes a pretty high-end system to render them, I've got a AMD 2400 w/ 2.0 Gigs & a GeForce 4 w/ 256 RAM & I still had to turn the graphic settings almost all the way down just to get a fairly decent & playable speed out of the game. But even if the game played well I would still be dissapointed at the flight model & overall flight dynamics of the game. Coming from someone who respects the companies out there that put so much work into thier flight sims and come out with a product like Falcon 4.0 & the Janes series, & still charge half as much as this one does, I'm very dissapointed in the Lucas Arts Company for even marketing this one as a flight sim. This game feels more like your flying one of the Star Wars Fighters! If you like flight sims and are picky like me about realism, then don't buy this game. Go out and get Falcon 4 or maybe IL-2/WWII Fighters if you want a WWII sim. You will spend half as much and get a much better game!

Summary: NOT A SIM! IT'S AN ACTION GAME!
Review: HEY! All you SIM-Heads! This is not a sim. "SWON is an air combat action game following in the tradition of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe series. Like those titles,SWON is strongly focused on action."- from the LucasArts Secret Weapons over Normandy official web site.
If you're a heavy sim player, you probably will not like this GAME. I've seen a couple of poor reviews citing poor realism or flight dynamics. IT'S A GAME! IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE REALISM! LucasArts focused on historic accuracy AND fun. If you like action games without bothersome "flight models" and reality (I turn reality off in CFS1,3 and other of my sims)then you may like this game.
Hey sim-heads, lighten up.

Summary: Let Down
Review: I am a huge fan of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. This game was a huge disappointment. I would have preferred a scaling back of all the bells and whistles if it meant that SWON were truly a follow up to SWOTL. I wish there was a game out there that really brought back the fun of SWOTL.

Summary: I can't believe how bad this game is
Review: I am a major fan of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. A predecessor to this game and I can't beleive they are in anyway related. This game is pure arcade. It has all of the realism of the old 1942 game for Nintendo. In fact it plays much like After Burner for Sega. This is definately a game that has been rushed out for the holiday season to trick people into thinking it is a true WW2 flight simulator which couldnt be farther from the truth.
I was truly excited when I first read about this game coming out and agin unfortunately I have been let down.

Summary: looks impressive and very fun!
Review: I heard that this is not a flight sims game that you all seemed to think. This is more of an action fun game designed for the console rather than the more intense flight sims that's from this company. I find the graphics impressive looking and very detail oriented and easier to play for beginning gamers like me. I'm so hooked. I think you would enjoy this more if you know what the game is intended to do from the sites below. Don't take my word for it. Try out the demo and see for yourself!

Summary: Let Down!
Review: I hoped for a updated version of Janes WWII combat flight sim. Thinking this would be similar with better graphics, I spent 50 bucks on this and wanted to throw it away a 1/2 hour later. Its just a ages 6 and up game. What a waste of money, I'll give it to my Nephews.
