Summary: Fly, Baby Fly
Review: flight simulator 2002 is a fantastic game with great features and scenery. When I first got this game I found it quite hard in the fog or thunder clouds but after going to tuturial mode helped me a lot. Another thing that I liked about it is the sound and looks of the planes.

Summary: Not fun
Review: Flight Simulator 2002 is a good game but when you fly the planes you do nothing. You just end up crashing because theres nothing to do in the game. One plane wont even get off the ground. I dont know why they put that plane in the game.

Summary: Great graphics and real time flying
Review: Flight Simulator 2002 is the best thing to being real. Now if the paint on the outside of the airplane would say the real companies like Delta, Southwest, United and American, that would even better.The best teacher in pilot traning is in here. There are real time graphics. My favorite is Las Vegas, you can see all of the casinos like Luxor, MGM Grand and the one that you see first from the skies... Statosphere. There are real time graphics and airplanes which makes it really good.
All airports are here even small ones like military bases and cargo fields that have only 1 a small runways to airports with more than 4 runways like Chicago O'Hare. They pack all this in one box of 3 CD's.
One bad thing about this game is the long load times even when you have a great computer... Still long load times. But this does't take the fun out of the game. Great game but it costs an arm and a leg to buy it, I think it is worth it.

Summary: A 3-D model of the entire Earth's surface
Review: FS2002 is a great flight simulator. It has airports from all over the globe, including many third-world countries. The cities are rendered beautifully, and the lighting effects are true-to-life. The real-world downloadable weather feature is fairly accurate, but the visibility/ fog effects could use some work. It is possible to crash into other aircraft, but you must toggle that setting through the realism settings menu. When the weather is activated and you fly over New York City, the game does slow down somewhat. If you are interested in flying simulators, this is the one to get. Many landmarks, especially in the US, Europe and Japan have been included in the program, and the US cities, as well as London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Berlin and Moscow are accurately modeled. My only problems with the sim are the bad fog and visibility effects, and the fact that rivers do not match the bottoms of the valleys in some landscapes. The lake and river glitches from FS 2000 have been fixed, however. A very good flight simulator, even though it's from Microsoft.

Summary: Just Ordered 2004
Review: Great program, but I am looking forward to the dual monitor support in the 2004 version. Definitely plan on getting something to fly your plane with besides the keyboard. It is hard to beat at this price. (...)

Summary: flight sim
Review: I got flight fs2002 in december and i sill play it 2 times a day. The visuals are the same as real life. There are more planes then fs2000 and now washington dc is in the game. there are over 21,000 airports to choose from and if u just got the game u can set it to easy mode so u don't crash. Also there is on-line and network gaming so u can play with the friends who have fs2002. Now u can talk with the airports with the air traffic controler feature. There are a lot of flight lessons u can use to get started. Also there is one plane that microsoft don't tell u about, and i works just like the others. Over all flight simulator 2002 is the best flight sim you can get.

Summary: Excellent Rebate turnaround
Review: I must say, short of Circuit City rebates, this is the fastest rebate I have ever seen - check received within a month of posting the rebate. Seems like other buyers have had similar experience with rebates directly from Microsoft.
Although Amazon does not provide the $20 rebate form, download it from Microsoft website, print both the front and rear sides on the same piece of paper - it works. Just a warning though, the forms is maddeningly small. I thus included another normal paper with the same information written in normal size.
This review is mainly about the rebate. The product itself is one of the best in its class but I have not tested it exhaustively yet. I have upgraded from Flight Simulator 2000, which was good - this one is even better for the limited things that I have tried so far.

Summary: Clear for Take-off!
Review: I played this game at a relative's house, and I liked it so much that I want to get it for myself!I started out just creating flights and crashing the plane (there are no crash graphics, which was a bummer for me, the plane could hit the ground with the nose, but then just pop back up and skid on it's landing gear! The planes wouldn't sink in water either!), but then I started 'learning' how to fly the plane! That was where I got hooked on the game. "Learning" how to fly was a lot of fun, it was like you were really flying with an instructor in the cockpit with you (well, it is a SIMULATOR)! Next, the graphics are very good, and the sound effects are very realistic! The physics of flying are also great and so are the weather physics! I recommend buying this sim, but only if say you want to fly realistically. If you don't, just buy some other game (such as a fighter pilots game).

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I recently purchased this as an upgrade from FS2000 what an improvment! The graphics are much better (except in the cockpit for some reason all of the walls are grainy). I love the ATC function. Wonderful game. Highly recommended.

Summary: If you like Just flying its Good !
Review: I recieved Flight Simulator as a X-Mas gift . I installed it on my Pentium III 750MHZ 256SDRAM O/S Windows Me ATI RADEON 32MB Graphics PCI. It has never crashed my system yet , Iam confused with these reviews by people with Pentium 4 1.8 Gig systems with a ton of RAM saying that it crashes their system, they must not have something configured correctly. I gave the Simulator 4 stars because I believe it lives up to what it claims to be a good simulator with great graphics. My cons are the amount of hard drive space it takes up aprx. 1.6 gigs on my system with full install and if you just like to fly Iam sure you will love this simulator . I have a need for more action in a PC Game and find this one rather boring . If it wasnt for those 2 negatives, I probably would have given it 5 stars.
