    I thought this game was great fun, a lot of replay value.5
    While it's not without its faults I feel the initail reviewer has been to harsh, At heart this is an arcade game, like Rougue Squadron, and the fight sequences are intense.

    It seems like hundreds of planes are in action at once, many more than in Secret Weapons and Crimson Skies, giving a sense that you are part of a much larger battle.

    There is also a large number of planes to unlock, (over thirty, maybe more), and you can go back to any previouse misison with a new plane, plus you can upgrade the planes too. All this means that I have been back to some missions multiple times just for the fun of it.

    By modern standards there is a lot of game here, and its pretty well done, some missions are a bit hard, and a bit samey, but you do get try torpedo bombing, dive bombing, rockets and high level bombing as well as the straight fighters. Some of teh planes are awesone and it all looks pretty good.

    Plus there is XBox live, but I haven't played on that too much yet.

    This is a great game5
    This is the WW2 flying game I've been waiting for. It's only about 1000 times better than Secret Weapons over Normandy, which sucked.

    Has lots of replay value, is challenging but not impossible. Has good graphics & good plane selection.

    I only wish there were more people playing it on XBox Live. It's great stuff.

    You'll look pretty...crashing into the ocean!2
    Okay, I admit I'm not a hardcore gamer. I play for fun not to be challenged. I have a day job and no longer live with my parents. So, that being said, I love the graphics and general concept behind this game but it was just too frustrating to keep at it. Let's just put it this way...it took me a week just to get through all the training missions/tutorial. Once you learn to actually fly and not crash into things, then you have to complete insanley difficult missions against enemies and all the while...manage not to crash yourself in the process. Rent it and set on "rookie" and if you do okay, may be worth plunking down the cash. It's a good balance between a purist flight sim and a bullet spewing arcade shooter style game. Regadless, too much invenstement of time/energy and not enough payout/sucess for me personally.
