Having not played the other games in the series, I did not know what to expect. Having played it a few times now I am glad that it is a budget title.
The background graphics are pretty reasonable, and it is good fun doing some low level flying over the hills etc, but overall I am not impressed with the game following the very very long wait for release.
Loading time is very slow for each level, and if you crash/die, it reloads the whole level from scratch which takes ages - very frustrating when you want to just get on and play.
The controls are not too great - I guess I was hoping the controls would be more like a flight sim, although getting the extra boost by holding in the throttle in combat is a nice touch. Aiming off to allow for lead is a concept too far for this game so try not to overthink it!!
The variety of targets is good, and the AI is OK, but if you start suffering damage you cannot just break off or "bale out" to fly another day - win or die are your only options. When you have flames all around you, a parachute exit option would be nice.
Overall - pretty average - priced about right for what it is.

has anybody noticed the release dates on this game, think they started out at february 07, it was maybe sooner, if it carries on like this, it will soon be longer than the air battle over europe lasted. will it be worth the wait????
