and makes just shooting down one enemy feel like a grand achievement. It adds propeller flutter, black outs, red outs, removes the HUD. Realistic cranks up the difficulty and adds stalls and spins. You still have to control things like landing gear though. Simplified makes it impossible to stall and the flight is pretty steady. Great stuff here if you are a sim fan! The difficulty modes give great variety for every type of player, but this game is fairly hard no matter what setting. Then you are forced to try and land the plane sans a wheel. Take a dive too fast with your landing gear out, and you may see a wheel or two rip off. The developers modeled everything down to the smallest detail. Watching pilots bail out as there plane breaks to pieces and explodes in a fireball just never gets old. Blowing a hole in their fuselage and seeing your screen go black as it coats with oil is a great touch. Being able to pick apart pieces of your enemies plane just feels right. The physics engine just really makes the combat stand out.

It really does feel like you are fighting humans in the dogfights though.

The AI is quite good, except for the occasional collision between friendlies. I could spend hours just practicing landings and stunt flying, but since this is a combat game, I will focus on that. Actually pulling off a carrier landing in a thunderstorm with high wind on simulation setting is about as difficult as anything in gaming, but man does it feel good to do. It can be a beast just trying to take off and keep your plane in the air, but to me, that is what is so rewarding. Absolutely amazing flight model and physics engine for a console game. Here is my (not so) quick rundown of the game: Gameplay: (10). It's why I don't review Barbie Horse Grooming Simulator. Why even review the game if you hate the style of game. A magazine giving this game a 3/10 just shows ignorance. The game is a SIMULATION, that is the whole point. I get so frustrated when I read reviews that mark the game down for being too 'hard'. I feel with some of the negative reviews out there, I had to help shed some positive light on this amazing game.
