Guide Review - "Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3"
The graphical improvements are incredible. However, you will need a top-notch computer to fully enjoy the graphics. This time around the focus was on improving the ground. Odd for a game that mostly takes place in the sky.
An interesting and frustrating feature is your performance doesn't always affect the outcome. War is a team effort, making this a realistic feature. However, it is frustrating to do your best and still lose the battle, because of the computer's performance.
A nice upgrade for previous owners, while newbies will appreciate overall gameplay.
