Realistic and Addictive
The amazing graphics, high level of control, and accuracy makes this a must have flight sim game, for not only flight sim fans, but history buffs as well. Learning the controls of the aircraft takes lots of practice. Because of this, I'd keep the reference card and manual out.
The multiplayer options are incredible. Thirty two players can participate in dogfight mode, while in cooperation mode 16 can play. You can easily spend hours playing with others, and trying to perfect your understanding of the planes.
Sound cannot be easily messed up in a flight sim. But in "IL-2 Sturmovik" the sound is actually impressive. When flying German planes, the voices coming over the radio speak German, while an english translation is shown on screen.
