"A great followup to IL-2 FB"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game whether installed as standalone or an upgrade to IL-2 FB is awesome in anyone's books. The addition of folding wings, opening canopies and the landing hook on some carrier-born planes really adds to the depth of the game.

With this game you can partake in some of the most impressive battles of the pacific theatre including Midway and Pearl Harbour.

The only downside i've found is unless you own a very high end video card like the GF 6800 you can kiss those pretty water effects goodby. However overall this doesn't effect the gameplay or the appeal of the game, it's still well worth buying in my books.

"Ubi does it again !"
5 stars"

A great follow up to IL2 Forgotten Battles. If you install as a stand alone game you'll be missing out. It's best to install it as an add-on to FB AEP if you plan on flying online, which is how it is mean to be done. Most current FB onliners have already upgraded to this game addon. You'll need a pretty decent graphics card, FX9000 series or ATI 9800XT , 1 gig of ram, and a decent processor of 2.6gHz, to get the most out of the game and its graphics.

The flight sim is very simular to IL2 FB with minor tweaks. It absolutely blows M/S Combat sim away as did IL-2. On line via Ubi's server or Hyperlobby is a must, and so is a broadband connection of 256k or higher. There you will fly with people around the world. This isn't the best game for absolute beginners but we all have to start somewhere. The flight sim is tough and so is the arial combat.

As with FB new plane skins are available for download which enhances the games visual effects. Damage effects and plane modeling are slightly adjusted to IL-2 FB.
