Wow, amazing videos. Waiting is so hard. Good thing I only have to wait one more day, should be tomorrow if Gamestop are correct in their September 2nd release date. Let's hope they are.:)

well if you look to the right on that link, it says that the 8th is the date for the US.

Yes, that seems to be the official consensus but Gamestop have it written on their website that it comes out September 2nd. I'm going to call tomorrow and hope for the best. :)

But lets not derail this thread into more release date talk. I guess I started that though, sorry!

Good review, pretty much what I excepted. I'm a bit worried about the MP strike game mode though, from what I've learned from the article.

It looks like the most fun but I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of n00bs without mics, and my team will end up with 6 bombers and only a couple of fighters. Obviously a bad combo that will end up in our inevitable defeat.

I think playing with friends or in a squad is going to be essential for that part of the game.

Now that's freakin' amazing! Doing that one on sim mode is going to be a killer. Much as I hate the lifestyle, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to stock up on hot pockets and lock the doors. It would be simply dreadful if the nazis were to win WW II due to a lack of effort on my part.

The IGN review is impressive. I'm really happy the game received an 8.6 rating. Now I plan to wear my flight goggles for the entire month of September in honor of this momentus occasion.

:cool:

Ah, didn't think about that. My wife bought me a leather bomber jacket with a fur collar from Sporty's when I got my CFI I, now I need to wear it every time I play BoP. The fact that it's usually around 105 on average this time of year in TX is irrelevant. Nazi bastards! Rommel! You magnificent son of a bitch! I read your book!

Too bad they seem to ignore IL2 on the front page - how many people will read that review?

Alright, here's my problem with the Bombs Away video (I've watched it 3 times now :P). Why can't we get someone who's not trigger happy, and won't start attacking from lower altitude. If it was me (:D) or possibly anyone else who will approach the situation tactically, they/me would have kept below the 109s, let them pass and start climbing behind them, quickly climbing above them and then coming down on them from above. That's my problem with the Bombs Away video :cool:

They're playing arcade mode though. You do not need tactical awarness when playing arcade. Might as well be playing a first person shooter on easy.

I think finding different tactics to use will add a lot of replay value to the game. I agree with you, though, the guy in the video seemed to be more Blazing Angels and less BoP. I'm wondering is there is some kind of radar aspect to the mission that was forcing him to engage that low. However, it was nice to see how the bomb sights are going to work in the game. Does anyone have any feedback on how they will work in sim mode, though? Can't see the cockpit, refuse to use the virtual cockpit.

He probably had to take out some ground targets, (Maybe). But even on the demo, I usually just pass over the He-111s, then then come back around or just fly across their formation, like the Me262s did when attacking bomber formations.

8.6 from IGN, :-D. Graphics only a 8 ? Could have been rated higher, but overall the review is written good, can´t wait to have the disk rotating in my playstation.

The only thing that sounds strange to me is the way the germans pronounce problem... right now they pronounce it the english way: Proh-blum, whereas they should actually say Proh-Blame... does this mean the german voices were voiced by a non-german?
