Heroes Over Europe?
 

What can I say, I messed up.

I left my PS3 BOP disc in a hotelroom a few thousand kilometers away, and I'm counting the hours to get it back.

Living on a small island, there's just one shop which currently doesn't have the game. But they have, I discovered, a copy of HOE.

Could this be a quick fix for my flying addiction until I have my BOP back?

What to do?

I haven't played it, nor do I plan to play it. But I'm not really sure if it could be. I mean, I think it's only Arcade based, (not even a realistic?) so don't expect anything close to BoP physics wise.

Though remember, I haven't played it so I can't really judge it besides the fact it's not really a SIM or anything like that. Plus, we once had a terrible person (HIS NAME WILL NOT BE SAID GUYS WHO REMEMBER, OK!) and he was obsessed with HOE, or something like that.

On a positive note, you could play it. Compare it to BoP, but I'm afraid that might just make you long to play BoP even sooner? So it's up to your gut to decide.

I hear that game is pretty bad. Only Dennis would buy it at full price. Id only buy it if it was free.

....WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THE NAME!! *tears up before suicide*

Opppps lol Sorry too late now.

Chear up man. Remember how funny he was when he was being serious.
Sigh... Too bad he had to die. :grin:

lol Yeah, it's a damn shame he died. Well, now he's off alone somewhere that I don't know about....... GOOD!! :grin:

i have this game... only because i had the first one; Heros over the Pacific... first one was very good and sucked me right in... but Europe... i finished it in just a few days and i can't fly worth spit.

I bought HOE for £15. It wasn't really worth that. If it's less than £10 i would get it just for a new game to play. It has some nice graphics and flying in mountain canyons quite good but at end of the day it's a fiat punto compared to BOP Ferrari

Okay guys, thanks a lot for your comments.

I've made up my mind. I'll sit it out, hope the disc will arrive sooner than later.

You all just brought back the awful memories of Blazing Angels which I could only endure for about half an hour.

Thank the lord for BOP!

This is all you need to know about it, from a Devout Heroes of the Pacific fan.

I bought it on day one, and returned it on day two back to Gamestop.

The original publisher went belly up, so the funds for the game went belly up, and the resulting product is unfinished.

It looks WORSE than Heroes of the pacific, graphics wise.

I would actually recommend Blazing Angels 2 before HOE.

HOE is, for me, the most disappointing game of this generation.:(

I saw it in the local Game Station during the week for £4.99.... it looked like game aimed more at school kids than serious dogfighters.

The type of moron who thinks that MW2 is better than Operation Flashpoint, mainly because they suck at the latter.

The only decent console games with accurate flying and dogfighting simulation are Battle Stations Midway, Battle Stations Pacific and IL-2 Stormovik - Birds Of Prey.

Ironically, bother come from former Warsaw Pact counries, namely Russian and Hungary. It doesn't seem that we NATO counyries can write a decent flight simulator for consoles yet.

If it was called unicorns over Europe THAT would be a different story!

hello my bud
i have hoe but i played just once and in my opinion it is not a good game:only arcade,the moves of the planes are not as realistics as in bop,
following camera is very bad...bop is tousands better than hoe,just the story of the solo mode in hoe is really fun but that is all,in fact hoe is an arcade game (as blazing angels but blazing angels is really good in my opinion but only the first not blazing angels 2 secret missions of ww2 which is bad in my opinion)
macademic my friend hope see u soon in the skies ,really sorry for u,hope u will be with us for the future battles,great honor to fly with u bud ace

see u soon bud

I got my PS3 in May 2009. Consider to buy both BA and HOE but after a short look at screenshots and gamemodes I decided to wait until BoP came in september. I gor it from the shop late October and have been in love ever since :-P
I am very glad I waited..........

Hoe is not in the same class as il2, solely arcade with an auto aim.... sigh. Many of you will not know that the prevailing clan in ps3 hoe and their tactics which include Team playing in dogfight modes, score boosting, bullying of any players they find threatening.
So for me Graphics Gameplay and Community make il2 a far superior game, and i only play arcade supposedly hoes strong suit lol

tis a shame because, heroes over the pacific on the xbox was great!

BoP's arcade mode is miles better than HoE.

HOE has some weird bullet time too. Not sure what thats about

+999999999

relax, nothing happened in the battle for europe today. We just worked on unlocking our b-17's and strike practice.

i was going to get hoe but that put me off it (and it was a selling feature)
hotp was the best game around till bop (and hotp made me find my dream home wake island which is now a neuclear testing range damn us army)
