Yesterday I put the IL-2 BoP disc into my PS3 and started up a training mission. I thought to myself... Holy Crap!! I can't believe I'm flying in cockpit view in my LA-5 shooting down Bf-110s over Stalingrad on my console!!! AMAZING!!

Thank you Anton and the whole team that brought this great WW2 flight game to the console people!! Let's all give thanks...

Here's hoping for some cool DLC and another WW2 sequel to come...

What he said

I have flown IL-2 for years on my PC. Never thought for one minute that this would ever come to a next-gen HD console and be this good.

All those who have had the experience of IL-2 on their PC will know it was never plain sailing. Getting your system just right, tweaking, upgrading, this driver, that driver, more tweaking, trying to eliminate the dreaded micro-stutter. Is it Water 2 or Water 3? Why is Perfect greyed out? etc, etc.

Birds of Prey out of the box is just a joy. Beautiful graphics, fantastic sound, stirring music, Joss Ackland and just-one-more-go addictiveness.

Guys it's pretty much spot on. The patch will make it even better.
I extend my thanks

Aye, it's a great game. I've been playing flying games since my ZX Spectrum days in the early 1980's

I really enjoy playing IL2-BOP. It is the BEST flying game to have come out on ANY system for years and EVAR!!!! on a console. To play a game like this on a 46inch HDTV is my ultimate gaming experience. Well done, you guys did a great job, I hope it sells very well, and I look forward to your next game

Honestly, thank you guys. As a former pilot that never had a computer that would really let me compete, a console game like this is a great gift. Good job. Keep up the good work.

While I'm not going to be able to pick the game up until tomorrow on my way home because of delays where I'm from, I must have played through the demo 10 times already. Here's my pre-thanks to Anton and the crew for developing such an great game, and getting me into flight sims. I can't believe what I've been missing.
