Awesome game!
This game is pretty much perfect for me. As an avid player of the PC series, this improves on it in nearly every aspect. From graphics, to gameplay, to sound, to accessibility...I mean, it's just SUCH a job well-done.
To anyone on the fence about buying it, you need to know that unless you're playing Arcade mode, a flightstick of some kind is HIGHLY recommended. The Av8tor is something like 40 bucks, and makes a world of difference and opens up the game to a whole new level. I myself have the Ace Edge, and although it was designed for giant hands and the rudder is too sensitive, it's great.
My only complaints are the lack of German cockpits for multiplayer, but I hear that's being added in DLC later on. When that IS added, it'd be great to see a search function for online play that limits it to cockpits only. But those are pretty small gripes when you put the whole thing into perspective. An actual flight SIM on console?! Amazing.
Yay. Yay. And finally, yay.
Oh. And a brake button for landing for those of us with flight sticks. Maybe a proper button-mapping feature?
