Game is better and better after each patch, it's great allready, we are going better way all the time. Last patch was so good, get rid allmost all stutter. Great game and i see it become best sim out there.

Soon biggest problems is squashed away and we have worderful WW2 sim.
I'm pretty sure many big sites/magazines what reviews now game, gives it another try later and then there is positive reviews.

typical brainless we throw it to the dump "review"
sadly new comers will never look back after this kind of bleak picture,
meanwhile they won't loose their time, Toy Story 3 gets a 7, quality gaming is saved

I can't read French that good, frankly I'm quite horrible at it.

What I did understand, though, is that they gave it a 3 out of 10, which is really unfortunate. I hope one day they will review it again and conclude a better score out of it.

Bugué de partout, mal programmé, mal opti‐ misé... IL‐2 Sturmovik : Cliffs of Dover est une déception gigantesque. Il est impossible d'y voler sans des saccades délirantes qu'on ne tolérerait même pas sur un jeu en bêta‐ version. Alors oui, les cockpits sont peut‐être jolis, les modèles de vol un peu améliorés par rapport à IL‐2 Sturmovik (et encore...), mais à l'heure actuelle, le jeu est simplement injoua‐ ble. Il ne reste plus qu'à espérer qu'une (longue) série de patchs vienne corriger tout ça. En attendant, on ne peut que contempler ce gâchis avec des grands yeux pleins de larmes.

A complete bug-fest, badly programed, badly optimized... IL‐2 Sturmovik : Cliffs of Dover is a huge disappointment. It is impossible to fly without insane stuttering which one wouldn't tolerate from even a beta version. So, yes, the cockpits are perhaps lovely and the FM may have been somewhat improved compared to IL-2 (and even then...), but at the present time the game is simply unplayable. We can only hope that a (long) series of patches will correct all this. In the meantime we can only contemplate this mess with tears in our eyes.

...une déception gigantesque

For some reason, I find this phrase hugely amusing, and will probably start randomly dropping it into conversation in my best OSS 117 voice.

My friends will be confused. But of course, that's the whole point of...une déception gigantesque!
