New rival game

[akuma]

I was in Game Station today and I noticed a new flight sim Heros over Europe, has anyone played this? Is it any good?

The graphics aren't nearly as nice as IL2 - and the game is ARCADEY.

Arcadey as in, a LOT more arcadey than Arcade mode in IL2.

Its like blazing angels.... on acid!!


Its the sequel (i think??) to the original xbox game heros of the pacific. It wont be anywhere near as good as IL2.

[Yossarian]

Metacritic for Heroes over Europe 62%
Metacritic for IL2-BOP 80%


From OXM UK "With IL-2 asserting impressive air superiority in the last month or so, there's no reason to pick up this ropier and less satisfying interpretation of the same conflict. Technically unimpressive and snooze-inducing, it's less "chocks away" and more "chock this in the bin"

Looks like I'll be steering clear then!

it has a Slow mo ability allowing you to zoom in and target a specific area and knock it out in a single shot.

Out of the box Heroes over Europe has three strikes against it.
First; there's only a third person chase view available. No cockpit view or first person HUD view.
Second; there's no replay feature.
Thirdly (and this is the worst omission HoE has to offer); there is no flight stick support, even for the PC version, and there is no controller remapping function.

Transmission Games (formally I.R.Gurus) should change their name again, ...this time to Major Malfunction Games.
