[mar01006765]

this thread was going so nicely until dennis went on a mad one.

Considering its more of a niche title my first thought was "cool an 8".

8/10 isnt bad....


isnt bad at all!!!


actually better than i thought it would be. Regardless of how good the game is, they usually get fairly poor scores because this genre doesnt appeal to game reviewers (or the ones who seem to do the reviews for flynig games).

Im happy with 8/10, and look forward to next friday when i can fly around in the mighty hawker hurricane and shoot down some HE111's over dover.

Not going ot happen. So far the game has got a 3.5/5, and a 8/10. Anybody expecting this game to average anywhere close to 90% is simply in fantasy land.

It will average either in the low 80's or high 70's on Gamerankings.

WHAT freaking HUD/Labels??? Isn't it true that on SIM you don't have any labels and thus and VERY clean hud??? Or am i playing another game/demo??

Anyway 8/10 is a good score. Hoping for 9/10's to wake the masses (for sales to 1C)

Exactly what I was thinking - play it in sim mode if you don't want the damn icons!

Anyways, decent score, hope this game is supported with extra content/features in the future.

8 out of 10 is a good score considering...
