New rival game

[sir70]

I unfortunately got this yesterday.
Good points,
1. The artwork is top notch, menus and cutscenes- the graphic artists did an excellent job here.
2. The graphics are very good, the ground detail seems slightly better than il-2 although the color palate me be less realistic.

Unfortunately,
1. The 3rd person view is nauseating, the point of view shifts around behind the aircraft and the crosshair moves slightly around the screen.
2. No Radar.
3. No free look. You get a button for rear view or you can hit select button and pan around while flying in a straight line.


Thats about all I could find , I only flew 2 missons the stopped playing when I
was required to shoot mines out of the path of friendly vessels.

Apparently the upper management decided to ship an unfinished game.

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.

what ticks me off is te fact that this game is region free, 1c publishing should take note at that, make asian 360 version NAO PLZ KTNX!

Rival is not even a fair assessment; I am a fan of the original Heroes of the Pacific, and this sequel is a completely stripped down, bare bones experience compared to the original.

IL-2 is a much more satisfying an experience.
Mind you, I have been looking forward to Heroes for a couple years now. When I saw the previews for IL-2, I was psyched to know that I would be getting 2 awesome flight games for the 360.

Only problem is, one game lived up to my expectations.....and it isn't Heroes.

I give IL-2 a 9.5/10
Hoe = 6.7/10

If you can't resist, just rent HOE. I am sad to say it, but the truth is the truth.

That's too bad. I thought HoE would be better than that.

Thanks for the heads up.

IL-2 is the only good console flight sim. Everything else is arcadey (which is fine if that's your cup of tea) or garbage. This game is really all that's needed though, as it has sim and arcade control options.
