Beautiful, but crappy arcade...

If you want some fun and a rough idea what it was like, on a big TV in HD, for £20 quid, without having to spend £300 on upgrading your PC, then it's well worth it.

This game is a bridge between console gamers and proper PC sims so don't just slag it off. It will benefit the genre, what's the problem?

We're also waiting for the sequal to drop soon, 2 years after the first one, Cliffs of Dover took 6 years to develop.. They are clearly not the same animal.

Well, I do play it as Wings of Prey on the PC in lack of a better alternative - hopefully the CloD will one day be a true "killer-simulation" (might take years, though).
That said, I bet it's funnier to play this game online than offline (most games are). And furthermore, this game has indeed graphically features, that are far superior to that of the recent CloD graphics - I would so wish, that the terrain graphics from BoP, would be implemented into CloD (without the green filter, that is).

Believe u me, on the CloD forum, they're having hot debates wether the graphics exceeds those of the CloD. Well now you all know my point of view in this matter (I lke the former - BoP that is) and this "babbling thread" might in fact just be an expression of sheer frustration (BoP being prettier than CloD).
So, I apologize for my slightly obnoxious behavior. I still don't like the gameplay of WoP (BoP), though...

we're all a bit touchy about BoP, it's a very small community.

We all appreciate the fact that we can jump into a Spitfire or whatever, and just mess about, it looks great, plays better than any other filght game on console and taps into a passion that I left behind when I got out of PC flight sims after CFS3.

At the end of the day it's about the planes, if you like WW2 aviation and own a console, it's a must have, the closest we can get.

you should ask for your money back and go away.

Why don't you try Heroes Over Europe

Hi peeps, thought id drop in and say my 2 cents..

first off all im not Single..lmao

Secondly you cannot compare a console 'sim' of which its not to a PC sim..not in any way shape or form apart from it has planes in it..and trees

I have been and indeed still are a PC simulation fan..make that ww2 simulation fan as the whole fire and forget thing with me doesnt cut it..each to their own

but

In my break from PC'n i went to consoles and untill recently have owned both for a long time purchased said game on the PS3 and i like the OP wasnt impressed..gfx were amazing, story line was Okay but thats it..only because ive been brought up enjoying my Sims...This game is not a Sim and shouldnt be compared to such...Dont go anywhere near these types of games on a console if you want a Simulation...there isnt a market for it

On the other hand this game is great if you want to just plug in sit back and kick some EA's butt wihtout all the BS that goes with it...added to to the fact i was doing it on a 44'' samsung in HD with a Pioneer 7.1 sound system though i think only 5.1 was used, the best thing unlike Cliffs of Dover which im enjoying now i didnt have to go and spend £500 on a PC and then...no wait more RAM and a complete different GFX card for when the game was actually released so i could actually play it!..

I could buy a PS3 for the same money my HD6950GFX card cost give or take..

In a nutshell..

OP you shouldnt even be buying or trying this game if you are a fan of PC sims or at least approach it with a Open mind..

Hmmm, I reckon I just scratced yor pride or hurt your innermost feelings - well I'm sorry, wasn't on purpose.
But to ask me to go away, I find insulting and blatantly...

Not only are you using profane language but you also put it in the thread title. Nice one!

And to some your opinion might be insulting as well. This game is for consoles so the "simulation aspect" you are looking for is not as the same as pc but this community thinks that Gaijin didn't a pretty damn good job of giving us the best "flight near simulation" that we have ever had on a console. It has it's downfalls but we love it.

Well, again, I cannot see, how my oppinion about this game can or should be insulting - I wasn't being personal, not at all. And in case someone was insulted, it surely can't be my fault.
Il-2 BoP and WoP for that matter, is a game and this, the proper and official forum. If not here, where else can I post my complaints about the game???

Edit: THIS IS THE CONSOL forum - I get it and will "shove it" from here on (and just to clarify why I chose to use this forum. There are no other official forum for WoP)...

There is an official developers forum for Wings of Prey, feel free to check there:
