Birds of Prey reviews

Lord-Tuinboy · #1 09-02-2009, 08:47 AM

One very worrying thing that I've noticed is that I've seen alot of comments on the internet from people who don't know the game who won't be getting it simply because they couldn't get the controls to work with the gamepad in realistic or sim mode !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a shame seeing as the moment you turn down the sensitivity the entire game changes and becomes so much fun. But now the they've tried the demo and can't play it and think they need a flightstick if they wan't to play it on any other mode than arcade.

Nice review there.
IL2's now the the main headline on metacritics "new releases" on 360 and getting a more than respectable score

Nothing more to say :

"IL-2 Sturmovik was already the greatest combat flight sim ever made, and Birds of Prey makes it prettier and more manageable without losing what makes Sturmovik... Sturmovik. Even with a handful of unfortunate omissions it's the best air combat game we've ever got to grips with, and the best possible start to a franchise which deserves by rights to be as long-lived on console as it is on PC."

It was just a dream for me to see IL2 one day on a console...this dream come true ! Thank you so much for that !

CVG Review :

"You'll pound your enemies with hundreds of bullets before you realise that 'Realistic' means realistic - bulletholes in an empty fuselage will do nothing but give the pilot air conditioning"

Hahaha, just love the way he wrote this review

Hopefully we will see a sequel later on.
