The Bottom Line: Recommended for those that love flight simulators and/or first person shooters.

Review: The Allied Command is disturbed by the heavy movement of German troops on the Western Front. The Sherman tanks are in a deadlock with the German Panzers. Can one man make a difference, can you turn the tide of the battle? You have been ordered to lead ...

Pros: Excellent gameplay, great graphics, realistic planes and physics, interesting plot.

Cons: Graphics errors, complicated gameplay, complicated controls, lack of training, demanding system requirements.

Review: I recently got into combat flight simulation games when I downloaded the free "retired" Fighter Ace from Jaleco Entertainment, which featured extensive controls and a wide variety of airplanes from torpedo bombers to jet fighters like the Me262. But ...

Pros: It is cheaper than Microsoft Flight Sim. Has plenty of aircraft to try.

Cons: The graphics are horrible. The flight dynamics are horrible.

The Bottom Line: Do not purchase Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator Battle for Europe. It is clear that they just rushed this into production without caring about the quality.

Review: I had a horrible time with this game. It is that simple. I have been a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 addict for about 2 years now. I have purchased many add ons for FS9 I can't say enough great things about it. So after seeing some adds for it, I ...

Pros: Good graphics, lots of planes to fly.

Cons: Training missions don't teach anything at all.
