Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Standard

From Leguardia to Malvern Mun (Small town in Arkansas), you can fly all over the united states, with a borrage of planes. This game lets you experience the Landmarks of the U.S.

You can fly as a freestyle mission or you can fly one of the missions Microsoft gives you, such as circling the Colluseum or flying from New York to Japan.

The only problem with the flights to unknown or small airports, is that the graphics and the land under you is all repetitive and dotted with little buildings, it's all the same.

Overview:

Fun- 10/10 great for you flight buffs.

Grahpics- 7/10 Awesome in well-known places, but repetitive onceyou get into the unknowns of the U.S.

Gameplay- 10/10 Just liek you're a real pilot.

Difficulty-N/A Not really any difficulty.

Overall-27/30

This game is a lot of fun to play, if you know what you're doing, but if you wamt the real combat experience, I reccomend Flight simulator: Battle for Europe.

Try this game out though.

Looks like I got to write just to see the reviews: never owned it, of course, just shopping! Stupid set up, ain't it?

forget the stars!

   Summary: HERE'S A HINT!
I want to answer a question that is on a lot of peoples mind! I have just ordered this game but have played it on school computers! Many people are dissapointed in that you can't crash on this game! Well, you can! Just go to the AIRCRAFT button on the top file bar on your screen! Go to the bottom of the menu that pops up, click REALISM & (some other word). Scroll through the provided links until you come to a place that says CRASHES or something like that. On your screen, it probably says:

IGNORE CRASHES

Unhighlight it and highlight:

RECOGNIZE CRASHES and RESTART or something like that!

Now you should be on your way to destroying the city of choice! HAPPY FLYING!

   Summary: Clear for Take-off!
I played this game at a relative's house, and I liked it so much that I want to get it for myself!

I started out just creating flights and crashing the plane (there are no crash graphics, which was a bummer for me, the plane could hit the ground with the nose, but then just pop back up and skid on it's landing gear! The planes wouldn't sink in water either!), but then I started 'learning' how to fly the plane! That was where I got hooked on the game. "Learning" how to fly was a lot of fun, it was like you were really flying with an instructor in the cockpit with you (well, it is a SIMULATOR)!

Next, the graphics are very good, and the sound effects are very realistic! The physics of flying are also great and so are the weather physics! I recommend buying this sim, but only if say you want to fly realistically. If you don't, just buy some other game (such as a fighter pilots game).
