If you've played the demo, you'll pretty much know what you're getting into with this game. The good - graphics are great, realistic damage models, varying skill levels, varied missions. Bombing missions were fun ! The bad - You can land your plane after a mission, but you can't take off before a mission. I also don't like the way you can free-look, by pressing and holding down the R3 joystick. It always slips and you revert back to the front view. Overall this game is a blast to play, and gives me a lot of respect for those pilots who flew these planes in WW2. 8.5/10
If you like history of World War 2 and also thought how it would feel like being in World War 2 this is the game for you. It takes you right in the front lines in a cop pit of a old World War 2 air plane and against the German forces in real air to air combat. The movie scenes are awesome and fun to watch and hearing the pilot talk at the end of every level as how the fight went on that day. The game could have been harder to beat but overall it is good. A must game to play and have. Thanks and waiting to the next game in this series!!!
IL-2 is a great flying game if you are looking for realism. I personally had a hard time mastering the controls, but my son who loves Flight Simulator thought it was awesome. I still enjoyed the game, but prefer to play Heroes Over The Pacific or Blazing Angels just because the controls are much easier to master. If you want a flying game that is closer to simulator than arcade, this might be the one for you.
its one of the few combat flight sims available for the ps3. graphics are great and the combat so far is great. 1 problem no flaps available to slow down for combat use in simulator or arcade so i have to use landing gear or tip up. i have not played online yet but this is comparable to the old janes ww2 combat flight games. i would recommend it to any pilot or pilot wanna be its fun. just part way thru the campaign so no total exposure to the complete game. so far i think its excellent.
Very fun game to play..was delivered fast

This is a very good computer game that has been ported to game consoles. It has to be the best WWII flight sim/ dogfighting game out there. The controls are easy to learn and the game is hard enough to make it interesting. I would recommend this game for any of my friends.
I am not a hard core flight sim player, so this game is pretty good at providing simple flying fun, easy and hard missions and cool planes to fly and shoot down.
Exceeded all expectation

seems pretty realistic, almost too realistic to have fun straight out of the box. scenery and planes look great. has a lot of learning curve flight lessons to fiddle with, since i am getting older this kind of tedium should be an option rather than the 'only' way to play, but it seems to create some kind of value, since so much time is spent doing the lessons. oh well.
