"A lot of action not realistic; i got bored quickly"
Version: Combat Wings: Pacific Heroes 1
Pros
The game provides a lot of action.
There is variation in planes (fighters and bombers) and missions (air tot air combat, protecting bombers and ships, bombing targets.Cons
Both flying and fighting are not realistic.
Missions do not change depending on results.
The level (easy-medium-hard) simply makes enemies stronger and yourself weaker in stead of making the enemies better pilotsSummary
Realism: planes hardly reduce speed if you pull up. Shooting can be directed, in stead of firing straight ahead (as planes did in WWII). Dog fighting (the most common mission) is reduced to circling around each other and shooting a (impossible) angles. Reducing speed makes it easier to kill the enemies, while in realastic combat speed is a benefit.
Missions: you either fail the mission (try again) or go on to the next. Sometimes to destroy a ship for the second time.
At easy level the game is too simple, at hard level some missions are absolutely impossible. After you've played the game at medium for a few times, it gets boring. I've had some fun, but i wouldn't buy it again. -

"Didn't even get to try it out"
Version: Combat Wings: Pacific Heroes 1
Pros
Sounded very interesting - but the download issue made writing this review short.
Cons
Basically, it looked fun, but when it started downloading, it set off my spyware alarm - maybe I'll review it after they fix it....
