Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3: Battle for Europe review:
3 stars (Looks fun but it's not.) - The controls are really frigid and it's not very fun. It's so realistic that it's boring. The game will let you fly in virtual reality for hours before reaching a target just as a real fighter pilot would have done except there is a warp feature which will cut the time down. You will still run out of fuel lots of times before you figure out what speeds are appropriate. It's a very complicated game and is not really very fun. There must be better flight simulation games than this. I gave it a 1 on the fun scale, but overall it's a well designed game and is the most realistic I've ever played. If the graphics were better I would have rated it as a 4 overall.
4 stars (Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3) - First of all I would like all those concerned to know that this game runs perfectly on WINDOWS XP!! 1.( Selective Startup)2.(Shuting down your Firewalls and Antivirus)3.(Disk cleanup Disk Defrag.)You have to educate yourself on all the little tricks that help the game run.
Also don't foget to install any patches that are available for the game, they make a world of difference.You can't just put the game in without the proper preparation and expect it to run flawlessly.My computer,Windows XP Home Edition,Dimension 3000,Pentium 4,(3GHZ),512MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHZ,80GB Hard Drive, Intel video driver 82865G.Nothing Special!!!!!
The game is GREAT and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
1 stars (Stiffed) - Don't buy it.
We own a new Sony VAIO with a 2 Gig processor and 500 Gig hard drive, and the game won't run. Tried all the MS online fixes and recommendations...and the opening video plays...and the screen locks. I also own FS 2000 and Combat FS on this machine...which both work fine. The MS online help is available for a price that equals the cost of the game. Look, I'm probably commiting Operator Error and I'm not aware of the fix. So be it. After two days of this nonsense, this game has exceeded my interest level |
