I can’t believe how bad this game is. If you buy it don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I read as many reviews of this game as I could find. Most described it as “arcade like”. That is an understatement.
Now I have been playing Lucas games since the days of Battlehawks 1942 (circa 1988) and Their Finest Hour (circa 1990). They were really fun to play and they were as realistic as could be reasonably expected at the time. SWON is neither. The flight dynamics are laughable. I know it wasn’t made to be a flight sim. But how Lucas Arts could honestly put their name on such an inferior product is shameful. They have so much experience creating flight-based games that this acts like something that could pre-date Intelivision. If it weren’t for the graphics this game would be almost worthless.
I do wish to commend Lucas for the narrator and the music. Fantastic! The combination does give the player a History Channel feel of the game. Unfortunately the game gets silly after that. The main character, Chase, is so busy bad-mouthing his flight instructor you wonder if he will turn coat and start fighting for the Germans. The dialog seems to have been written by a teenager with some kind of complex. The in-flight dialog isn’t as bad but I found myself too busy trying to figure out the flight dynamics (or lack thereof) to really listen to it.
I have only played the game through a couple of missions. So far, it’s about 3 hours worth. It’s a shame Lucas Arts didn’t take this to the level I know they can achieve. It could have rivaled MSCFS for players that don’t want a full flight sim but want the feeling of flying combat. Perhaps Lucas should just stick with Star Wars where they can get away with make believe flight dynamics. How I yearn for a game that can rival Ace Combat 4. I was hoping Lucas wouldn’t let me down. Alas…

Awesome Game, and it teaches the Real History of WWII.

I own approximately 20 ps2 games and I’ve never written a review before. This game was so bad and I was so infuriated at how terrible it was that I felt a civic duty to inform buyers to beware. The creators of this game must have never seen or played some of the more professional titles or their budget was so low that they couldn’t afford the proper programmers to get the job done. I deem AC4 as the benchmark for flight simulation games and if it is a ten on a scale of one to ten then this title deserves a zero. I’m stunned at how many positive reviews this title received…..These players must be brain dead or else they work for the company that produced this garbage. The fact that it just came out and you can buy it new for $26 tells you a lot right there. You better rent it first rather than following the advice of your peers as this is a leming accident waiting to happen. (Whew, I feel much better now!)
