Before digging into a game that lets you control a complex machine, you’ve got to know what kind of experience you’re looking for. Do you want to be able to fiddle with every flap and check every dial on a plane’s dashboard, or just sit back and relax while whizzing around the skies and shooting stuff? Simulation games cater to the more hardcore crowd out there, for the types of people who want to put just as much effort in simply keeping the machine running as they do engaging in the challenges dictated by mission objectives. More casual players tend to be drawn to arcade style game where controls are simple and accessible, letting them instead focus almost entirely on the combat, be it dogfighting in dive bombing ground targets.

Before soaring into the game’s online modes, there’s a 14 mission campaign to plow through. The presentation here is low-budget but decent enough, with panning still images and war film serving to introduce missions set in World War II European battle theatres, from over the cliffs of Dover to the skies above Berlin. You’ll follow specific pilots through all these conflicts, their characters built through voiceover and personal histories. While at best mildly interesting, the writing tends to be snappy and voice work well done (except for the French accents
