So have you ever wanted to feel like Tom Cruise but flying planes in the 40s well heres your game! These types of games are usually for the narrow market or flying fanatics just like hardcore sim racers are now.

As with many flying games, Birds of Steel isn't quite photo-realistic. But when you get caught up in a dog fight the last thing you'll be worried about is the slightly odd look or dimensions of the trees or buildings, unless of course you're daringly attempting to lose pursuers by flying amongst...

Birds of Steel was built for people interested in the history of aviation during World War II. That isn't to say that more casual flight enthusiasts won't have fun; my expertise stops at knowing planes need two wings to function correctly, and I was entertained.

A definite backward step from IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey, largely thanks to some truly daft design principles.

Gaijin are quickly developing a reputation for releasing games out of nowhere… for flying under the radar, as it were. They developed the PC flight sim to end all flight sims with IL-2 Sturmovik , then decided to port that to the 360 and PS3 with IL-2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey .

Great Game teaches you some history of ww 2 as well as having fun!! i would recommend it for any age.

Simply put, this is the best flying game I've ever played. After spending a good 10 hours on the same so far, here are my impressions The attention to detail in the lighting and the interior and the landscapes is of a very high quality, and the game looks terrific at all times, and also making it...

A WWII pilot simulator that boasts about how realistic it is... Wait, come back!

+ Accessible Difficulty + Staggering attention to details + Generous amount of content + Stephen Fry

- Mudane SP campaign - Lacklustre presentation - Not enough Stephen Fry

Takes flight in historical style Put me in front of a flight sim, you'll usually get possibly the most macabre black comedy of the century. I have about the same level of co-ordination as a gnat in a tumble dryer, consistently forcing locals to scrape my remains of their rooftops ten times over.

Tons to unlock; Loads of missions to undertake thanks to dynamic campaigns and mission editors; Tight and responsive controls for flying; Stephen Fry educates you through events

In game voiceovers are rather annoying; Missions can get rather dull with poor pacing; Short campaign

The issue with playing any form of flight simulator on a games console is the restriction of using a controller. True flight simulators are best played on PC's using a combination of keyboard and joystick.
