That's it, IL-2 Sturmovik is my first flight sim, so I don't have the experience nor the background to write a depth review. Instead, I can point out a few things that everyone who haven't played flight sims before (like me) should know about this game:
- IL-2 Sturmovik is a very difficult game... if you want. Because you can turn the difficulty to "easy" and go step by step till you can do everything by yourself and fly solo.
- The game features hundreds of differents planes. Plus you can easily design new skins for your favourite planes. Which leaves you with a infinite number of planes. Cool, isn't?
- You can make your own missions and scenarios. Plus you have dozens of campaign missions just ready to be played.
- While playing the game with a joystick is obviosly better, you can easily enjoy IL-2 Sturmovik with a good controller (I'm using a logitech dual action and works just fine).
- Conclusion: don't be afraid of flight sims, try this one and you may discover a great new genre.
