    Doubtless the best flight-sim ever made; startling realism, excellent graphics and addictive gameplay make for an award-winning title.
  2. The most authentic, challenging, and beautiful pre-jet age combat flight sim ever made.
  3. Forgotten Battles doesn't make the sort of huge impact that the original game did, but, despite its faults, it's generally a very worthy successor.
  4. There's no denying that "IL-2 Sturmovik" is a great sim and therefore Forgotten Battles is a great sim by extension. As a sequel, however, it's a bit underwhelming.

    By far and away the best WWII combat flight sim to date. This sim has over 150 flyable aircraft now and shows no signs of slowing. Outstanding.
