    There are some interesting touches that sets this game apart from other flight games released on our platform. One is the awesome degree of control and precision you have using a game pad. I don’t own a flight stick and played “native”, and still it felt right. Another outstanding feature is the suite of multiplayer modes. This game is packed to the gills with online modes. Rather than one or two of them being great and the rest being throwaway modes, it’s pretty much all good online here. There are dogfight modes and mission style modes, and there’s a real difference to how each plane responds in combat. This will keep me playing online with the large amount of available planes for ages.… Expand

    Being that you can play this game as any one of 3 legendary WWII fighter plane heroes, the name is very fitting. I’ve already played through once using one of the heroes, but the game is super fun and is worth playing again. I may even go for all 3 heroes eventually. The fighting is hard core, the missions are a blast, and the online games are wicked. I can’t recall ever having as much fun online with any other flight game. This is a great game worth your time, but if you’ve played Heroes over the Pacific, you already knew it would be.… Expand

    WOOOOOHAAAAA!! This game is a straight up rush! I can’t stop playing. I’m almost done with the story mode, but it may take a while. I’ve become addicted to the online play! I haven’t touched story mode since I first tried the game online, but I’ve got to pull myself away and finish at some point. The game is too good to be left unfinished. But jeez, it is SO HARD to rip myself away from the online mode. My friends and I are having a screaming, laughing good time.… Expand

    Beyond all of the pretty glitter presented in this game is a deeper experience. Sure, the action can be brutal and almost savage (WWII air combat is a much more up close and personal, and more visceral experience than locking onto a target that is 2 miles away like modern air combat). But you can also make great use of cloud cover, enemy contrails, even the position of the sun, for some deeper strategizing and surprise attacks. The dive bombing is cool, I’ve even used the maneuver for evasive purposes to great effect. The story itself is well written and entertaining, adding a nice cap to an already great action game. Overall this is one great game.… Expand

    Do not pass this up. If you do, you’ll miss the best attempt yet at a meaty air combat game on a console. Though not perfected yet, Heroes over Europe takes air combat to the next level for console play. Console junkies no longer have to feel like they are settling for a second rate game just because they would rather play on the couch than at the computer desk. Our day is here lads! To the air!

    in this game you have about three things to keep in mind. 1: you're going to get distracted by how BEAUTIFUL everything is. 2: you're going to get pissed off because the game is HARD and you're going to see dudes flying in and out of your screen, like in real life, and you can't just press some magical button and make it all OK. and 3: the better you get, the better the game gets. all in all, it's a bad ass experience and i highly recommend it to anyone who is into flight sims and even people who have never touched one.… Expand

    Heroes Over Europe--sequel to Heroes Over the Pacific--offers armchair aces yet another reason to climb back into the cockpit, provided you already have a love for the genre. [Sept 2009, p.84]

    Strange missteps abound in Heroes Over Europe, but glimmers of fun WWII arcade flight shooting shine through from time to time. [Oct 2009, p.90]

    For those not fussed with the simulation scene, or want a good compromise between action and authenticity, this is your bill. It's not going to set the world on fire, win wars or change the genre – but it's fun, popcorn escapism.
