    this is one of the best games ive ever played! i never was really in to flying games or sims, but after playing sturmovik, i cant get enough of either. its simple controls are easy to use and simulator mode makes the game very challenging and even more fun. BUY IT!

    I have been a fan of the IL-2 series on PC for some time, and playing IL-2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey for about a week now I must say I am really enjoying it. You can have some real good light fun in "arcade" difficulty but the real deal is in "realistic" and "simulation" modes, the physics are great and the graphics photorealistic, with real time damage model, the combat is intense and fun. It may not be as deep or as long as the PC IL-2 games but it is a unique game very well executed. Play it with a Thrustmaster or Saitek flight stick(I use the Thrustmaster TFlight HotasX for PS3) to really appreciate the physics and gameplay.… Expand

    I had this on PC several years ago. I have to say I'm really enjoying it on PS3. I'm not a purist, just a casual gamer crying out fora break from the monotony of yet another First Person Shooter, and IL2 is the remedy I've been craving! Great fun on Arcade, it's almost a shooter, but crack it open on Realistic and you start to feel some respect for what those pilots went through! It's also stunningly beautiful at times and has good presentation for a "sim". I'm thoroughly enjoying it and it makes a nice change to play a sim on a console.… Expand

    Im not a fan of sims at all but this game looks prety nice 2 me. I really liked the multiplayer mode "capture airfield", its funy and hard on "realistic" mode.

    Straightforward, aerial combat. [Holiday 2009, p.85]

    Taken as a rousing aerial shooter, it's easy to recommend - and sadly rather too easy to complete. There's a ton of content, at least, and it's all presented in a whiz-bang style that draws you in with heart-pounding action without belittling the history behind the explosions. It's just a shame that for such a venerable simulator series, it's the more serious game modes where Birds of Prey feels most compromised by its hardware.

    Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is the best World War II combat flight simulator at this moment. The game really brings you the atmosphere of WWII. Thanks to the good gameplay and content, this game is definitely worth buying.
