As uninspiring as it is, Heroes Over Europe does deliver adequate multiplayer features that are found in a majority of other similar titles.

Multiplayer modes are limited, though the dogfights and team battles for up to 16 players are still quite fun. It's satisfying taking down an enemy plane when you know there's a human cursing you out from his burning cockpit on the other end.

Heroes Over Europe is a stripped down game and will be fairly forgotten with all the great games coming out this fall. Only the die-hard WWII and airplane fans will find this a great game to fly with the Spitfire or the Messerschmitt. The rest of the world will find this game very disappointing and probably won't be interested. The missions are mostly the same and aren't very exiting. The Ace Kills can be taken out of the game, and the game is not very pretty.

Much has been made of the fact that this game and Il-2 have been released so close to each other. Many comparisons are being drawn between the two. I’m nuts over flight games of all kinds, so I got both. Il-2 fans are not lying when they a the game is outstanding on many levels. I wouldn’t pass it p, trust me. It’s a terrific game. But even though it offers both sim style play and arcade style play for the less sim oriented, it really only excels at it’s sim game. As an arcade combat game it’s good, but it’s not great. Heroes over Europe is straight up the best arcade combat game you can buy. For your sim tastes, it’s all about Il-2, but for the best arcade experience of your life3, Heroes over Europe is the clear winner. Me, I love both and would recommend either.… Expand

Lackluster graphics, subpar sound, and a lack of features make this game, the sequel to 2005's Heroes of the Pacific(one of my favorite games of all time) a sequel only Hollywood can be proud of. It looks last gen, suffers from unforgivable slow down when the action heats up, and is sparse in its content, providing 14 campaign missions and 4 modes/maps for MP. The slowdown is almost unbearable, but some other quirks loom inside this rough ride: texture pop up abounds, collision detection is laughable, and the game won't allow you to target certain enemies...... and the friendly AI is worthless to boot. Another weird quirk; the rumble feature is not selectable, and everytime a bullet hits you, or you engage warspeed, the controller vibrates more violently than in any game I have ever played. Result? numb hands and a dead controller battery, certainly NOT a fun or engaging feature. I had my hopes up for this game. It does NOT deliver, other than in the cool 40's menus. Save your money, or at best rent this game. The competition that just released earlier in the month has quite a bit more to offer, both in replay and in quality. This one crashes and burns.… Expand
