    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

    Awesome story, amazing graphics, sizzling action, insane fun and vicious dogfights. Want more? Tons of planes. Easily replayable with 3 different characters to choose from. Exciting locations that look unbelievable. Oh yeah, there’s more still! Truly engaging online combat with more ways to blow your friends out of the sky than you can shake a flight stick at. Come and get some of the best air combat action you can find.… Expand

    What a nice change of pace! A game that stylizes itself over those World War 2 movies made in the 50’s without being so cheesy as to be ridiculous! This game totally captures the magic of some of the better WWII flight movies. I especially like the parts above the French Alps. The visuals are a knock out, and fighting over the Alps is kind of intense. Try this one out. It’s one of the better flight games to ever grace a console.… Expand

    You can’t beat this game for pure adrenaline pumping action. Other games satisfy in their own ways, but for all out action spiced with some sweet visuals this game is IT. There’s nothing like flying through the smoke and debris of the plane you just riddled with bullets, or zeroing in on specific parts of the plane (even the pilot if you’re good enough!) with the cool Ace Kill feature and blasting away. The feeling I get every time I play this game HAS to be dangerous! This much fun just can’t be good for a person.… 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

    Zipping through the skies over Europe, pounding enemies with hot lead, I realize that this is the fighter pilot game I’ve been waiting for. I’m not a hardcore sim chick, nor am I too impressed with the non sim games that have come out so far. HoE thrills though, and it doesn’t take a full blow fighter pilot to play it. I actually did enjoy the game’s predecessor (Heroes of the Pacific), but it wasn’t quite there. They nailed it this time. Bliss!… Expand

    Holy crap did I accidentally fire up my playstation? Is this game really on my 360? Some of the worst graphics I've seen on the 360 in a long time....what a peice of crap, glad I only rented this heap. Even at that it was a waste of money.

    Shallow and dull, but it's also inoffensive and marginally enjoyable. [Oct 2009, p.73]

    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]

    The fact is, Heroes Over Europe does a lot very right; it just happens to do very few things in total.
