Summary
Takes you back in time with authentic aircraft, detailed cockpits, and spectacular scenery. Moving canopies, folding wings, battle-scarred paint, realistic aircraft damage, and last-second bailouts immerse you in a new level of combat flight simulation. [Microsoft]

Electric Playground
The Pacific based action in CFS 2 includes stunning locations that really show that the battleground was truly a tropical paradise, and well-detailed aircraft to take to the skies. This is really one title not to be missed!
Read Full Review >PC Gameworld
High immersion factor; some innovative touches; good multiplayer and the Pacific Theater. If you're a fan of WWII era combat flight sims this one is irresistible.

An incredible technical achievement in visuals, depth and realism. CFS2 is a technically excellent game, though somewhat lacking in heart.

Gorgeous aircraft models painstakingly rendered down to the smallest of details.

Amazing sound, strong research, beautiful graphics and varied missions ensure a long shelf-life.
Antagonist
Hardcore sim fans may find it a little weak, but if you've ever wanted to get into combat sim games but were turned off by the complexity, this is the game for you!
Cincinnati Enquirer
Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the game, though, is the way in which it gives a real sense of what war was really like for pilots in the Pacific.
Read Full Review >Daily Radar
It's a must have for casual WWII air buffs and the hardcore as well, and fortunately has the distinction of being well worth having.
FiringSquad
Looks outstanding, plays well, has authentic sounds, and is fully customizable to fit your flight sim needs. It's not perfect, but it's likely the best World War II era flight sim available.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Due to its attention to detail and wide range of features, Combat Flight Simulator 2 has something to offer almost every simulation enthusiast.
Read Full Review >GamerWeb PC
The linearity of its game play combined with its lack of multiplayer options dent what would have otherwise been an outstanding game.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
One of the game's greatest strengths though is quite simply the Pacific Theatre setting - there is next to no competition here, and the game does a lot to teach you how it feels to turn in for that critical run at the enemy carrier.
Read Full Review >CNET Gamecenter
While it would've been nice to re-create some of the truly significant aerial engagements of the war, such as the Battle of Midway and the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, Combat Flight Simulator 2 is nevertheless an excellent game.
Happy Puppy
Featuring powerful graphics and intense gameplay, CFS2 makes up for all the mistakes of its predecessor, and then some.
Read Full Review >Computer Games Magazine
Enemy AI is solid-indeed, absolutely unshakeable on higher difficulty settings—and you'll certainly know it when there are enemy aces in a mission. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for your wingmen.
Read Full Review >Adrenaline Vault
This game, however, is not for the lighthearted or for those with no flight experience, as even on the easiest of settings pilots will find it very difficult to keep enemies in their sights long enough to shoot them down.
Read Full Review >Gamer's Pulse
Overall, the game is clean and reminds me of the old "Pacific Strike" from Origin, though more playable and it doesn't crash my computer.
Read Full Review >PC Gamer
A solid improvement over the original, though still not up to the standards of prior classics. [Jan 2001, p.137]
Gaming Age
One very beautiful, but very difficult, flight simulator. Real life physics are tough, even with a slider bar that allows a bit of control.
Read Full Review >Spank!
You can't fault the simulation, but there's not enough here to recommend it to anyone who isn't a die-hard fan of old-style aerial combat.
