Before any other developer even thinks about making another flight simulator, they should play this game and then ask themselves if they feel worthy.
-
The most stunning combat flight simulator I have ever seen. It's nerve racking, historically educational, deeply immersive, graphically unbelievable, awe-inspiring and a sim that proves once again an old axiom -- it's intense software that drives the development of intense hardware.
-
AceGamezWhether you're a fan of the genre or just curious, B-17 deserves your attention.
-
Military buffs will no doubt find this an immersive game, even if only in solo play.
-
CNET GamecenterCasual gamers, however, should skip this title (unless they're WWII plane enthusiasts), because the learning curve is steep.
-
A very unconventional game that has a remarkably grand scope.
-
A good-looking B-17 experience with a full range of different tasks to tinker with and some quick blasts of action all wrapped in a lightweight strategy envelope.
