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.
-
Gorgeous aircraft models painstakingly rendered down to the smallest of details.
-
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!
-
The linearity of its game play combined with its lack of multiplayer options dent what would have otherwise been an outstanding game.

CNET GamecenterWhile 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.
-
Enemy AI is solid-indeed, absolutely unshakeable on higher difficulty settingsand you'll certainly know it when there are enemy aces in a mission. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for your wingmen.
-
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.
