    Easy controls, fair play. Lacks camera angles and a decent heads-up display.

    A game I absolutely loved as a child. The missions were exciting and the music was great. However, the camera angle made it a major pain to land, the graphics were below average and some of the missions are rock hard. Dog fighting is basically nonexistent and it can take a while to get back into the fight once you die. It's fun, but nothing to pay for in this day and age.

  1. The game fails to tread new water in the field. It may have been a solid title, without the Pearl Harbor title, five years ago. It is a fair arcade, third-person perspective flight sim, and nothing more.

    Despite interesting missions like Midway and Guadalcanal, experienced gamers can blow through Zero Hour in a day. Ambitious flyboys will gladly return to it as coffee break filler, but long-term companionship is doubtful.

    Overall I'd rather watch the movie again...and I hated the movie.
