    A Disappointment. Flight physics are poor, and compared to the PC version (I played the demo of that) the controls are crappy. With two analog sticks, why not follow the convention of RC planes, and use Right Stick for Elevator/Ailerons, Left Stick for Throttle/Rudder. Knowing how to fly is a disadvantage in playing the game, as little of flying is captured in the gameplay. Game has No A Disappointment.
