What's right:
-Beautiful graphics. This is one pretty game.
-Nice selection of planes to fly, with different and reasonably well-modeled flight characteristics.
-Excellent detail on the engine controls and damage modeling.
What's wrong:
-Repetitive, inflexible missions. Take off, accelerate time to target zone, dogfight or bomb, accelerate time home. Yawn. After about five missions I was starting to feel like I'd seen everything.
-Useless wingmen
-Limited radio commands to issue (and the wingmen never seem to listen anyway)
-Useless LSO for carrier landings (and *terrible* looking...couldn't they at least animate him or do him in 3D? He looks like a cardboard cutout!) Follow his instructions and you'll miss the deck every single time.
-No torpedoes. How do you model the Pacific war without including torpedoes?
But the reason I was most disappointed with it was that I never got the feeling of being immersed in a bigger conflict...all the missions just seemed very limited and not very interesting. It's a shame - they've got nice graphics and flight models here, but it seems like they never spent the time to flesh out the rest of the game.
