This game reeks of stuff that is boring. I really dont like the grphics and the game it self gets extremly boring. If you want a real game get b-17 flying fortress it has the same stuff but twice as much and you can pilot the plane and take 10 different crew positions for the same price!

This was a great disappointment. It is very unplayable. Dont waste your cash!

This Game I thought was pretty bad. The controlling of the guns is stupid and the graphics are pretty bad too. I would not recommend this to anybody.

The lack of depth in this game is astonishing. It would have taken very little programing to make this stinker O.K. No target range, no practice runs, not even a map to see where you're are headed. Twenty-five missions was a very magic number during the air war over Germany, here, Twenty-five is just another number. After Deer hunter 4 I had high hopes... Oh, well...

This is a bad game. There is NO variety; you go up against the same fighters every time after the 10th mission. All the targets look almost the same from 4 miles high and when the bombs go off all you see is the same target with a little smoke on it.

No reading large tech manuals. No real flight modelling to worry about. Just shoot and watch your ammunition, as the waves of fighters attack your formation! (BTW don't shoot the other aircraft in your formation and that goes for your aircraft too!) You can switch gunnery positions during flight. You also act at the Bombardier and drop the bombs on the target. (Yes, you get the adjust the aircraft just as "they" did.) This is a great "no brainer" for you flight sim fanatics that want something simple to do in your spare time. This game goes very well with beer and pretzels. Don't think...enjoy and have fun!

The graphics aren't very good, but it's overall very fun. A good WWII sim for new gamers.

On the first day of first hours while playing this game, I got bored. Yes, this game is fun, but after awhile, this is no longer fun. I mean graphics are so aweful that when you shoot down a fighter, they fall as though there're a paper or something. I think the sound was ok. But still.....not fun.....

...then you'll like this game. I installed it, played it once, uninstalled it. I like combat flight sims of all types, and figured this was a gunner sim. Wrong. No comparison to gunning in B-17 2, for instance. The targets just cycle back and forth by your guns for you to shoot at. If you're inexperienced at sims, and/or new to gunning, give it a shot if that's worth [price] to you. If you're used to reality-type sims, you're probably going to be turned off by this game. Great for kids, though, probably.
