1.0 out of 5 stars This is HORRIBLE, December 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Battle for Midway (CD-ROM)

Im a huge fan of WW2 flight sims and the Pacific versions are among my favorites. CFS1 was an awesome game and I bought the add on with great expectations. I was severly disappointed. Playing it with more than the sys requirements, the game was choppy and the graphics were poor. It "looks cheap". There is little detail to the terrain or planes compared to CFS.Even after upgrading to a blazing fast system and maxing out all the setting this game is still a disappointment. I have seen other abacus add ons to CFS since buying this one and they are all the same in terms of quality and playability. I wont buy another one.

I loved the new planes. The missions are flakey. Many missions don't give you enough fuel to successfully complete the objective. What's with the Japanese medals? They are the same as the German medals. Pretty disappointing. I don't recommend this as an add on to the World War II Europe series.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure Junk, June 14, 2002

As an add-on the Microsoft's CFS1 (Europe), this does add some "warfare" in the Pacific Theater. (And this is great if you are running WinNT, which will not run Microsoft's CSF2-Pacific Theater.)

But overall it, along with other Abacus add-ons, was a GREAT disappointment. The planes are unrealistic in flight characteristics, the scenery is very poor, you can miss another plane by a mile and it registers as a mid-air collision, the maps you are shown are European maps from CFS1, and the program itself frequently "crashes".

My advice: stay away from ALL Abacus add-ons to Microsoft CFS.
