Product Description

There’s something new in the air, and it’s more than just the deadly hum of hundreds of German war planes… As the Luftwaffe launches its aerial offensive on Britain, the outnumbered Royal Air Force is scrambling to bring into combat two new planes that will ensure their victory. You’ll have to hold off the enemy in your Hurricane or Spitfire. If you survive, you’ll be the first to fly England’s last hope of defense into combat, the Hawker tornado and Westland Whirlwind to deliver a decisive blow to the German offensive.

combat wings battle of britain is a flight sim . however it it a arcade flight sim , the graphics are very nice and you get to blow wings off other planes , there is smoke and fire and the skys are busy .I own just about every flight sim , my favorites are il2 and il2 sturmovic with the ace expansion pack . realistic . this game is also. at first i was not impressed as the mouse is your key control and takes a little while to get used to . but it gets right into the game and the germans start to attack . you can play easy or hard level . if your looking for a realistic flight sim then no this is not for you . but this gets 4 stars for fun as you sweat and your blood pressure goes up and down . i went on line and you can even try a free demo if your not sure . but like i said it is a lot of fun.

I bought this game "Combat Wings: Battle of Britain " and received it today on a Saturday. Was looking forward to playing it. But it would not load. My security software picked up a worm. So it would not let the program load. Other reviews complain of a worm and a trojan horse. So something is wrong with this game.
Also, another thing, when I bought this game, under the title in that area. It shows the platform it will play on for PC users. It said Vista/NT. But when I looked at the box after I got the game. It did not say it was vista compatible. It sure showed up when I did a general game search for PC games play with Vista Platforms too.
So off the UPS store Monday to return it. What a waste. It will not let me submit the comment without a rating, so I am only giving one star to submit the rating. My real rating is ZERO STARS.
