I know that choice of game is highly subjective. But I happen to love this game more than any other WWII flying game. The graphics are great, and the fun level is superb without being ridiculously difficult. You don't need to read a 700-page manual to get these planes off the ground. The game is intuitive and pure raw fun to fly these babies! I also find the game to be solid, with fewer bugs than most games I play. If you like Crimson Skies, then you may also love this one.

Ok, so I've played this game for a little while and I will just give it a 3 out of 5. THe game is good, personally I liked a lot more Combat Flight Simulator 3, great graphics for the time, a wide selection of planes, German, British or American, including "secret planes" or planes that never reached WWII. But in this game, it seems that they focused more on a less realistic experience, and go straight for the action instead. It could have been a fantastic game, if they just added nicer graphics OMG we're in 2006! . If you can spend the money, and you like the genre, give it a try!

I don't understand why Upisoft is marketing this game when they have Pacific Fighters and IL-2. The later two games are far superior to Heroes of the Pacific. HoP has a squirrely flight model and in every other way is inferior to Pacific Fighters. It's not worth the trouble at half the price!

This game was just right for me. There's no need to read a 500 page manual just to get your plane off the ground. No need to memorize a hundred key combinations. Graphics could have been a little better. The missions were fun. I like the fact you can jump right in and GO! And like I said before, your not bogged down by complicated key memorization. BUY IT, PLAY IT, and HAVE FUN!

i own just about every flight simulator game what attracted me was the fact that this was a new game the graphics are very disapointing considering i have one of the best video cards if you want a great flight simulator game go go for il2 forgotton battles of il2 sturmovik very reasonable priced and a lot more in expensive you also can not control the speed of the planes on this game dont waste your money its pure hype

The PC version of this game rocks! Don't know what games these other lame dudes are playing, but it's definitely NOT HOTP! Get a good PC with a good video and audio card, and a good joystick, and have a blast ... literally! Check out my images on Amazon to see the fun I'm having!

Enjoy!

Someone here said there is no speed control for the planes, well i found one, its really hard to find though, you know thing like reading the control menu or taking the basic flight training DO show right away how to slow down and speed up the plane, but i could see how some poeple would not understand a game if they dont try to play it.

I have just finished playing this game for 5 hours after buying it and i am very happy. Its a great shot them up and have doing it game, no 20min flight trips to shot one bad guy then runing home, this is flying with 50 other plans in the sky, AA flack shoting at you, ships shooting at you, plans shooting at you, and you only have to be at 3 places at once to win the mission. Too much fun, the controls took about 15mins to get good with and after that its smooth flying from there, i like flying in arcade mode, with harmaztion (not spelled right) on the tight setting.

over all great game, this is no flight sim its a action packed fly by the seat of your pants ride.

Will not run on Windows 7 at all. Will have to send back. Will not load at all. No fun at all what a waste of money.

Yes, BUYER BEWARE!!! This software has some kind of Virus or Worm which Norton found in the exec. launch and would not allow the program to complete install...thank goodness. Later I read several other reviews which stated the same information. I cannot understand why Amazon continues to offer this game at its sight when so many folks have incurred the same problem. I promptly return H-O-P for a refund.

i have used 'heroes of the pacific' for only a few hours, and therefore have little to comment on. however, i will say that the purchase of this game was to replace an extremely disappointing 'msfs2'. as to the few hours played, my initial impression was of let down. but, knowing the general quality of ubisoft, i will have to get much deeper into it before giving any meaningful comment.
