Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3: Battle for Europe
Customer Review: Endless repetition of missions
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this game based on my experience with MS CFS and CFS2. This is nothing like them. I know other reviews have apologized for making the game sound bad. Trust me: it really is that bad. It would have to improve significantly just to stink.
The missions are boring. I know war can be an endless repetion, but come on. There are basically three missions you can fly: go bomb ground targets; go bomb ships; or intercept incoming aircraft. If you fly successive sorties of the same mission type, you will quickly become frustrated and bored. Ground targets are not to scale. Neither are the ships. Your hud will continue to identify targets as "hot" even if you've destroyed them. (Truck convoys are the worst. They can all be smoking piles of rubble and your hud will defiantly indicate that there is still one down there.
The battle lines seem to move regardless of the outcomes of your missions. There is no infomration on what strategies will help you achieve success. I've played through several campaigns, and lost each one without really understanding what I did wrong.
Mission briefs all read the same. You never get promotions, and it is almost impossible to score a medal. Forget getting two.
You can empty your guns into enemy planes before they die. But if you take one hit, your aircraft is uncontrollable.
In summary, this game is not worth owning. Not at all.
