Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3: Battle for Europe
Customer Review: cfs 3 a major disapointment
Summary: 1 Stars
this simulation seems like a throw back to a time when flight sims were in there infancy.lifeless cockpits,repetitive missions,not much fun at all.if microsoft is planing a cfs 4 i suggest they review il-2 sturmovik,this is the benchmark of combat flight sims.my advice is to save your money or buy il-2 instead.Customer Review: Good graphics but not much fun.
Summary: 2 Stars
This game is o.k. they could have done a bit beter at the action and fun. The planes are pretty fun to fly. To aim at other planes you have to have very good hand eye cordination. It is the type of game you may play only once per month.Customer Review: Limited LAN ability
Summary: 2 Stars
Touts itself as a great LAN device yet customizing for multiplayer contest is extremely limited. Aircraft responses are more like flying a Bomber rather than a fighter in combat. For a Microsoft product one would expect a higher level of performance. If you're looking for a realistic flight simulator don't rely on this one.Customer Review: Fix the .exe file!
Summary: 2 Stars
I went around in circles for a few days trying to get this program to work, with no success. Then I went to http://gf.wiretarget.com/ and downloaded the fixed .exe file for this program. It now works as poorly (or as well) as Microsoft planned. They put so much security on the cd to make sure you can't copy it, the darn thing won't even work under optimum conditions. Luckily, the people at Wiretarget are able to come up with fixes for quite a number of games.This program now works, but I'm not sure it's worth the money. Very poor views when you're flying these aircraft.
Customer Review: Great, but a little cranky and particular....
Summary: 4 Stars
1. You need a good computer P4 with at least 512 mb ram is best
2. get a very good joystick...Freedom 2.4 cordless works well.
3. As stated on instructions... it is best to have higher resolution for combat. I would also recommend at least a 17" monitor.
4. download help/instruction file and print... also consider buying a seperate guide by MS or Sybex.
5.Don't load on a Hard drive that is nearly full (you need 2gb of empty space AND you should still have 15% free... or more)
6. Manuals suggest defragging etc BEFORE loading and using.
If you follow these and other basic "good practices". it is a VERY good and fun game.
