Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Standard
Customer Review: The Best of FS Simulations
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had them all since FS4. 2002 is by far the best of all. Games like this can be very problematic, both within themselves and what they can do to your system. Not the case here, at least not with me. I originally installed FS2002 on a Windows ME system. Since then, I upgraded to Windows XP and the Simulator just hummed along without missing a beat. Of course there are things that could be improved (maybe a little more accurate ATC) but what do you want for $50? The Real World Weather works great and you'll want to add FSNavigator and some of the great AI aircraft to keep you company on those long flights. I've heard the horror stories about the new FS2004 and I'm in no hurry to dump my 2002. It's been too good to me.Customer Review: Great Improvement, Although could have been even better
Summary: 4 Stars
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, although outdated by now, is still worth every penny. You can fly to any airport around the world, even the tiny ones. From Leguardia to Malvern Mun (Small town in Arkansas), you can fly all over the united states, with a borrage of planes. This game lets you experience the Landmarks of the U.S.
You can fly as a freestyle mission or you can fly one of the missions Microsoft gives you, such as circling the Colluseum or flying from New York to Japan.
The only problem with the flights to unknown or small airports, is that the graphics and the land under you is all repetitive and dotted with little buildings, it's all the same.
Overview:
Fun- 10/10 great for you flight buffs.
Grahpics- 7/10 Awesome in well-known places, but repetitive onceyou get into the unknowns of the U.S.
Gameplay- 10/10 Just liek you're a real pilot.
Difficulty-N/A Not really any difficulty.
Overall-27/30
This game is a lot of fun to play, if you know what you're doing, but if you wamt the real combat experience, I reccomend Flight simulator: Battle for Europe.
Try this game out though.

I want to answer a question that is on a lot of peoples mind! I have just ordered this game but have played it on school computers! Many people are dissapointed in that you can't crash on this game! Well, you can! Just go to the AIRCRAFT button on the top file bar on your screen! Go to the bottom of the menu that pops up, click REALISM & (some other word). Scroll through the provided links until you come to a place that says CRASHES or something like that. On your screen, it probably says:IGNORE CRASHES
Unhighlight it and highlight:
RECOGNIZE CRASHES and RESTART or something like that!
Now you should be on your way to destroying the city of choice! HAPPY FLYING!
Customer Review: Clear for Take-off!

I played this game at a relative's house, and I liked it so much that I want to get it for myself!I started out just creating flights and crashing the plane (there are no crash graphics, which was a bummer for me, the plane could hit the ground with the nose, but then just pop back up and skid on it's landing gear! The planes wouldn't sink in water either!), but then I started 'learning' how to fly the plane! That was where I got hooked on the game. "Learning" how to fly was a lot of fun, it was like you were really flying with an instructor in the cockpit with you (well, it is a SIMULATOR)!
Next, the graphics are very good, and the sound effects are very realistic! The physics of flying are also great and so are the weather physics! I recommend buying this sim, but only if say you want to fly realistically. If you don't, just buy some other game (such as a fighter pilots game).
