Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Standard
Customer Review: Great Simulator!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is GREAT for anyone who loves planes, or has any interest in them, for that matter!! This is by far the BEST simulator game out on the market! I only gave it 4 stars because it does have a few glitches here and there, but it is still a GREAT game! I will say though, it is well worth the money, but, I think you would get a better deal by getting the Professional Edition! So check it out! You won't be sorry!Customer Review: It's a flying sim - not a game
Summary: 5 Stars
If you run out and get this program thinking your getting a game your wrong. This is a flight Simulator and that is what you get. If your a pilot or an aspiring pilot and want to get some practice flying or try out what it takes to fly an aircraft this is a good way to find out. I've run this program on my PIII 1.1 GHZ WIN-XP laptop with 512 MB ram and 32 MB graphics card as well as a Celeron 1.2 GHz 256 MB ram and integrated 11 MB graphics and it has performed well on both systems. Have even flown between the two systems over my home lan with great ease. This program is much better with a flight stick and is rather difficult to attempt with a keyboard. I use a MS Sidewinder force feedback 2 stick and it works great. Program is a hard drive hog on full install though using up 1.7 Gig per system. Thankfully Microsoft does not make you have a CD in the computer to run the program so you don't need to have the software handy after install. Overall I think it's the best SIM out there. If your looking for a game look at Combat Flight Simulator 2 or some other shoot-em up game.Customer Review: awsome
Summary: 5 Stars
im a simulation lover i play this game all day. this is the best one i played yet I own the 98 and 2000 version also but 2002 is the best one. the graphics are awsome and online play is even beater with air shows and escort missions and all sorts of things. some of the airplanes have spoilers and retractable landing gear. and all of the air planes have flaps of course when i got 98 i did not know any thing about flying an airplane now I know alot. so if i were u i would buy the game.Customer Review: Great graphics and real time flying
Summary: 4 Stars
Flight Simulator 2002 is the best thing to being real. Now if the paint on the outside of the airplane would say the real companies like Delta, Southwest, United and American, that would even better.The best teacher in pilot traning is in here. There are real time graphics. My favorite is Las Vegas, you can see all of the casinos like Luxor, MGM Grand and the one that you see first from the skies... Statosphere. There are real time graphics and airplanes which makes it really good.All airports are here even small ones like military bases and cargo fields that have only 1 a small runways to airports with more than 4 runways like Chicago O'Hare. They pack all this in one box of 3 CD's.
One bad thing about this game is the long load times even when you have a great computer... Still long load times. But this does't take the fun out of the game. Great game but it costs an arm and a leg to buy it, I think it is worth it.
Customer Review: Great Realism, But lacks the "Game" Part
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, this is a Great Game. If you are truly interested in aviation then you might want to look in to this game. I am Interested in Flight simulators, but the problem is, is that there are not a lot of "fun" aspects of the game. You dont shoot down any aircraft, like in war flight sims. All you do is fly. Simply Fly. You can cut engine power, to add a twist, but thats it. dont get me wrong, the game is good, its fun to fly but you just cany expect much more.Some of the good things are the realism. Its simply as close as you get. There are so many airports, you can fly to your homeotwn, if its New York City, or some small town in kentucky. You also have the opportunity to fly a wide variety of aircraft. Some of us might be able to fly small Cesnus, but i doubt that many will ever be able to fly a fully loaded Boeing 777.
In Conclusiion: If your intrested in aviation, not just flying a P-51 and nockin off 109's but interested in flying small aircraft(or large), than this is the game for you. I am glad that I bought this game. I dont play it all the time, but its a nice game to play and you can test your skill and learn alot. Its all how interested you are.
