Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Standard
Customer Review: Probably the best Flight Simulator available for the PC
Summary: 4 Stars
MS Flight Simulator 2002 is a very detailed game that lets PC users attempt their skill at flying in a simulated environment. The game platform is a very accurate 3-D model of the entire Earth's surface, and features many many airports all over the planet. My favorite feature is the real-world weather conditions that you can download from the internet. Unfortunayely, the fog/ visibility effects looked better of FS 2000. The cloud formations look great on this one, though. I just wish they would include more aircraft, like a twin-turbine Cessna, or a military jet, like F-16 or MIG. Depending on the type of PC you have, the performance of this demanding program will probably slow the frame rate down, especially when flying over very detailed cities like New York or London with broken clouds and other air traffic. Just be sure to check the specs and make sure your PC can handle it.

... Once i got FS 2002 it took up a lot of space for the full install (1.3 gigs) but i think it was worth it. The graphics on this game are great, not only can you land and take off from almost every airport you can think of. The also have an air traffic controller (ATC), I think its cool. This game is great for people who just like to fly, but i do suggest that you buy a good joystick. It just makes the game all the more fun, the only thing i dont like about this game they only have like 8 planes, but I do hear you can download almost any plane off of the internet from Fed X mail planes to British AirWays. ...Customer Review: Game or tool?

Looking to have a lot of fun? This might not be the program for you. Looking to learn a lot about flying planes? Then this program will be a great tool. The graphics in the game are great, and the game has every single airport you could want to take off from; from your big city airport to the dirt runway behind your cornfield. A lot of attention to detail was put into the program. The program is a great deal for the money it will cost, but if you're looking for a fun game, this might not be it, but it does have a lot of potential. Don't buy this unless you plan on buying a nice joystick.Customer Review: In Training

After waking up one morning and FINALLY running down to the local air port to find out about flying lessons, I was told to check out Flight Simulator for some practice before I actually get into an airplane, myself. TURN UP THE HARDWARE ACCELERATOR!! If you have video card problems... Please don't beat yourself up and get this software... But, if your computer works handy-dandy, BUY IT NOW! So far I have flown out of Omaha to Denver, Denver to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to Phoenix, and Phoenix back to Omaha. Granted, it has taken me about a month to actually accomplish this (because after flying for 3-4 hours straight, I'm not too much in the mood to do it all over again really quick, and do it right). I've been flying in the Cessna Skylane (which is what I would actually be flying to get my pilot's license) and it makes it look so simple, except for the turns! (I hate turning!) Although I still haven't flown for real, so I don't know how real FS is, I wouldn't doubt it's any less hard than the real thing!Customer Review: Flight Simulator 2002

This game is fun, but the graphics could use a little bit of help. Those of you who like FS2000 or FS98, you'll love this one. Although some planes have dissapeared, the game is much more engaging.
