Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight
Customer Review: Realistic Assessment of MS Flight Simulator
Summary: 4 Stars
MS Flight Simulator is a very advanced "game" which requires advanced knowledge and skill on the the part of the user, and a very high performing computer gaming system to present at its best.While the "game" will play on a pedestrian system, power computer system performance makes that difference between "game" and virtual reality. Following on from that, the effort to learn the skills of flying will add greatly to the reward of flying in the low fuel consumption MS Flight Simulator.
Take it from someone who has managed, maintained and flown advanced flight simulators since the mid 60's, this system is as incredible as your computer system and your skills.
This software is fabulous provided that you have the computer system and the personal dedication to get the most from it.
Customer Review: Really great game
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is really fun. The planes you get to fly are awesome. The graphics are OK but the gameplay is great.Customer Review: Early days yet
Summary: 5 Stars
There is so much more to this version compared with 2002, that I shall need to spend a great deal of time studying the aircraft controls, the somewhat different scenery textures and the extensive Help files. Naturally, the general outline of this educational game follows the basic system established in the earlier versions, but there are many improvements. I have flown in a number of jet liners over the years and the cloud formations are pretty close to what you see in real flight. The terrain features are better too. I have not had the opportunity to see real jet liner cockpit controls at first hand, but have no reason to believe that the simulations are very different to what real pilots have in front of them. To accord with sitting in front of a computer screen, there must be some differences, of course, and the experience must be very close I am sure.All in all, I believe MS have,with this version, achieved an extraordinarily lifelike representation of the real thing. If you are looking for the excitement coneyed by playing a game as such, then there is provision for that too.
Customer Review: other people lie
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is awesome. It is realistic. The guy who said he couldnt crash didnt look at the realism settings. Everyone who complained about the requirements is right. I had 500 mhz and 128 ram and 8mb graphics card. It worked terribly untill i got a new computer. 2.66ghz,512ram, and 128 graphics card. It works great. A better computer wouldnt do much better. Triple the minimum requirements and if your computer doesnt make it dont buy fs2004. With this simulator, not a game, you can downdload other planes off simviation.com. You better have a joystick if you are going to play this game. It just need to have a throtle. The new aircrafts are annoyings but this game is still great.Customer Review: Not for everybody.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not a game. It is a SIMULATOR used mostly by pilots and student pilots. If you are looking for a game of great adventure or excitment get combat flight simulator. But if you are a pilot, student pilot, or looking for a challange this the thing for you.This does not have the best graphics but this is more about the handling of the aircraft rather than the looks, but it does have very good graphics just not the best.
Thank you for your time. vp134
