Amazon.com Review:
Combat Flight Simulator 2 is a dream come true for historic flight sim fans. Excellent graphics, great sound effects, and adjustable realism settings make CFS2 a thrilling and accessible sortie into the unfriendly skies of the South Pacific during World War II.

After choosing to fly for the Japanese or American forces, you can pick from a selection of seven ultrarealistic aircraft. Experienced flight sim fans will drool over the plane models, accurate down to the number of rivets. Newbies will appreciate the excellent flight and landing tutorials.

There are over 100 missions to fly, many based on historic missions from the war. This unusual level of realism and attention to detail comes from the game developers' personal love of flight: many members of the CFS2 team are pilots. Their extensive research included interviews with Japanese and U.S. aces from the real war in the Pacific. The missions themselves are lengthy and often complex, and are just as accurate as the planes; players take part in history, but cannot change the outcomes of battles.

Because the action takes place in the South Pacific don't expect to see a wide variety of ground scenery. Not that you'll miss it: the water, small islands, planes, aircraft carriers, and battleships are always very sharp and detailed. However, if you expect to play with the graphics at their best settings, be aware that you'll need a blazing fast machine with a fast video card. On lesser computers, the graphics in Combat Flight Simulator 2 start to degrade from stunning to merely ordinary.

The between-mission story arc is told through 1940s-style comic book panels. The artwork does a good job of moving the story along while giving the feeling that your character and his fellow flyboys are aware they're never far from instant death. That the game also allows you to fly the full Japanese side of the campaign gives the player an interesting glimpse at the Japanese perspective of the war.

While the game does include such famous planes as the U.S. Corsair, Wildcat, P38F Lightning, and Japanese Zero, its mere total of seven craft left us wanting more. We were impressed with the vastly different handling of each plane, but the lack of variety is disappointing.

But this is a relatively small shortcoming in an otherwise deep and involving game. If you have a powerful enough PC, Combat Flight Simulator 2 is a delight, and is sure to please both war historians and flight sim enthusiasts.--Mark Brooks

Pros:

Easy to get into, but can be adjusted to become very difficult and realistic

Only seven flyable aircraft
Steep system requirements

- Where the Marines
I like the game , but it is the Pacific Theater and there were Marine Squadrons. Of course they flew F4F's at first then the F4U's ,skipped the F6F,but the Navy hogged them . Its not that big of a deal. (I was a jarhead, does it show?)........... The flight of the planes is a little jerky. I have plenty of power and all my components are more than enough for the game. I've cut off things and cut back on things in the game and tried different formats but it is still not smooth. But all in all, I play ... Read More

- The Best Combat Flight Sim
It still remains the best out-of-the-box combat flight sim! CFS3 was a dog out of the box - however, third party modifications, especially OFF (Over Flanders Fields) a WWI flight sim mod using CFS3 as the engine, is my favorite of all time. CFS2 is no longer on my system, but it was there for many years - and that says a lot!

- best combat flight simulator for slower computers
Out of all the combat flight simulators I like this one the best for high graphics on a low end computer and ease of learning. If this is your situation you can't beat this combat flight simulator for the money.

- Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2
I was really excited to try this game out, but after loading the game I could not get the resoultion set. When in or outside the plane it looks like every thing is expanded and the center is pushed to the far right of the screen. Could not find a fix for this. I did notice that only when the F1 help menu was up that the graphics looked ok. But in the play mode every thing is out of wack.

- Shooting down the enemy can be fun.
The quality of the graphics is adequate. The missions are fine. The real joy is shooting down the enemy. I thought the instructions were lacking, even the "help" and instruction manual on the CD could be much better. It would be nice to have more options for aircraft. I think in general there is room for sophistication in the program. Nevertheless, it is just a bunch of fun to shoot down the enemy. I have had the game for several weeks, and while it will get old at some point, the novelty hasn't ... Read More
