60 Second Review of…

IL-2 Sturmovik

Tom's Review: Someone forgot to tell Maddox Games that flight sims are dead, because they went and made one that blows the roof off this moribund genre. Not only do they visit an overlooked corner of World War II -- the skies over Russia -- but they do it with personality, splendor, and fidelity. Meet Russia's forgotten airplanes, take them into the best looking skies this side of a prerendered cutscene, and tussle with a flight model that'll make you forget physics is a dirty word.
