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.
