Gatt, how big was the file?  The web site doesn't appear to say.

[TheWobble]

file size is 43mb, for some reason i cant get netvampire to dl it..gotta use getright or go-zilla  looks yummy though  

[gatt]

Yup, 43MByte. Try with Gozilla or GetRight, some guys had file-corrupted problems downloading it with IE5 only.

Graphics are not up to date but I bet the sim will be great fun the same.

[mietla]

yup, mine IE5 download is corrupt ...

[Nash]

Same..... made it through the whole download, and got hung when it finally saved to disc  

Gonna try again, of course...  Does anyone know if this has multi-player?

I haven't tried it yet... But I have the game on order, hopefully I'll have it soon!

The second link works. The game looks a little rough, and the graphics are a bit dated. It also seems to have inherited the odd Rowan viewing system. I will try to sort it out and give a full review.

[Nash]

Yup - having a hard time getting used to the views.... that's fer sure.

[Toad]

Man, I hope they got the bomb-drop dynamics right!!

That's the true key to a great game!

 

[easymo]

 Views views. You guys are so spoiled

[SOB]

Rowan software.

These are the guys who reuse their old sounds from way back.

I'll never buy one of their crappy products again. Last time it was MiG Alley which suffered from a stuttering bug they kept promising to solve but never did. Only some users got it.

No way, no Rowan. Idiot Brits.

I think Rowan employed Meatwater for the sounds this time?

[LLv34_Camouflage]

LOL Santa.  Actually, imho the sounds are the best thing in BoB. Like duma said, they're made my Meatwater.

The graphics are not too good, in fact EAW is better, imho. Like a squadmate said, this game looks like something that should have been published 2 years ago.  

The view system is terrible, I hope I will get some sense into it.  Also, the FOV is way too narrow.

In any case, BoB is fun to fly and there are some nice details. This won't keep the interest up very long, though.  

I suspect BoB won't be too much of a success...
