 Some people might have seen this already. I know this really belongs in the O Club, but seems like interestingmaterial to talk about. :)

 I've expected it to be a lot more sophisticated in graphics, but some how the pastel tone seems to make it look more like a cartoon, where as other graphical wonders like IL-2 give out a lot more realistic feeling. Ah well, you can expect only so much from Microsoft.. :D

I thought the graphics looked good.

The story, on the other hand, was cheesy as all hell.

Well, the missiles are overmodeled and the pilot's head is too small, but the idea was good.  Good CGI for a film, but that doesn't mean we'll see that in the game play.

Liked it, not as much as the film for EAW though; now there was a classic. . .

Anything that lets me fly a hypothetical GO 229. . its making me all misty-eyed for Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. . .
