Some of those screens are quite amazing.

Though, I can't quite shake the impression that it all seems like a badly done Hollywood movie. And those bad Hollywood movies REALLY annoy me - all the way through. Picture 1, for example, I had to fingers down throat to help nature on its way. I know there were a lot of planes at this battle, but come on, less is more. Does it feel like you are flying in the mind of a 16 year old boy?

Plenty of big air battles in WW2. Black Friday in Norway had reports of a 50+ plane furball going on in the sky.

Just got done with Wake Island mission and it had me take off from airport, then it skips to approaching target, then when mission done it gives the option to exit or keep flying and land back at base.

Pretty fun so far, playing in Simulation mode using XB360 controller.

Very cinematic replays, they really let you really appreciate the awesome waves, skies, clouds etc as you see how the mission unfolded and in my case how your bombs missed or you accidentally crashed... pretty amazing for a console IMHO.

Hmmm. Looks like there may finally be a game to put my Saitek AV8R to use with.

Looks pretty darn good for $40!

I'll get around to picking up a copy for sure.

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

I am curious. Does it actually include mission editor?. I have made a search on youtube but I found nothing about that feature.

What makes Wings of Prey boring and repetitive is the lack of a decent mission editor. Seems like Birds of Steel is using similar engine.

Hoping for a PC release.
