honestly, and i don't mean this to be argumentative, but does this game really deserve in it's current state to be in the top 100 in the first place? In the shape it's in, i don't think it does. As it stands it's a bargain bin title or a value title.
The US release might bump it a little but i think the damage to this game has been done, it's a lemon and most folks will probably stay with 1946. Even if all the bugs in this game are 100% fixed, it's still not much of a game. The campaign is really lackluster and there's tons more planes to choose from in 1946.
It is not the quality of the game that is rated but "quantity".
This is a game for fans not every gamer!
It is a flight simulation of high standards.
The immersion in this game is fabulous.
It needs many patches but if like for IL2 al the series there is a follow up then there shall be no problems. And in ten years! Yes the original IL2 is ten years old and still kicking.
I must say also it is for top of the range PC’s!
