The aircraft themselves are nothing short of amazing, they are so detailed. Things start looking real good once you actually get off the ground, the terrain, usually comprising of islands or land masses covered in jungle look rich and vibrant and the sea with its different colours of blue makes you want to dive in for a dip.
MICROSOFT COMBAT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2 REVIEW 32 BIT
If, like me, you have no Japanese knowledge you will be pleased to know you’re not left in the dark, subtitles are provided just to make sure you don’t s*** up and go dive bombing any friendly ships.As soon as CFS2 kicks in you’re in for a visual treat, the game looks stunning to put it mildly and sports resolutions that go right up to 1600×1200 in 32 bit colour, assuming your hardware can handle it. Ok so you haven’t got a clue what they are saying but boy does is sound good. They are all in Japanese! This is a fantastic touch to the game, adding real authenticity to the proceedings. The Training is very well presented and easy to understand with audio and text guides that appear at the top of the screen, once it’s completed you’ll have a taste for the ‘real’ action.Once you’ve chosen the mode of play for the Japanese, the first thing that takes you by surprise when playing are all the mission briefings. A couple of us here had a great laugh trying to land on an aircraft carrier, that lasted for about an hour, it’s not easy, that’s for sure. The training increases in difficulty from basic flight to take-offs and landings. Being a bit rusty training was the best place to start.

Campaign, Free Flight, Quick Combat, Single Missions and of course training. Not wanting to go for the obvious, the mouse sped towards the Japanese.Before you get right in on the action you have the option of quite a few different game modes. In CFS2 you choose either to play as the Japanese or Americans, each side with their own unique aircraft. If you played the first game, getting to grips with the sequel will be a breeze, the controls and layout all follow a similar idea. To bring things up to speed and give gamers the chance to take part in these great historic Pacific air battles Microsoft bring us Combat Flight Sim II: Pacific Theatre.The original CFS1 was pretty well received and CFS2 builds on the original’s success bringing familiar game play styles to the sequel. Its been quite some time since a Pacific WWII flight sim has been released, in fact the last similar game I sat down and played for embarrassingly long lengths of time was Microprose’s Pacific Air War.
