Dunno what to make of this.. I like it up till the point you see the 109 cockpit.

At least it shows there's a market of some description.

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars is an arcade flight simulation set in a world war I+II scenario.
During the 7 campaigns the player has to fly and fight through over 48 missions. Before taking off, the player can choose between different aircrafts, each with different strengths and weaknesses.
Within the missions the player gets different objectives like patrolling, sneaking, hit & run, bombing and escorting. Objectives are presented as dialogues between different characters. After some missions the player can upgrade one of his skills in order to maneuver the airplanes easier, have more endurance or have your wingman boosted. Further, the player can choose between two control schemes. Arcade and simulation. The first one makes the game easier to control, while the second one gives more options to control the aircraft.
Beside the campaign the game also features several multiplayer modes, local and via internet for up to four players.

Features:

Seven campaigns, each based upon a resistance movement of the second world war
Uniquely historical battles such as the siege of Tobruk, the battle of the Neretva Bridge, and Operation Belt in Poland

Action-packed gameplay delivers the excitement of serial combat in a manner accessible to everyone
Over twenty different landscapes, each individually detailed with period precision
Pilot more than 16 individual aircraft, in both World War One and World War Two settings
Machine gun your enemies, dog fight, bomb ground targets and rocket ground troops and enemy vehicles
49 varied missions provide combat, stealth and exploratory gameplay
The player controls his aircraft with either mouse and keyboard or gamepad
The player can choose between two control schemes: Arcade and simulation. The first one makes the game easier to control, while the second one gives more options to control the aircraft
Several multiplayer modes, local and via internet for up to eight players

interesting choice of planes. especially the bisnovat as an american plane. i will probably end up getting it but i dont think it will replace BoP for very long.

Well, the ground units have a lot better detail than BOP, that's for sure. Everything else looks pretty cartoon-y. They also seem to feature bombers heavily. Which might be cool.

hello guys!

after buy air conflict,i permit me to share with u my own opinion about this game.for the guys who don't know,buy or not buy ,here is my opinion after 5 or 6 hours in this game.

my opinion about air conflict:

1-the story:
the hero is a girl!!yes not a joke,i find it nice ,in fact the daughter of a ww1 pilot killed in 1916.the bad thing is that the nice starting of this story stop here!we find again this female hero in 1941 in tobrouk and it become crazy and unrealistic: u fly in a sopwith camel and u fight again the me109!!a story of contraband in a middle of ww2!!not really realistic!i m disappointed!

2-the game :
the planes moves are totally unrealistic!!jerky,u can't stall:u can stop the engine and immediatly up the throttle and it is ok ,very hard to crash (in the highest difficulty : ace)in rookie mode it is impossible to crash!!lol!!in fact the moves of the planes are the moves of an alien ufo ,not the moves of a ww2 plane!!!

3-graphs :
maybe the best of the game but u find quickly his limits,the sky is very nice and the sun light effect are very good,better than il2 i think,planes are just nice,the sun down effects are very nice too ,the explosions of the ennemy planes are good too, u can shoot the infantry,the ground vehicles and tanks are nice but that is all ,the trees are the same in all the maps,their moves are unrealistic,the ennemy intelligence,in the solo campain is like a bird brain ,totally stupid even if the rear gunner of the bombers are very dangerous.

4-the mode simulator
lol,it call simulator mode but it is not one,in fact u can just up or down the landing gears!!the cockpit view is not too bad ,it give a touch of realist to the game but not as good as il2!

5- the fun
this game can be fun,if u just start to play your first plane game or if u like arcade,and u can fly in ww1 planes in cockpit view too,it change and it is fun,but that is all.
for a simulator lover ,my advice is : don't buy!!

6-16 planes to unlock ,49 missions.(49 missions,one good point for the game,very long to finish all,but too easy,even if in max difficulty,some missions can be hard but not really very very hot,the best is to start the game in highest difficulty : ace)


7- multiplayers : in fact i just did a few games and ...a nightmare so bad,so not nice ,so unrealistic...that i stop to played it quickly!!impossible to shoot a plane with the machine guns!!!a little damages,that's all!!it is easier to shoot a plane in bop!!!even in bop arcade where u need a lot of bullets to shoot one!!the few kills i did in air conf and the only kills i saw from the others players(i met i think 12 or 13 others players)were made by ... the rockets!!!!crazy!!

8- my personnal general opinion : 9/20 (and i'm very kind!)

if u don't know ,buy or not buy ,it can help u,even if it is just my opinion but the official critics seems just a little better but not a lot.

sincerely

Agree with your comments on this Oli. My copy was delayed when they delivered the PC version by mistake and I had to wait while I posted it back and they sent PS3 replacent. During that delay the price of the game dropped by half and if I had waited I could have got it for £14.99

Its very poor. The only redeeming features are the fact it supports 3D TVs and Playstation Move. Graphics are quite nice but the controls are really bad. Full speed climb in any aircraft results in an instant stall warning. Dogfights are basically a case of spinning round with one eye on the radar looking for red dots.

All in all if BoP is a ferrari and Heroes Over Europe is a Lada then this game is a Micra. Looks ok but you wouldn't pick it unless nothing else was available
