I was in Game Station today and I noticed a new flight sim Heros over Europe, has anyone played this? Is it any good?

The graphics aren't nearly as nice as IL2 - and the game is ARCADEY.

Arcadey as in, a LOT more arcadey than Arcade mode in IL2.

Its like blazing angels.... on acid!!

Its the sequel (i think??) to the original xbox game heros of the pacific. It wont be anywhere near as good as IL2.

Metacritic for Heroes over Europe 62%
Metacritic for IL2-BOP 80%

From OXM UK "With IL-2 asserting impressive air superiority in the last month or so, there's no reason to pick up this ropier and less satisfying interpretation of the same conflict. Technically unimpressive and snooze-inducing, it's less "chocks away" and more "chock this in the bin"

Looks like I'll be steering clear then!

it has a Slow mo ability allowing you to zoom in and target a specific area and knock it out in a single shot.

I have "Heroes of the Pacific" for the PS2 and it's a pretty fun game even though it was VERY arcadey. Even had a cockpit view... so I'm not sure what went wrong with this sequel?? I heard the developer ran into some money problems, so I'm sure that was part of it...
