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...

I unfortunately got this yesterday.
Good points,
1. The artwork is top notch, menus and cutscenes- the graphic artists did an excellent job here.
2. The graphics are very good, the ground detail seems slightly better than il-2 although the color palate me be less realistic.

Unfortunately,
1. The 3rd person view is nauseating, the point of view shifts around behind the aircraft and the crosshair moves slightly around the screen.
2. No Radar.
3. No free look. You get a button for rear view or you can hit select button and pan around while flying in a straight line.


Thats about all I could find , I only flew 2 missons the stopped playing when I
was required to shoot mines out of the path of friendly vessels.

Apparently the upper management decided to ship an unfinished game.

Out of the box Heroes over Europe has three strikes against it.
First; there's only a third person chase view available. No cockpit view or first person HUD view.
Second; there's no replay feature.
Thirdly (and this is the worst omission HoE has to offer); there is no flight stick support, even for the PC version, and there is no controller remapping function.

Transmission Games (formally I.R.Gurus) should change their name again, ...this time to Major Malfunction Games.
