I've been playing now for 2 hours straight, the only reason I'm posting is to let my xbox cool down (If I got the RROD right now I'm afraid I would cry like a 13 year old girl at a Jonas Brothers concert).
This game is amazing! It more than beats my expectations of what could be done on a console. The enemy fighters are not very difficult I'll give you that (but I'm still on the Battle of Britan, hopefully it gets harder as you go like most console games). The graphics are amazing, I never thought there could be so much action going on with the 360's antiquated hardware without slowdown.
I only have 2 complaints (wishes really). I really wanted there to be a video replay option (the graphics are too good & this is a waste IMHO). I also wish that you could play in simulator mode with the visual cues (even sitting right in front of my 32" plasma it is just too hard to find/recognize targets in Sim). I know it is supposed to make it more realistic, but hardware can not reproduce (and probably never will) what the human eye can see/correct in your brain.
I can't say anything about multi as the servers in the US have not been turned on yet (I assume they will be up on the 8th). But as for now I am blown away by what they have done as far as a sim on a console. Major kudos to Anton & the rest of the team on an effort that has passed my expectaions beyond my wildest dreams.
Oh god, I feel a tear comming on....don't look it's too embarassing
