This game is a steal at 26 dollars! Hours of fun to be had, and you may just learn something, too, with it's loosely historically based plot lines and planes. Great musical score, too! Almost no shortcomings in this game, and a much needed shot in the arm to the genre!

If you Love WWII Planes and History, this ones for you.

The Battle Hawks, Flying Tigers, Sceamin' Eagles, Zeks, Betties, 190's! If you know your WWII planes and history this game is very fun. Well put together and tons of fun missions. A game more for the adult than kids due to the complexity of the gaming and story line.

I love it!

We enjoy this game since it is challenging enough for both the adults in the household and our 4 year old.

Wonderful.

A great game for hours of fun

I have always loved the aircraft of WWII and will always give any game that is based around those aircraft a try. Sometimes I stumble upon a jewel and sometimes not. In this case I found a great game.

One of the aspects about this game that I enjoyed the most was that there is such a huge variety of aircraft that you can fly. Most flight games set in that era include the popular craft; P-51 Mustang, Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, etc. What sets Secret Weapons Over Normandy appart is that you can fly some of the less popular craft as well such as the Yakovlev Yak-1, the Messerschmitt Me 163 Comet and Me 262, a Fairey Swordfish, and even some experamental planes of the time such as the Voight XF5U-1 Flying Pancake and the Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender.

The controls are simple and easy to learn, there are lots of training missions that are not necessary to advance the plot but do play into the plot quite nicely.

Graphics are good but not great. They could be a lot better but the gameplay makes up for it. Targets are easy to identify, text is easy to read, although graphics for the aircraft are much better than graphics for ground forces.

My biggest gripe about the game is how inaccurate it is. I understand that in order to not make the game repetitive that some things, like ammo or bomb/rocket load, must increase. However to load 5 2000lbs. bombs under a P-51 or 12 torpedos under a Swordfish is just absurd. Also simple things like aircraft speed should have had more attention.

I enjoyed this game, if you like fairly simple games that are just plain fun to play then I think you'll enjoy this game too.

One of the greatist World War 2 games I have ever played

If you are a WWII Fan and new into games, you will enjoy this one, a little bit old but still very rewarding, you fly missions in Europe, the Pacific Ocean and over the snow covered Stalingrad among others

I still haven't seen any reviews mention that for Star Wars Fans this game has a big surprise once you succesfully achieve all missions

This game Rocks!

this is a great game. if you're looking for a realistic flight sim then you probably won't like this game. the controls are very simple and easy to learn. someone who reviewed said that they couldn't save their game. i don't know what they're talking about though. maybe they have a problem with their memory card. anyways this is a great game if you're just looking for a fun time... if you're looking for a realistic game this is not it. (you can even get a tie fightere and x-wing if you beat the game)

Disappointing!

This game could've been much more fun. The graphics is hideous, looks like PS1 game. The ammunition/cannon effect is cheesy. The wing flaps and rudder don't turn. The control is super stiff, airplanes act like future jet fighters. The replay engine is lame! It only shows the last 20 seconds of the action or when/how you died! ALL GERMAN AIRCRAFTS are not sporting the Nazi symbol thus killing historical authenticity; Its probably because Whore Hey Lucas is Jewish.

Despite all these flaws this game is still pretty decent, nothing more. However I did like the super zoom in close camera which allows the pilot to see enemy aircrafts up close.

Overall if you're looking for a WW2 aircraft game get Heroes Of The Pacific.

What the hell is this supposed to be?

This game is annoying and loud. And I'm sick of the ugly planes and that stupid Rose girl. Can't she do anything by herself? Why do you need to save her all the time? This game is just so obnoxious. I thought I was going to heave. And I hate how they make all these female characters so useless and how they can't do anything by themselves. This game is rediculous. Save your money. You won't be sorry. And neither will I. Because I love you! :)

this game is a waste of money

I can't believe how bad this game is. If you buy it don't say I didn't warn you.
