Room 4 Improvement, Needs Updated Patches, Still OK!Review created: 01/09/08

I gave in and purchased this for the desire to sit in front of a HE111. I have had this game for about 2 weeks now, and so some of the feedback given, will lack depth. The interface of setting up the allotment of fighters, bombers, and dive bombers really needs to be redone...The manual is in the form of a PDF thats installed in the BoB folder & I have yet, to print it out to fine tune the complex interaction. BoB2 as it is known, is a ok flight game. There are too many points in which, one can pick at to death about the bugs that still exists, and at times, this game will just stop and crash. Dissapointing as it can seem, I still enjoy the other positive aspect of this game.
One thing that really bugs the hell out of me, is that if ANY game that comes out, esp. something like this, they really need to have a frekkin' person that can speak the German language, not the 50% Hollywood garbage...ugh.
The passing sounds of Spitfire & Hurricanes sounds nice, it gives off a presence of admiration that makes you go "whoa". Being inside the HE111 the engine sounds is more generic than anything.
The positive side...pretty decent graphics...my enjoyment comes in the form of anticipation more than anything else...I'm sitting in the nose of the HE111 taking in the fantastic view of the horizon, the formation of other bombers, group of 109's above and seeing the England's coastline coming up. I'm at my desk, eating dinner while approaching the the shores. You can see in a distance a group of faded black dots approaching...it gives me anough time to finish the dinner, and get set.
I do wish the AI is more challenging, rather than just sitting behind the formation and try to sneak up behind you. Yawn...once in a while, a close encounter will occur.
When the aircraft gets damaged to the point of it being all over, it either goes in a tailspin, or you find yourself bailed out, not by choice...bummer...it would of been nice to be able to ride out the descent of a dying aircraft in a more realistic fashion...
Graphics - Very Good
Interface - Eh
Value Gameplay - Good
But it for $39 to $49? Nooooooo
If the developers decide to come out with BoB3, they really need to make adjustment on a serious note...half stepping it is not going to do it...there will be other games that will surpass a misguided improvement.
Thanks for your time here

Might be a good game... IF you can get it to work!!!6 of 9 people found this review helpful.
After 5 solid days of trying to get this game to launce on my desktop I've given up. I'll toss it in the "does not work on my rig" bin and call it day. This is the second time I've been burnt by this title. I never could get Battle of Britain to work either. Now before you start throwing bricks let me tell you that I've built and rebuilt numerous computers BY HAND! I'm not some pathetic old geezer that can't turn on a toaster without gettin the sweats.
No the game was half finished out the box and is a disaster. I'll give the developer credit thought they TRIED to help me, but the thing is just poor product. Avoid unless you've more patience than I.

The game I paid good money for refuses to install.
) I have no idea what the game is like. I am confronted by one of the things that drives me crazy about this industry. My computer, which is only two years old, apparently has an inadequate video card, and the game won't install because my video card doesn't seem to support something called pixel 1.1 shading.
Instead of allowing the game to install with some of the graphics features disabled, it refuses to even install.
This industry has never given a damn about the consumer.

) The game had a good price and arrived in good time. It is not as good playing it as I thought but that is not the seller's fault. They are good people to do business with. There was a good description if the game but of course how a person likes or dis-likes the game is up to the individual and the seller can't know that. It is a fairly good game it's just there is not good vision from the cockpit view. This makes it very difficult to spot the enemies. Other wise a good game with good graphics.
