Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a game in the flight-sim genre. There is a lot of gameplay here, but you need to work at it! If you are new to this flight sim series, definitely do the training offered in the beginning, and pay particular attention to how the views work. After completing the training, fly the campaign missions which lead you through 1-v-1,2-v-2,3-v-3 scenarios, on up to massive aerial battles with hundreds of aircraft in the air! On the higher levels, the AI is particularly deadly. There are also "bonus" instant-action missions which become available after you reach a certain level in the campaign, as well as lots of additional training missions, and "free flight" modes. In general, the offline portion of the game can be a lot of fun!

While the offline campaign play is great for honing your fighter-pilot skills, you must try out the online game to really get the "Warbirds Experience". The game offers a free 30-day online account (click go online, and then account setup). Online, you will find lots of players from around the world who, besides shooting you down, will also offer help and assistance.

The graphics, while not jaw-dropping, are decent and well designed for the flight-sim genre. The interface isn't as smooth as it could be, but functions well enough. "
