This game can start off frustrating, but it grows on you. This game calls all warbird lovers!
People say that landing is difficult, shooting planes is diffucult, and bombing is difficult, but it's all about practice. Now for the worst feature. If you play a mission, win or lose, you usually cannot replay/retry it. This gets annoying in the first few since it's kinda dumb that you can fail the training mission!!! But once you start completing 4-6 missions in a row perfectly, it dosen't bother you to fail a few missions. It's good that you can withdrawl from the mission if you don't think you can do it (or your plane is about to blow up). This ensures that you won't fail the mission, and your air force still has a chance at winning the war.
The mission structure is not akward as gamespot says, it is very fun and military-based. Sure, the text is very small when reading, but you can get used to that. Also, the exiciting music adds to the great gameplay. It's even better if you're a warbird lover like me, because you can know which planes are good for which types of missions.
Overall, it's a very good game. Practice Practice Practice! If you fail a campaign, you can always try again.
