Very Basic...no...Really Baisc

Okay, let's see, how can I put this in a nice way. B17 Gunner: Air War Over Germany is basic. Very basic. Incredibly basic. Well...okay, it's arcade basic. B17 Gunner: etc, etc.... besides having a long title for a basic game, is in itself, such a...basic...game its not funny. In the least, it's dull. I find this game a fair filler to kill sometime at home, while waiting for my laundry to finish a load. But other than that, there is nothing of "value" regarding a game dealing with the subject.

This game doesn't fall into the flight sim category, even though it is sometimes listed as such. You do no flying in the game, just gunnery. And it's gunnery where there is a spot available. You have a choice of positions, but as the crew begin to die off, your choices slip as fast.

The graphics are basic, the dialogue is fun the first few times and the music is, frankly, lame.

For me, I bought this because I like having these types of games in my collection for the era they represent. But it was a surprise to find it to be so...basic. Pick this game up if you got some extra cash just burning a whole in your pocket. Other wise, pass on it.
