The game is fun, best WWII flight sim on xbox. I havn't played it all the way through, so I can't say how it turns out. The flight dynamics are good, the planes look great, and it is challenging without being a total bust. The dogfights are great, and Battle of Britan with hundreda of planes over London is really cool. Messerschmidt 262 is a beast! So, if you're REALLY into WWII, and have to be in a plane over London or Berlin, on xbox, this is your best bet. BUT...if you want all out kick-butt, never want to stop playing, OMG this is insane, seat of your pants action in a FPS, get Call of Duty4/Modern Warfare, or the equally insane Call of Duty/Modern Warfare2. The reason I haven't played IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey all the way through is I've been unable to stop playing COD/MW2, and the previous release, COD4/MW, game of the year last year. Both are extremely well done in playability and overall design. Oh, just an FYI, if you're thinking of a race sim type game, Forza3 is a good choice. I like race sims, but I'm not Mario Andretti, so the frustration of continually crashing, and having to restart the races was not so good. Forza3 has a nice feature, it's called 'rewind'. What a great idea, you just push the < button on your controller, and the race rewinds 15 seconds. Not enough?...push it again. Makes first place finishes a regular thing. The game looks fantastic too. Lots of expensive German and Italian steel and leather none of us normal humans will ever be able to own. Lots of well thought out and interfaced driver assists too, for all of us whose reflexes are not quite what they used to be. Get more detail about IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey.
