IL-2 is yet another Ubisoft masterpiece. With 229 Flyable WWII aircraft, after all expansions, no other game matches the variety that IL-2 does. Better than decent graphics and gameplay that works for both rookies and aces alike make this game a whole lot of fun. probably the most appealing aspect of the game (at least for me) is the damage simulator. Your aircraft will break apart from where the bullets are hitting not from some set point. And the best part? Addons are still being made, IL-2 Cliffs of Dover was released in early 2011, and although its not an addon in the same way as Pacific Fighters or Sturmoviks over Manchuria its made by the same people and is a similar game. The biggest issue that I came across playing IL-2 is that after a while all those aircraft loose their appeal. In fact some times it feels as thought there are a lot fewer planes than advertised, and that's because different models of the same plane count as different aircraft, there are at least 10 versions of the A6M Zero. Also the game's mission editor is very buggy and far from intuitive. But once you get passed all that the game, and I use game loosely because it's really more a simulator, can be lodes of fun. Just one thing though, you will need a joystick. keyboard and mouse just aren't gonna do it for this one.
