Battle of Europe is an "arcade-style" 3D flight sim--meaning that if you're looking for accurate simulation of the flight characteristics of WWII era aircraft, well, you won't find that here. On the other hand, if you want a fast-moving, easy-to-learn game that lets you soar above war-torn Europe and blast away at Messershmitts, it may be just the ticket. The problem with "sim-style" flight sims, after all, is that just learning how to land and takeoff--let alone be effective in a dog-fight--is a major undertaking in its own right. For a "pick up and play" air combat game, Battle of Europe is pretty slick.
