I liked how they made the control scheme in the game accessible for those who are not hardcore flight-sim fans.

I played the game with a standard controller and I have zero complaints. The missions are a lot of fun, but towards the end of the campaign, they do start to repeat. You also have missions where you need to take out boats on the sea and there are missions where you need to destroy land targets such as machine guns. There are dog fight missions that take place in the air with you fighting other aircraft. The missions tend to follow a standard path. Shooting Them All DownĪs you progress through the campaign of Birds of Steel, you will take part in battles from both sides of the war. I enjoyed the way it walked a fine line between being like an action movie you would see on HBO and a documentary that would air on the Discovery Channel. It is mainly about the battles between the USA and Japan over the Pacific including such battles as Pearl Harbor and Wake Island. The game has a fantastic campaign that in many ways feels like a history lesson with its classy narration in-between missions. They have managed to make a game that is realistic and pays great respect to history, but not at the expense of the game being a great deal of fun. I have played more than a few of these and I would probably put this one near the top. Birds of Steel is a fantastic flight sim that is set during World War II.
