good review of FS2004

Here is an excellent review of FS2004 by Walter Hurdle. He brings up a lot of cool stuff that will wet our appetites. Here is the link: http://www.pcgameworld.com/review.ph...ury_of_Flight/

Also note that he was using 1.8 GHz, P4 and Radeon 9700 Pro with his resolution at 1280 x 1024 and not a word about those problems that others have said in prior posts. There might be hope for us after all!

Well a good review. Bascilly makes it sound like we hope it will be like if you get that... :)

The only point of his I disagree with is the one of multiplayer. Sure, I don't personally do it much, and I'm quite happy flying single player 99% of the time, but I wouldn't say it had no use. Remember the Flightsim.com vs. Avsim.com round the world competition? Well I flew in that, and I wasn't even a main competitor, a bunch of us flew one of the legs together, and it was great.

Although you don't necesarily need MP to enjoy FS to it's full extent. Like I play online racing sims quite a lot, and that's good cos you are racing real people who can make mistakes and be unpredictable, rather than the pre-programmed AI. In FS, it doesn't really matter because flying isn't a competition generally.

Good review though.

Hehe. I love his multiplayer thoughts. I guess he's never flown with 5-6 of his good friends, talking to them on BattleCom/Roger Wilco, as your group of 5 cessnas tries to navigate the storms over the plains...

In his review He mentions :

"The newest version of one of the most successful franchises in PC gaming history is now available for purchase. Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight (FSCOF) hit store shelves less than two years after the release of the 2002 version, which raises a natural question for FS fans. After investing hard-earned cash in add-ons for FS 2000 and FS 2002, is this new title really worth buying? The answer is �yes.�

Is it available to buy anywhere? if so can you please tell me where I can get a copy.

Great review I cant wait!
