Those sims gave the player immersion not just in design and graphics, but also in the time spent perfecting flight and damage models and environment. IL2-Battle of Stalingrad is the product of a cooperative effort by 1C Publisher ( IL2-Cliffs of Dover) and 777 Studios, which developed the successful World War I flight simulator Rise of Flight. The sim offered a steep learning curve as players learned how to fly dozens of fighters from different nationalities. The first time I picked up the original IL2-Sturmovik back in 2002, I realized that the development endeavor sought to bring realism and authenticity. Those loyal to the World War II IL2 flight series may even call it a stretch to call them games. You do have the option of flying with a mouse or keyboard, but that’s like saying you can cross the Pacific Ocean in a canoe you can do it, but you will be doing yourself a big favor if you take a cruise instead. The complexity of IL2 Battle of Stalingrad almost demands that you play with a joystick setup. The IL2-Sturmovik game probably doesn’t need an introduction to most flight simmers, but to those who are hearing of it for the first time should know that this is not a game you fly with either a mouse or gamepad. Passed Inspection: Visually stunning graphics, true to life flight models from the developers’ research, variety of missions to fly from fighters and bombers.įailed Inspection: Single-player campaign missions can be repetitive, no full mission editor, cannot host multiplayer sessions, yet.
Developers: 1C Company, 777 Studios. Standard Edition: $59.99 Premium Edition: $99.99
