I'm waiting for my copy to arrive from bestbuy.com, I'll post after I get it.
From what I've read elsewhere the online play is pretty blah. The fighting area is too restrictive and forces you to mainly fly and fight at lower altitudes. It still looks cool to me(I love WW2 airplanes), and I'm also looking forward to ubisoft's Blazing Angels which comes out in March of next year(european theatre fighters).

I picked this up during the TRU B2G1F sale. Only played it a little bit, but so far I like it. Lots of enemy aircraft to fight, decent graphics, I am biased as I do like WW2 planes...
I will post more later, after I get more play time in, too amy games to play!

Its OK. I haven't had time to play on Live, but the single player is cut and dry flying missions.... Defend, Attack, Escort. Controls are pretty good. I had the hardest time completing the training missions, but have had no problem with the campaign.
What really annoys me is that the plot borrows heavily from the Pearl Harbor movie, which isn't a good thing.
At 29.99, its a decent value if you like flight action games and enjoy the WW2 era.

Same here, on both counts.
