Summary
As the biggest software company in the world, it comes as no surprise that Microsoft has also developed a games division as well as developing business software. While Microsoft have many games coming out of their studios, covering a number of genres, the company will perhaps be best known for its experience with flight simulators. On the combat side of things, Microsoft has produced and marketed both the Europe and Pacific editions of the Combat Flight Simulator. These games proved to be successful enough for a bundle of the two games to be released for fans of the genre.
These two Microsoft games are home to some of the most accurate simulations of their kind available. First of all, to be accurate, they must have realistic environments and surroundings, and for both games, the visuals look amazing. They are highly detailed and modelled brilliantly, but as a consequence, both games perform better on high spec machines that not all people are in possession of. Second of all, and most importantly, both games have very good mechanics. There are a variety of controllable planes, including the infamous Spitfire Mark 1, all of which handle uniquely and precisely. However, such accurate game mechanics often require heavy numbers of controls, and the Combat Flight Simulator games are no exception. To compensate for inexperienced players, there is an intensive tutorial session available that will take you through the ins and outs of flight control.
With literally hundreds of missions to participate in, the two games make a desirable purchase to fans of the genre and collectors of the Microsoft Simulator games.
