There is a huge learning curve for those without sticks compatible for the consoles (as I don't have any flight sticks. I signed on and waited forever on a page with guys ranked way higher than my level one. There is an online mode that I have not been able to play. These include planes and decals for those planes. Even edging water with your wing has a realistic sound (I tried it before I slammed into a Japanese destroyer on a torpedo run). Supposedly they went far and beyond to find the correct engine and weapon sounds for every plane in the game. The most amazing part of the sound comes from the stories told of the engineers of Birds of Steel. Intertwined with these are classical pieces that give an aerial feeling to the play.
There are your typical generic "going to war" video game musical pieces. The sounds of the game are as epic as one could expect. For the adventurists, I here you can plug in even the most basic PS3 compatible flight sticks and they work great with this game. The actual ability to change throttle and such brings a realism never experienced on consoles in such completeness. At the simplest moments in this mode, such as taking on targets trough dogfights, bombings, torpedo runs or aircraft carrier landings, this game plays like your classic Top Gun for the NES with better sound and graphics. The controls can feel simple in "Simplified" mode (hence the name) but actual command over the plane feels edgy, especially when your plane is driving through flack. A combination of any can make for insane difficulty. As well, you can set fuel and ammo on unlimited, limited fuel, limited ammo, and limited fuel/ammo. "Simulator" gives the player the full effect available of feeling like they are in control of a WWII era plane in battle. "Realistic" setting provides more physics and less arcade, while providing more simplistic settings. This seems best suited for typical controllers. There is "Simplified" for those that want a simple control set-up.
This game really has a lot.īirds of Steel has several settings, rather than selecting difficulty. There is plenty of arcadeness (if that is a word) for the person who wants to just shoot and kill. There is plenty of ability to control the game for those who want a simulation. There is plenty of history in the story for the history buffs. It connects several genres of flight games and turns it all into a swirling story of flight and fight during World War II. But over-all, if you are seeking a great flight game for whatever console, this is the game to get.īirds of Steel is pretty amazing. I would have given it five stars, but it is lacking in some areas. Birds of Steel is an amazing flight sim mixed with a aerial fighter game.
