Pros & Cons

  • looks decent, simple flight control
  • uneven difficulty, a bit too arcadey

Battle of Europe is a fully 3D arcade action game. Taking place in the skies over Europe, players are taken through breathtaking terrain modeled for London, Norway, Dunkirk and Berlin. A full hanger of fighters and bombers completely submerse the player in the reality of the World War II flying aces; risking their lives daily in countless dog fights, and returning home in a smoking plane littered with bullet holes …if at all.

    The Germans are rampaging across Europe and it is up to you and your fellow pilots to fight them back with World War II-era planes and even some experimental ones.

    There's definitely a fine line between arcade accessibility and accurate modeling. Even in an arcade game, a plane should fly like people who know nothing about aviation expect planes to fly.

    Battle for Europe will sap any enthusiasm that you have for the game from the very beginning and won’t do anything to generate any fun or excitement if for some reason you decide to stick with it. Look for your flight thrills elsewhere. Read more

    Game does in fact play with a joystick...Well at least mine does..using a Saitek...However played Secret Wepons of the Lufwaffen about 10 years ago and this game just dosnt stack up aginst it...seems less plane detail and just not much on the realistic front...given SWOL was a decade ago this hasnt moved on much since then...Playability wise it is good fun though but missions are to few...think there are only about 8...overall a good bud..jet :-) buy but wanted far more...
