I should probably preface my review by saying that I got this game free with a PC many, many years ago, and had no intention ever of buying it. However, it did allure me by what my 10-year old self viewed as a rather ridiculous concept for a game, so one day, I popped it in my computer and gave it a whirl. Needless to say, while I didn't really have much of a clue what I was doing, I spent hours on that game, largely crashing the plane into buildings and generally being impressed that they had managed to make the game quite fun through its technical marvel and impressive faithfulness to trying to recreate the flying experience. I don't know much about flying, ... Read the complete review

Even though it's a bit outdated now, for it's time this is a totally amazing PC flight simulator. If you can manage to get your hands on it now, usually under a budget label, it's perfect for people with lower spec PCs. The game includes over 3000 airports including major international airports, regional airports, airstrips and private airfields. All of the airports have correct runway positions and correct radio and navigation frequencies like ILS and more. Each airport comes with a small amount of Air Traffic Control but nothing special, that's one of the areas where ... Read the complete review

However good the professionals say flight simulator is, it just is so boring. Yeah I can see the real aviation pilots finding it fun, it’s their job. But whereas in real life you can see the breath taking scenery here the graphics are so poor that all you can see is something that vaguely looks likes land and sea. The houses though are the worst part about this game because you can actually land on them and the print of the house is still there. Also there is no other aircraft in the sky unless you join up on the web! And there is no air traffic control to guide you to your destination. Read the complete review

The Microsoft Flight-Sim series has always been popular with it's simple approach to the simulation genre. If you've been hiding under a rock for 10 years it may interest you to know that in the flight-sim series, you basically fly in a variety of civilian aircraft from A to B in a realistic environment. Flight Sim 98 is no exception and provides you with several civilian aircraft to play around with in locations all around the world. The graphics are nothing special but do give a sense of height as you are flying at 30,000ft in a Boeing 737. However the gameplay fails to captivate you enough to spend hours flying from London to New York. One of the things ... Read the complete review
