Advantages: Awesome detail, good fun and seems very realistic

Disadvantages: Good system spec required, patience for long flights is requied

Microsoft Flight Sim was one of the games I played when I was really young, it has been around for a long time and it's given them a lot of experience to make and develop a really excellent game.

Gameplay can be a little daunting at first - if you want to jump in and get flying you'll probably find yourself either unable to take off, or if you do take off you'll be unable to land. There are several simple tutorials designed to teach you the basics, I would thoroughly recommend running through these to get you used to the cockpit and the controls. After a few basic lessons on taxiing, taking off, landing and flight control - you can head onto some of the missions.

The set missions are good fun and there are plenty to keep you entertained for a good amount of time! They are categorised into their ease, starting at the easier ones allows you to learn your new skills and the controls - and are still very fun.

If you want to create some of your own flights you can pick from a massive selection of airports. This is quite good fun flying over famous landmarks and seeing airports you know of - all this is enhanced by excellent and details graphics. By default the game set my details settings quite low, I increased this and there was no loss in stability but the increase in detail made the game so much more fun and realistic.

It is quite an advised game, so it's definitely worth ensuring your system meets the minimum requirements before you buy it!

Summary: If you're into this kind of game and have a good PC, you'll love it!
