This writer was recently curious the other day about the competition out there in the combat flight simulator market. I mean, besides Aces High, which we know is the best, what else is out there for flight sim gamers to play?
Well, the busiest of the competition seems to be the Total Simulation Series. Busy because they offer a variety of games that include:
- WarBirds
- Battleground Europe
- M4 Tank Brigade
- Red Baron 2012
- Dogfight 2012
That, my friends is a whole bunch of games produced by one company. If you download them and play for a while some observations come to mind. One has excellent graphics; another has very good reaction time with the controls. A couple have very good skins of their aircraft while one other has a great looking 3D cockpit and responsive weapons.
The entire series has some online help that in a limited way helps to explain the details of the game and aid you, the player, in playing better and improving against the competition.
What none of them had, however, and we are talking about all the games in the Total Sim Series, was the complete package. Each had its strengths and each had its weaknesses, but none of the games in the series delivered a full package. That point right there is what makes Aces High stand out among them all.
You see, when the braintrust at HiTech Creations made Aces High they vowed to only make one game and one game only and make that game the best World War 2 Flight Simulator on the market. By combining their collective talent into the making and revising of only one game they were able to achieve what Total Simulation Series never has achieved, namely a complete game with everything a serious gamer could hope for.
If you still have doubts then do this: download the free two-week trial of Aces High and find out for yourself. You will not be asked for a credit card when you do so; we want you to experience hassle-free the joys of Aces High and then we are willing to bet that you will want to continue to Fly the Skies of Aces High.
Of course, you can always play WarBirds or Battleground Europe but seriously, why play the second or third best combat flight sim when Number One is available for free for two weeks? Sign up now and find out for yourself.
