Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000

The Good
As I said in my review for the game "Plane Crazy" I am not a fan of flight simulators and this was another simulator that I got with my computer so I am not a big fan of this game. However, the graphics for this game are good and there is a wide variety of planes to fly including Concorde.

The Bad
The main thing I don't like about this game are the controls. They are way to complicated(look at the list of controls and you'll find that there are over 100 of them!!) I found controlling a plane in the game next to impossible with so many actions to perform and a screen that is over half full of dials it is just not possible.

The graphics in the game are good but there is one thing that I noticed. When flying over cities there are only certain buildings that are 3D (e.g Empire State Building in New York) most of the other less important buildings are only 2D and when you are up in the air look nothing more than just a flat area of brown. This just seems stupid to me because so much time has been put into the controls and the realism of flying that the creators seem to have forgotten about graphical detail.

The Bottom Line
If you are into flight simulators then this is a dream come true. If you are not into flight simulators or want a simulator just to muck about with then stay from this one because it is way to complex and almost impossible to fly a plane.
