Bought it, played it, returned in within two days. Aside from the frequent crashing (5 times in one hour), I agree with the rest it is a disapointing game. Forgive the comparison to Ace Combat 6, which I do feel is the superiour flight sim.
Graphically it lacked realism, you know those games where they are going for realism but dont quite get it right? Sorta like that.
Controls were very simple, didnt feel like i was flying a real plane. In the levels I played I never once had a challenging dogfight and the bombing run - make sure all the diamonds are in the circle and fire? Im sorry, but no.
Story....this was the most disapointing part, I read elsewhere on the xbox forums the ending of the game was disapointing (in fact anyone care to enlighten me what it was?)
Does anyone get the feeling tom clancy is just penning his name to any old crap these days. From what im reading the last batch of TC games have been awful. His plots arent exactly enthralling, your part of an elite group blah blah, terrorist threat over there, only you can stop them. I know its the formula for a ton of games, but when its from the same man its a little tedious. Im holding out for the next splinter cell and hoping that at least is worth buying, Hawx didnt last half a week, endwar was gone the next day.
TC get your shit together!
