I have played perhaps hundreds of games. Space sims, flight simulators, and more. None came close to this. The magic of this game captures you with a story that holds you in the game, missions that make it worth your time, and graphics that were good, but today with the new open free space, it is simply awesome! But best of all, this case has the near perfect Arcade to Simulator combination. It is detailed enough with the controls, and flight to be a simulator, but not too much, that it will loose that "arcade feeling" that keeps you fighting "one more mission..." I find myself installing this game again and again, looking for new mission that the fans of the game created, and smiling every time I play it.
