Down in Flames

Had connection problems with DSL

User Rating: 6.6 | Down in Flames PC

The game is pretty cool, except i can't stay connected to there stupid server. The game has the idle timer like AOL, and it disconnects me all the time! regardless if I'm in a game or not. They told me it was something on my end, but i play lots of online games, and never have a problem. I am disconnected about every 10 min.

I love the game concept, the airplanes are nice looking, and there is a role-playing element with your flight crews. Actually, I am obsessed with the game, and it really sucks they have what seems like only one server...a long ways away ! I live in Denver. If you live east coast, I think you would be OK .

With shipping, at this time, it costs like, $43. Only from them.

I would have given it a lot better score if i could play online without the disconnect headaches, because it is fun . 10/4/06
I now have comcast cable, had DSL before. Works fine. Good game!
