The game is worth every bit of the $29.99 price tag it carries...that is assuming you enjoy plane simulators.
Heroes of the Pacific cures all of those problems. This is a user friendly game with in-game training to make it even more of an enjoyable experience. The graphics are great; one of those games where it is fun to be a "passenger" while your buddy plays, or play with/against your friend. Plenty of unlockables and many missions. Give it a chance if you're thinking of adding some diversity to your videogame collection.
