Excellent--If Your PC Can Handle It

User Rating: 8.6 | Microsoft Flight Simulator X PC
Microsoft Flight Simulator X has all the flash and substance to be the next great PC program. The aircraft, environment, and scenery are just plain beautiful. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the simulator--notice I said "simulator" and not "game"--is the moving scenery (cars, trucks, watercraft) as it truly gives the aspect of being in a real world scenario. The only real issue with the simulator is the fact that it was designed for brand new computers as the sim will take a huge chunk of hard drive space (15 gigabytes). I installed it onto my laptop, which is fairly new (about a month old) and Flight Simulator X slowed it down considerably. I would recommend FSX for those who have PC's with extremely powerful processors, a massive hard drive with tons of free space, and a boatload of RAM, otherwise you won't be able to get the best from the next line of great flight simulators. Anyone who enjoys the world of aviation will love Flight Simulator X--provided their computers can handle it.
