The controls can feel simple in 'Simplified' mode (hence the name) but actual command over the plane feels edgy, especially when your plane is driving through flack. A combination of any can make for insane difficulty. As well, you can set fuel and ammo on unlimited, limited fuel, limited ammo, and limited fuel/ammo. 'Simulator' gives the player the full effect available of feeling like they are in control of a WWII era plane in battle. 'Realistic' setting provides more physics and less arcade, while providing more simplistic settings. This seems best suited for typical controllers. There is 'Simplified' for those that want a simple control set-up. This game really has a lot.īirds of Steel has several settings, rather than selecting difficulty. There is plenty of arcadeness (if that is a word) for the person who wants to just shoot and kill. There is plenty of ability to control the game for those who want a simulation. There is plenty of history in the story for the history buffs. It connects several genres of flight games and turns it all into a swirling story of flight and fight during World War II. But over-all, if you are seeking a great flight game for whatever console, this is the game to get.īirds of Steel is pretty amazing. I would have given it five stars, but it is lacking in some areas. Birds of Steel is an amazing flight sim mixed with a aerial fighter game.
