"Focusing on the oft-neglected Eastern Front of World War II, IL-2 Sturmovik managed to distinguish itself with great visuals and the most realistic and sensitive flight model around. Whether flying CAP above the brilliant clouds or flying nap of the earth for some up-close tank busting action, the game really puts players in the cockpit like no other game before or since. Sturms, Yaks and MiGs may not have the cachet that Mustangs and Spitfires have, at least in America or Western Europe, but they're every bit as challenging and exciting to fly. IL-2 proves it beautifully." - IGN
