Crimson Skies for Windows

Pros: Strong story. No technical flight-sim distractions. Fast paced action with a little strategy thrown in. Excellent sound and full of colourful voice acting. Entertaining aircraft designer sequence.
Cons: Aircraft graphics a little jagged. Some speech a bit repetitive.

Flight Sims - You either love 'em or hate 'em. Of course recently the term "flight sim" has loosened a little to stretch from the classical meaning which usually involves a cockpit, some seriously complex controls and several...

Pros: A fabulous installation.
Cons: The same old storyline of me yelling at my computer is getting really old now...how many sequels are they going to make?!

After reading some good things about this game, and craving some good air combat, I picked up this game. At $29.99 it seemed like a reasonable price. And then I got the package in the mail.

I've tried to boot this game 10 times, and 10...

Pros: Fun, unique single player experience.
Cons: performance issues: 1Gb+ full install...

***UPDATE***
After getting fed up with the gui memory leak and other in-game performance issues, I decided to play with my swap file settings. The game requires a minimum of 250Mb's worth of swapfile which I had when I got the game. Zipper...

Pros: graphics, smooth flying
Cons: will get a little tedious, really hard at first

Normally, I am not really into flight simulations. The other night, I was at a friends place, participation in a LAN session. Everyone was playing this new game, Crimson Skies. I thought "why not, it looks nice I will give it a go". As...

Pros: Excellent graphics, engaging story, enjoyable gameplay
Cons: buggy, requires serious power

I admit it.

I don't like flying sim games.

However, I do love fast paced action games and when the trailers for Crimson Skies showed the world in an alternate 1930's with Indiana Jones style characters, I had to give it a shot. I...

Pros: Good story, enjoyable gameplay.
Cons: Too many bugs.

Well, since Alkaiser couldn't get this game to run on his system, he gave it to me to mess with since Ebworld.com doesn't take returns, much like every other game store in existance. I put it in, and it booted, but I really can't say it was anything...

Pros: The Perfect Dogfighting Game!
Cons: You'll need 256M RAM to really appreciate it

This game is the best dogfighting game ever made, and I don't say this lightly! I have played them all! What else can I say; I'm addicted and you will be too!

To quickly summarize, it is like "Wing Commander" with sweet-looking...

Pros: Awesome game, Graphics, sound, very addictive, tons of options, GODLIKE multiplayer!
Cons: Long loading times, some people will have trouble running it.

I First saw this game in an add a few weeks before it came out in a magazine, and it looked interesting, so I kept my eye on it. As soon as it was out, i went out to my local EBX and picked up a copy for $40.00. and let me tell you, its one of the best...

Pros: Great graphics, fun game-play which can keep you occupied for months, creative, great installation
Cons: two modes for single player, controls hard to master; joystick recommended

Crimson Skies brings you the ultimate in flying and shooting sims. The graphics are great, the story is a new theme, and the game-play is easy. Basically, Crimson Skies raises the bar for the standard on flying/shooting simulators. I bought this game...

Pros: Love the style - Back to the 30s we go!
Cons: System requirements *Blah*

I am not by far your typical run of the mill flight sim-playing gamers. In fact I enjoy 1st and 3rd person RPGs more then any other type game on the market, but when Crimson Skies was on sale for Christmas I just had to buy it for my husband who is by...

Pros: Nice graphics, Fun Gameplay, Cool Planes.
Cons: Online gaming is horrible

Crimson Skies would be a wonderful game all around if multiplayer online gaming weren’t so poor. Here is my statistics after 20 Team Death Matches, 10 Capture the Flag, and 10 regular Death Matches played online (Microsoft Gaming Zone is the only place...

Pros: Fun,exciting, and something different
Cons: Slow menu navigation, sometimes crashes

I bought this came for $39.99 canadian.
After wanting to play it for so long I finally shelled out the coin.
The installation went very well, and I loaded up the game to find one of the slowest menus ever.
The mouse pointer moves ever so...

Pros: Easy to learn, some replay value
Cons: Some mission too challenging, clipping could use work

As a fan of alternative history, and also a fan of what I consider "old school" flight simulators, I greatly looked forward to Crimson Skies when I first read about it. I purchased it as soon as it came out, and immediately fired it up on my...

Pros: Beautifully rendered sceneries and cool planes
Cons: stupid story line

Like most gamers I approached this game with skepticism. The idea of flying fictional airplanes over the continental United States and Hawaii during 1937 ust didn't seem to be a good idea for a game. I actually got this game after a friend gave it to me...

Pros: Flying,racing,killing,crazyness
Cons: loading time of mission is slow

I had not intentions of getting this game I don't buy flight sims and I am not that fond of air fighter games. I was actually looking for another software title and this one just happened to be set up on a system so I gave it a try, one try at flying a...
