I'm pretty sure it's birds of prey that's coming out on xbox, and judging by first impressions, it seems more like an arcade style game than a simulator. Don't get me wrong, I like arcade-style games, they can be a nice change of pace from the realism, but I get the feeling Il-2 is starting to lean more and more to the rising popularity of arcade-style flight games, and eventually, this could lead to the demise of the home simulator. There will always be people who appreciate the sims, like me, but there may be less and less sims on the shelves in the coming years. I think Il-2 should stick to it's roots and just make another sim with more planes, better graphics (which is one thing all arcade games have had better than sims), and better sound. I know you can get most of what I just said at AAA and other sites, but it would just be nicer to not have to go through the hassle of installing a bunch of new things, and sometimes something can go wrong and cause your game to always crash at a certain point. This is just my opinion, though. Other people may feel differently.
