Big fan of the series on PC, I find that there has been a lot of work on the visual ground.
In some missions, there are thirty aircraft in flight and is a treat.
Arcade mode is pretty simple and fast loop. In general, the planes do not stand for long bursts.
The Realistic mode is already more pleasant thanks to the increased difficulty where it is necessary to control the deflection. Beside that, we often went into a spin and I think the use of HOTAS be more appropriate than the PS3 pad that is much too sensitive for my taste. You can adjust this sensitivity, but then to find the ideal setting ...
Remains the Simulation mode, I have yet to unlock due to the incessant twists.
In short, overall a very good game with the difficulty and approach adapted to each type of 'pilot'.
Next step ... buying a PS3 HOTAS to make the most of the opportunities offered by the game.
