Microsoft Flight Simulator X Reviews

Of course, for those of you with high-end PCs, the choice is yours. Perhaps when Windows Vista arrives next year with the software enhancements (e.g., new DirectX), Flight Simulator X might be worth picking up at that point. Until then, make your flight plans go direct to Flight Simulator 9.

IGN

Others may decide to put up with less-than-stellar performance to be able to enjoy the amazing content and plethora of rich experiences that Flight Simulator X offers. What is not arguable is that Flight Simulator X provides a quantity and quality of flight simulation capabilities that would be amazing in a product that costs twice the price.

GameSpot

Flight Simulator X: Acceleration adds a respectable amount of content to the original Flight Simulator X, especially for the $30 price tag. Although you only receive three new aircraft, they offer significantly different flight experiences and challenges that are exemplified by the new, well-designed, and interesting single-player missions. The new multiplayer racing capability alone could justify the purchase of this expansion pack. Anyone who owns Flight Simulator X would be hard-pressed not to add this exceptional expansion to his or her library.
