Even the most sanguine air combat adherent will have to strain to find Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII’s virtues. Neither faithful simulation nor sinuous but simple arcade romp, the game is a curious collision, exhibiting the worst of both genres.

"Mad Catz bundles its new AV8R Flightstick peripheral with a WWII flight sim"
Gaming Union: "Damage Inc. is a flight game which seems a little bit confused. Some strong attention to detail has been paid to some aspects of the game, like the historical accuracy. However, when it comes to the gameplay and mechanics, things start to fall down. There are numerous arcade elements thrown in there, but simulation elements also appear at other times, and it makes for a game that can get rather tedious sometimes. The controls also struggle, although the AV8R flight stick at least offers some respite. It's issues like this that shouldn't be there and stop Damage Inc. from being a solid game."
Wow. Shot down in flames. I'm wondering how Mad Catz is still around.
Crazy range in review scores on this one. Ive seen 8.5-3.0
"Regretfully, Damage Inc's moniker also describes its visuals."
That's low.
Well, at least the stick works, right?
