Game Revolution writes: "IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is a game for only the most diehard of flight-sim aficionados or the most diehard World War II fans... or a (diehard) combination of the two. Underneath the veneer of WWII combat is a plane-sim that requires delicate control, precision, and actual skill, but who has the patience for that anymore? IL-2 is both frustrating and engaging, exhilarating and boring. Someone stop me before I start quoting Dickens." B-/A+
