see plane? see plane crash.

by techienerd , Jan 27 '02
Pros: good plot, involving game play. FUN!
Cons: gets redundant after a while, how many times can you blow up a plane?
all in all a great game. fun to play, and good replay value; you cant play it for LONG periods of time simply because it does get a little redundant, but you can play it for a time then come back and play it agian, trying new strategies and what not....

Crimson Skies - Great for Home, Not for Online Play

by soakingwetcat , Jul 14 '01
Pros: Nice graphics, Fun Gameplay, Cool Planes.
Cons: Online gaming is horrible
Crimson Skies would be a wonderful game all around if multiplayer online gaming weren’t so poor. Here is my statistics after 20 Team Death Matches, 10 Capture the Flag, and 10 regular Death Matches played online (Microsoft Gaming Zone is the only place...

Crimson Skies

by barber_91 , Jul 03 '01
Pros: Fun,exciting, and something different
Cons: Slow menu navigation, sometimes crashes
I bought this came for $39.99 canadian.
After wanting to play it for so long I finally shelled out the coin.
The installation went very well, and I loaded up the game to find one of the slowest menus ever.
The mouse pointer moves ever so...

Fly sky High!

by jkafer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 07 '01
Pros: Excellent graphics, engaging story, enjoyable gameplay
Cons: buggy, requires serious power
I admit it.

I don't like flying sim games.

However, I do love fast paced action games and when the trailers for Crimson Skies showed the world in an alternate 1930's with Indiana Jones style characters, I had to give it a shot. I...

Pleasantly Surprised

by AFunderJack , Jan 29 '01
Pros: Beautifully rendered sceneries and cool planes
Cons: stupid story line
Like most gamers I approached this game with skepticism. The idea of flying fictional airplanes over the continental United States and Hawaii during 1937 ust didn't seem to be a good idea for a game. I actually got this game after a friend gave it to me...

One of the best!

by trillium , Jan 02 '01
Pros: Love the style - Back to the 30s we go!
Cons: System requirements *Blah*
I am not by far your typical run of the mill flight sim-playing gamers. In fact I enjoy 1st and 3rd person RPGs more then any other type game on the market, but when Crimson Skies was on sale for Christmas I just had to buy it for my husband who is by...

Tries to be fun and succeeds

by mlnelson , Dec 05 '00
Pros: Easy to learn, some replay value
Cons: Some mission too challenging, clipping could use work
As a fan of alternative history, and also a fan of what I consider "old school" flight simulators, I greatly looked forward to Crimson Skies when I first read about it. I purchased it as soon as it came out, and immediately fired it up on my...

Better Than Your Average Flight Of Fancy

by mickp Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 02 '00
Pros: Strong story. No technical flight-sim distractions. Fast paced action with a little strategy thrown in. Excellent sound and full of colourful voice acting. Entertaining aircraft designer sequence.
Cons: Aircraft graphics a little jagged. Some speech a bit repetitive.
Flight Sims - You either love 'em or hate 'em. Of course recently the term "flight sim" has loosened a little to stretch from the classical meaning which usually involves a cockpit, some seriously complex controls and several...

The Ultimate Flying Simulator

by david_pitt , Nov 09 '00
Pros: Great graphics, fun game-play which can keep you occupied for months, creative, great installation
Cons: two modes for single player, controls hard to master; joystick recommended
Crimson Skies brings you the ultimate in flying and shooting sims. The graphics are great, the story is a new theme, and the game-play is easy. Basically, Crimson Skies raises the bar for the standard on flying/shooting simulators. I bought this game...

UPDATE Crimson Skies? What happened?

Pros: Fun, unique single player experience.
Cons: performance issues: 1Gb+ full install...
***UPDATE***
After getting fed up with the gui memory leak and other in-game performance issues, I decided to play with my swap file settings. The game requires a minimum of 250Mb's worth of swapfile which I had when I got the game. Zipper...
