The value story

Across all 52 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 80 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math STAR WARS™: Rogue Squadron 3D ($9.99, scores 33) and Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator ($59.99, scores 48) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

As a guy who's played through this game at least 4-5 different times, I still feel as if the reviews to the game is rather unnecessary compared to it's predecessor, Pacific...

So this may not be perfect but it is still a great game to play. I can't understand why there are so many negative reviews when games that are so so so much worse than this game get a positive rating!I have been enjoying this game a great deal so I have to give it a positive / recommendation review.
