Overall: 78.5%

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 remains simply the best flying simulation game available today blowing away every competitor, if any. The graphic reality has reached a new level while the ATC makes the game much more attractive and less boring thanks to the new interactions it adds. Faster and smoother than the previous version combined with revolutionary graphics, Flight Simulator 2002 really rocks. Even if the selection of aircraft is still questionable due to the serious lack of European planes, the pleasure of piloting is renewed. It really is “As real as it gets.”
