I find myself confused (not for the first time the unkind might say). I have been playing a sim which contains nearly all of the elements I find distasteful in a piece of software, texture mapped graphics, linear campaigns, and the output of an entire year of film school graduates in the way of multimedia add-ons. This work is so bloated, it comes on no less than 3 CDs, hardly exceptional were we talking about a state of the art adventure but unusual for a flight sim. I should hate, or at least be indifferent to the charms of this work of art but instead I find myself thinking that it is one of the best sims I have ever played, worthy of the highest accolades the Games Domain Review can throw at it. The name of this conundrum? Longbow Gold from Janes
