Great Fun [Posted on 2006-04-11]
I have read some negative comments on this game, all I have to say to is, where's your sense of fun? This games does not pretend to be a simulator, it's an arcade action game based on WWII. I've had hours of fun with this game, sure some of the missions are hard but it's still great fun. The graphics and sound are all great. It's all done very tongue-in-cheek

If you want some fun action then give it a look.

Best LucasArts Game Sience X-Wing Alliance [Posted on 2006-07-20]
I Diden't like this game all that much when i got it for Christmas, played it a little and that's it, but i got into it a year later and i loved it, that was after i got into World War II Stuff, i say buy this game no matter what people say, it's an all around fun game, plus with the upgrades for completing objectives, you can get medals if you do good enough in a mission, unlock alot of aircraft such as the ME-262 and the Supermarine Spitfire, it's a great game and very fun missions, point is buy this game, it's great for any day.

good times [Posted on 2007-04-03]
i liked this game very much, it is a fun game all around. If you want to play a game where you fly around and use the actual controls, and try to become an ace pilot, then get a flight simulator game. This is an action game threw and threw. This game is all about action and thats all, if you dont want to do missions and you just want to fly around and do dog fights, then you can. You can choose any plane in the game that you have unlocked and fly that, you can play as the germans, americans, british, Japanese, and the Russians. The game is basic, fly around and destroy stuff, which is the way most things where back in the years of 1938-1945. Countries would fly around and attack one another. I enjoy the game because it is time consuming, plus its a lot of fun. So if your looking for a game to burn some time, and have fun, then this is the game for you.

Fun, Challenging but Not a Simulator [Posted on 2007-05-09]
I've had this game for a year and a half. I played it last year and stopped when Summer came. This winter I dove back in and have played it almost to the end now.

I'm an older guy (48) so getting on an X-Box is not something I can spend all day doing. This game is great. You fly around, kill the crap out of the enemy and problem solve to get to the end of the mission in one piece. I've played games where you had to watch your fuel and other guages, but that always took the fun out of the game for me. I have enough trouble not getting shot down. I think the graphics are good, the situation and missions are fun, but not a cakewalk.

This is a game you can play an hour at a time or for half a day, depending upon your schedule.

Great Flying Shooter.....But Tough! [Posted on 2007-06-19]
If you're expecting SWON to be a combat flight simulator, then you will be disappointed. What it is, however, is a fun arcade shooter. It does actually follow history, and gives you a chance to fly a great number of aircraft from WWII. I had to get used to the arcade style, as I'm not a PS/2 gamer. However, this game was much more fun that IL-2 as I actually got to shoot down enemy planes!

The missions get tougher as they go along, with a lot to accomplish before you can move to the next missions.

The only things I did not like was that I could not save the game when I wanted to, and the provided checkpoints were few and far between. This meant replaying a lot of difficult scenerios from the start. A good gamer should be able to cope with this.

It's certainly worth the money. The graphics are good, and the lead-computing red "shooting spot" really helps. I also liked the ability to slow down the action, which helps you get through the tough spots.
