Video Game Reviews of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey

Customer Review: Not pleased
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought this game based on the reviews listed. It does seem fun, only problem is it doesn't run well. When playing the music appeared to be glitching (word?) and then after finishing a mission, the game froze. Not at all what I would have hoped for!
