Summary: For the most part this is a great game. The play is fast and the missions give a great deal of variety. There are a few minor glitches in the map areas (Ceiling height too low, fly out of range unexpectedly) but the cons to the game are very minimal when weighed against the overal game experience.

Summary: This is the WW2 flying game I've been waiting forever to find. It has a great selection of planes from ww2 & sticks to a historical timeline, including historical missions which you can unlock. google "Butch" O'Hare, ie: the person Chicago's O'Hare airport is named after to see one of the missions (my favourite historical mission).
Graphics are good, gameplay is good. It's not the 100% accurate simulation, but who cares?
I've seen some complaints that it was hard to play, but I didn't think so. It's nice to play a game that you can't beat in 5 hours.
The Xbox live features could be improved upon, but it works. I only wish there were more people online playing it. (come on, buy it & get on xbox live!)

Excellent, extremely challenging, adrenealine producing action on all sides in 3 dimensions.
by rickmccamy on November 6, 2005
Pros: Graphics are good, and the handling characteristics of each plane are quite different. Nice array of differing weapons. In the early campaigns, it is not easy being American, outnumbered and unprepare
Cons: Extremely difficult at times, it took me 4 days of fighting over Wake Island to get the Admiral off.
Summary: I love to fly and I am a student and product of WWII in the Pacific. I had the trial about 1/2 day before I ordered the full game. ...

Summary: I love to fly and I am a student and product of WWII in the Pacific. I had the trial about 1/2 day before I ordered the full game. Delivered in two days, I have been playing it since. You can only upgrade planes or get new ones by successfully completing campaigns. I like that. Pretty tough fighting off those Nips at Pearl with only P-40's. Those Little Guys made the Zero a pretty good plane out of our old scrap metal.
It is addictingly fun! I am battling over Taroa, as a veteran. I am sure that soon I'll be on to Midway, and the most important 5 minutes in the History of War.
Updated
This game is difficult, but very exciting. You must complete your missions to move on and get more advanced planes and upgrades. The Americans are a a disadvantage in numbers and preparedness. The Zero is an advanced plane compared to the P-40. I downloaded the trial and was back online 4 hours later purchasing the full game. Delivered in 2 days, I have been playing it since. Took me four days to get the Admiral off of Wake Is. But now I'm a veteran on my way to Midway.
Updated
HOTP has a good following and there is plenty of on line gaming all around the beautiful South Pacific.
