Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory (PC)

[cotswoldcs]

I'm an occasional gamer, enjoying RTS, first person shooters and the odd flight sim. I'm looking at buying Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory but wonder if anyone has read any reviews of the game or has any views? Is it any good?

Will it run OK on my system (P4-3Ghz, 512MB PC3200, XFX Geforce 6600GT)?

I'd love to hear from anyone thanx...

BoB2 is a revamp of the old Rowan BoB.
The gfx are much improved & it still has probably the best campaign system of any flight sim.

Unfortunately some people are having some glitches - the most common seems to be with an error associated with the English text plus some other people are reporting poor frame rates. I have seen the English text error once but my fps seem OK.

It's only been available for a couple of days so they don't have a lot of info to spot common factors yet but I am confident that at least the English text error will be resolved pretty quickly.
It's £18 delivered from Play.com.

Thanks for the info.

Where should I look for an online review of the game?

Here's a preview from just before it was officially launched.

1 thing, the UK version doesn't ship with a paper manual as it is doing in N. America

Wow, I loved the original but it was starting to look very dated and doesnt work under XP.

The original does work under XP if you use the BDG patches.
