I%27ve been a diehard fan of the series since 4 came out. Aside from having more horsepower the game%27s not changed much%2C though the scale%27s a little bigger now-- I%27d only just been starting to use the %27call in the calvary%27 feature.

I%27m a decent chunk into the game and I%27ve only got like 5 planes to buy%3F That%27s kind of lame. I%27m sure if I had the time to be hardcore about it%2C that would be fine%2C but it would%27ve been nice to have an easier structure open to more casual gamers. My only other complaint isn%27t really the game%27s fault%2C but it%27s certainly an HD beast. Some of the finer details%2C like%2C say%2C ground targets%3F are difficult to pick out%2C and some of the HUD text is a bitch to read on a standard tv. It%27s hard to argue that when the rest of the game looks so freaking awesome%2C but.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe story is%2C so far%2C the stock AC %27the horrors of war meet the joy of comradeship%27%2C so I%27d probably not expect too much of that running around anywhere in Eyrie %28and the characters are pretty cookie cutter most of the time%29.
