With almost 40 customizable realistic warplanes models (Spitfires, Messerschmitts, Mustangs, bombers, torpedoes carriers, etc), the gamer will be transferred from the Pacific skies to the cloudy and foggy skies of Europe."
It was unfortunate that this game was released so close to the brilliant IL-2 Sturmovik, because otherwise it would probably have filled a gap in the console flight schedule, but it does stray a little to far towards the arcade side of things. Ultimately, regardless of the fact that the game doesn't do anything particularly wrong, there's just not enough here to justify the price. If you see it in a few months at a reduced price, then it's certainly worth a look.

HOE is a World War II game, like so many games before it. Quick, gather the pals, it's another World War II game, I can't believe they're still making these! Of course, I have a job to do, so I did my best to put those overused assumptions behind me and just play the game. Unfortunately, the World War II label is stuck right on the aft-side, and the gameplay is too shallow to shake it off."

A major point of criticism however was falling repeatedly in the gameplay, making this game is no historical significance to it. A good product developer listens to the criticism of the customer and tries in the future were to improve. Unfortunately Transmission Games is a bad student."
