IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is another World War II game by way of 1C Company. This one, however, is flight combat game and looks beautiful. I got to play the game developed by Gaijin Entertainment last Friday, but I'm holding off on doing a preview until I see the game again next Monday. The ten or so minute I got to play with it definitely wasn't enough for a decent preview.
Anyway, IL-2 Sturmovik will see players taking to the skies as they take on those nasty Nazis. There's going to be over 50 missions based on famous historical battles that took place all over Europe. IL-2 will also see some multiplayer action.
IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey will be out this Fall for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP and DS. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and screenshots. How's it looking to you?
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I still play IL-2 a few times a week, great flight sims. I wish the PC game got a graphics update like this. I'm not sure how going from a realistic flight sim to console game is going to play but I'd trust those guys can pull it off.
