Wait though, before I go on, I must mention that Lock-on comes with the most pathetic excuse for a manual I have seen for just about any flight sim. With a feast of aircraft on offer, it was time to get to grips with each and the game’s control system. These aircraft are all very different and all come with their respective complex c**pits and maneuverability. Lock-on features both Russian and NATO aircraft so there’s plenty to get stuck into including the Sukhoi SU-27, SU-33, Mig 29, SU-25, SU-39. In fact this review should have been out at the end of last year but we’ve held off for reasons that will become apparent.Lock-on Modern Air Combat has been developed by the same team behind the popular Flanker sims, Eagle Dynamics, so you’d expect a sim of top quality. With my anticipation high, the game was slung into the CD and it was time to take to the skies. Over the past few months or so I’ve been watching the development of Ubi Soft’s Lock-on Modern Air Combat with real interest, the weekly movies and developer reports gave us a decent insight into this new title, and boy was it looking good. I love flight sims, especially ones featuring modern aircraft.
