Released in 2001, IL-2 Sturmovik was a remarkable game, thanks to its unusual focus on WWII’s eastern front, its great attention to detail, its gorgeous graphics, and its interesting selection of planes. The game’s developer, 1C: Maddox Games, began working on an expansion pack, but along the way the expansion grew to become a full-fledged, full-priced sequel. But Forgotten Battles really is just like an expansion, since it’s built around the same basic game engine, covers the same topic, and shares a massive number of features with the original IL-2. While Forgotten Battles isn’t the true sequel you might have hoped for, and it suffers from its share of problems, there’s a still lot to like about it.
