PS3 Flight Simulator

So my son has asked for a PS3 game that would be like a flight simulator.

Does anyone have one? Can you recommend a game?

UGH kids...

I would take those review scores with a grain of salt. Having played one of them, it wasnt that great. Take those names into Google and add review, see what pops up.

All the console games for flight are way "arcady". They are games, not simulators, is why.

Do you have a desktop PC? He'd be better way off with a PC sim and nice flight stick setup if he is looking for even a semi-realistic experience.

Thats my problem, my son has always said the reviews are never right. Needless to say I don't play any games, so I don't wanna just pick anyone and then it suck...

Well how good the games are for him are going to depend heavily on what he wants out of it. A lot of that can be deduced from which ones he enjoys now, that shows what aspects of a flight sim he likes.

Me for instance, I love driving games, but not simulator types, I reserve that level of learning for real driving. like my driving games to be a bit "arcadey", with a few jumps, and preferably some weapons, maybe some running from the law. :) But I"m picky that way.

So, what games in this genre does he own and love?

Hmm ok, he did mention that I could get it for the PC as well.
He went to some field trip were they had a flight simulator and thought it was really cool. Thats where this is stemming from... LOL

You can get some nice flight stick type controllers for the PC. As far as sims go, MS Flight Simulator is

for realism. There are several combat simulators that model everything from modern jets back to WW1 erabiplanes, depending on interest.

I prefer WWII era myself
