"There's no denying that Flight Simulator X is going to be one of the best looking games the PC has ever seen, but it's nice to see that Microsoft has done more than just slap a fresh coat of paint onto the series."
--GameSpy

"Check out the screens, they look pretty incredible."
--Joystiq

"FSX certainly looks very promising, the graphics do have a wow factor that makes waiting for the new sim rather difficult."
--Boomtown.net

"Following the trend in Xbox 360 games like Perfect Dark Zero and Project Gotham Racing 3, Flight Simulator X will include lighting effects that make players want to shade their eyes from the glare of reflective paint and the glint from glass and chrome."

"It seems the external HD DVD drive for the 360 wasn't the only gaming news to come from CES."
--GameGossip

"Gorgeous graphics, accurate flight dynamics, even better real time weather, stunning scenery, advanced multiplayer features, a whole goodie bag chock full of newly improved development tools, better sound and more - all contribute to making FSX a true revolution in the flight simulator line. More than just a sim, FSX is truly a robust platform for expansion and advanced development."
