When I first played this I thought it was the best fighter based flight game going. Much better than HawX, and streets ahead of games like Sturmovik. It's still a great game, but it has been superceeded by newer titles such as the Digital Combat Simulator A-10C Warthog. Still, this game is exhilarating to play , challenging to complete all the missions and ithe ground looks superb from the air; even when flying quite close to the ground.

It's the first game I remember playing where you could actually see shadows cast by buildings and trees as opposed to the ground being a flat photo (or, in the case of an old favorite of mine the F19 a flat featurless plane with the odd vertex shape denoting hills and valleys and line diagrams for bridges and other targets), and from a suitable height Wings of Prey looks almost real.
