Should I get Flight Simulator X or Call of Duty 4?

Question

Should I get Flight Simulator X or Call of Duty 4? I checked to see if my computer can run it on system requirements lab and it says FSX is all the way to the right which is recommended and COD4 is a 1/4 way obove minimum. COD4 costs more because at my EB Games store it costs about AUD$100 and FSX AUD$80 I think. I already got FS2004 and I got Call of Duty 1 but I have no idea which to get...

Answer 1

COD4 is amazing.  I don't play many games, but I've been playing this one several times a week since I got it in April.  The single player version is interesting and will take a few hours to get through.  But the online multi player stuff will keep you interested for months.  Even when you get the highest rank, you can still go prestige, and work up the medal system.  Because you are playing real people, strategies change and you have to think about what you want to do.

I thought Flight Simulator X was good, but I only played it a handful of times.  I found it lacking in a few key areas.  I've recently uninstalled it.

Answer 2

It cost less then about  $20 in US to buy.

You may want to stay with FS04, Until they bring the cost down. or look for another location to buy from.

FSX is more of an upgrade and you need windows vista.

In many ways The FS 02,04,09,FSX are more a tool than a game.

Call of duty is a game.

The FS Program give you you real world problems and you must deal with it.

Answer 3

Flight simulator X's minimum requirements are very different to those of its maximum requirements. The graphics resulting from following the minimal requirements are not flash, as there is a lot to process every second.

COD4 has smaller maps which are easier for your PC to process, plus there is a smaller range of difference between low and high graphics.

Additionally a joystick would be strongly recommended for FSX which would put you back another $40 AUS
