I totally agree about Assassin's Creed I. But I have heard that II has

I will try to remain hopeful.

Look at Battle Aces. Its a WW2 fighter simulator. You can go through
the entire war from hurricanes vs. Heinkels through to Me-262 vs
Gloster Meteor jet fighters. Its fairly cheap too.

I didn't like the first one very much actually.
