Gameplay

[edit]

Back to Baghdad is a combat flight simulator: its gameplay involves piloting a realistic reproduction of the F-16 fighter jet.[3][2]

Reception

[edit]

Writing for PC Games, Peter Olafson gave Back to Baghdad a largely negative review. He concluded, "I do like a good flight sim, but here, again and again, I felt lost in a world that offered small rewards for hard work."[2] Mike Stassus of Computer Game Review was more positive: he called the game "a pretty good entry for serious flight sim fans" despite its flaws.[5] Computer Games Strategy Plus offered yet a better review, with Steve Wartofsky dubbing Back to Baghdad "the first real contender for the serious simulation crown we've seen since SSI's release of Su-27".[3]
