No flight stick required
The planes are easy to handle, even when pulling off close strafing runs.
Playability is extremely well polished, and there is absolutely no reason to play with a joystick (or a pad) - the official PC control scheme, WSAD + Mouse, is perfectly usable, and very responsive. Both joysticks and pads are also supported, if that's how you want to fly, and they are also perfectly fine tools for playing the game. The "flight model", if you can call it as such, is also very forgiving, and the ease of control is impressive. You can pull off loops, but in practice such fancy manoeuvres are for show-offs, as you are limited to a very low altitude. Most of the combat is all about out-turning and outsmarting your opponents. Bombing is just as easy with a handy target circle showing where your ordnance will land. Torpedoes are equally forgiving - just drop one over the sea and it'll do damage to anything it happens to run into - no real need to skim very close to surface or ensure direct hits from the side. Your own plane is very sturdy and can take a lot of punishment (and a few glancing mid-air collisions) without problems. Annoyingly it will start spewing smoke after your damage indicator hits 50%, without being anywhere near breaking down. This tends to cut down visibility at the end of every mission as it's almost inevitable that you take a few hits here and there on the way. Graphics and technologyWhile Attack on Pearl Harbor doesn't really break any new ground in the tech or visuals department, it still looks quite acceptable. Atmosphere is there when air is filled with planes, streaks of machine gun fire and burning planes slowly arcing down to their doom. Sure, one could moan and complain about the simple terrain graphics or the fact that the planes don't actually break up in multiple ways, but that's all superficial and doesn't really bring down the overall visual look at all. 
Maximum visual settings with shadows and depth of field enabled.
There are four settings for extra visual candy - none, low, medium and high, plus couple of tick boxes to enable shadows and depth of field effects. If you uncheck the extra features and set the effects to none, things get rather... bare.
The minimum requirements on the box are extremely loose - "3D card with 64MB RAM" - well, that could be translated to a GeForce 2 MX 64MB, yes? That sure fits the statement on the box, but the game doesn't fly very well with quite that age of hardware. If you are willing to drop down the resolution, in theory even something like an Our testing also indicates that the frame rate is almost completely up to the video card performance, and almost any CPU from this century will do fine. Only going notably below the 2GHz level in CPU performance started to hurt the frame rate, and even if your CPU is slightly below that, as long as your video card is fairly modern, the game will run fine.
