Customer Reviews

Better Than Many
I have bought all of the major fighter jet sims over the last few years (Lock On Modern Air Combat , Flaming Cliffs , Falcon 4 Allied Force , JetFighter Iv and V , Flanker 2.5 , etc.) and have found this game more enjoyable than ANY of them.
It slants more to the arcade side than the sim side , but in my opinion , that is a good thing. I'm tired of having to read and remember tons of pages of instructions in the true sims in order to have fun flying and shooting things out of the sky.
This game has ,IMHO , nice graphics , great sound effects , nice plane models , and really fun gameplay . If you have a nice joystick to go with it , it's a blast!

Great game and lots of fun
This game is a lot of fun. Notice I say game. If you are looking for an intense fighter simulator game in which everything is a realistic as possible, you might want to get Allied Force, Falcon 4.0. I own both and love both games for what they are worth.

As for this game, don't get me wrong. It is not totally arcade style play. You get to pick from several aircraft and the graphics are awesome. Each plane has been represented beautifully. You can choose from various weapons to load on your aircraft, but you better know your different missles and bombs, as the game does not describe them in detail.

If you own or have played Wings Over Vietnam, this game is very similar. You should be able to hop in the cockpit and go. The learning curve for this game is not very steep and it is great for someone who wants to play a fighter jet game without reading a 716 page manual (like what comes with Allied Force:Falcon 4.0).

Overall, a great game and worth the money!

Best sim ever
I love this game. This is the future of flight sims. A mix of a real flight sim and arcade. I was hoping for a game like this to be developed for a long time where I would not have to remember hundreds of keys in order to master a particular plane. WOE is now making it very simple for those of us who love high tech planes and at the same time have no time to read a text book of a particular game (say lock on).
