5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, Excellent Combat Sim,, October 18, 2001

This review is from: Jetfighter 4 (CD-ROM)

I have read a lot of negative reviews of this game by the real "hardcore" flight sim fans who say it is too easy, and not realistic enough(so I guess that they have all flown real F-14s and F-18s, if not, then what do they know for realism?). Which is one of the main reasons I love this game. It is not as intimidating, and it allows for action and excitement that is so submersive, it makes up for any lack of realism, (and causes a lack of sleep as I wake up an extra hour early to get some dogfights going). The graphics are excellent 50,000 sq. miles of beautiful satelite based terrain and is worth the 1.5 gig install. Another thing I love about the game is that it is based in the Northern California / Bay Area, which is where I live. It is awesome to be able to fly under the Golden Gate bridge, up to Sacramento (my town) and on to Lake Tahoe. I suppose that makes me a bit biased, but whatever. My point is that if you have never played a combat sim before, and you want one that can be fun without having to quit work and go to flight school this is for you. If you live in the bay area and have an even remote interest in Flying games, this is for you. I have purchased and subsequently uninstalled Jane's IAF, F-15, and USAF. I guess I just do not have the patience, plus none of those games came with any documentation, nothing but installation insructions, when they should each come with a 500 page Flight Bible. I am sure that one day I will move on to those other games, cause I have read that they are all great, but so far I keep coming back to JetFighter IV.

5.0 out of 5 stars FUN GAME!, January 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jetfighter 4 (CD-ROM)

I cannot believe all these bad reviews, so I guess these people are all Air Force veterans and have seen it all. To tell you the truth, I am very impressed with this game. It has A LOT of missions, it's extremely realistic, and above all, it's fun!! Also, this is the best PC Air Combat game I have ever played. You get to land on aircraft carriers, fly around the Golden Gate Bridge and engage in tough dogfights. In sum, I highly recommend this game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Caution: Requires ALOT of Patience, January 19, 2002

This review is from: Jetfighter 4 (CD-ROM)

Before you buy this game make sure you have the patience for it.
I bought this game looking for a more arcade like combat sim. I had recently bought F/A-18 and couldn't even begin to play it due to the complexity of the controls. This is NOT much better.

Graphics: They are top of the line. The game is a visual delight for a flight sim, and that's where the 3rd star in my rating came from. (running it on a Geforce 3 Ti Series card)

Sound: Awesome. Great sound effects with the Audigy Gamer x card.

Game play: WAY too complicated for a game like this. It could have been one of the greatest arcade flight games ever made, but if you don't have the patience to learn to fly, bomb, and dogfight, for hours on end, don't bother.

I reccomend Comanche 4 by novalogic if your looking for some arcade fun. Two button controls, and the same awesome graphics.
