5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun and Scalable to Varying Levels, July 3, 2005

By	Jayhawk Aviator (Johnson County, KS USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game/sim is great fun. It has a truly dynamic campaign, which means that your actions do impact the outcome. There isn't another game out there where there is so much going on "in the background" that, aside from playing the game, you can see and use to impact on how you play the game.

I'm no kid, so I don't have time to learn many complex features or learn how to do it on a real F-16. So, while you can have all of the true to life features/requirements of the real jet if you want, you can also scale those down to simplified avionics, etc. There are about 30 training missions with specific instructions on completing them, which cover the major aspects of handling the jet.

As for documentation, if you do want to do all of the "realism" options, you can get plenty of reading material as there is a 716 page .pdf manual).

I would recommend this highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Falcon 4.0 is Back and Flawless this time around!, March 14, 2006

By	SAM FRIEDMAN "Sam" (Flushing, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

It Took 7 Years but anyone who remembers when Falcon 4.0 came out in 1998 will have two distinct memories. One of which it being the most realistic Combat flight sim and the Buggiest.
After Numerous patches and things going from bad to worse, most people in the community gave up on the sim. Now 7 Years later not only are all the Bugs gone But graphics and gameplay is improved. Falcon 4.0:Allied Force took all the best of the previous patches and added them in to make this sim what everyone dreamed it could be. Lead Pursuit spent thousands of hours fixing tweaking and testing the Sim to make a flawless game where you can fly on the korean map or Balkans.
With photorealistic terrain and cockpits that look so real its almost hard to believe that your flying a sim. The AI Has also been improved so those hours you spent in the air in real time could end in disaster if your not too careful.
This Sim is not for those who just want a Arcade like sim to play as hey will be bored. Getting to your destination can take 30 minutes or more depending on your starting base. Waypoints must be followed, Aircraft refueled and objectives met and carried out while getting back to your base in one piece and landing. Sounds tough? It sure is and fun. Think about those military simulators the Air force have worth millions, and give it a smaller screen and much smaller price tag and you Get Falcon 4.0 :Allied Force.

4.0 out of 5 stars Falcon 4.0 is back!, October 9, 2005

By	J. Enzinna "JonnyFunFun" (Lockport, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

As a big fan of the original Falcon 4.0, I was a little bummed out that it was not going to run very well on my new Windows XP machine. I would have to deal without it...until Allied Force. F4:AF is the game to defibrillate the Falcon 4.0 series. However, casual flight simmers should beware - this game is, just like its predecessor, is very in-depth and can be quite hard to grasp. If you're not a die-hard flight sim person, I would suggest items like Microsoft Flight Simulator. Short of the steep learning curve - F4:AF is incredible. The physics, models, and graphics are all top-notch, but what will get you is the realism. If you're into realistic high-end flight simulators...this is the game for you.
