Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Falcon 4.0 is back!
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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Falcon 4.0h boy this is slow
Falcon 4.0 seems to be less responsive than say FA/18 Korea or MiG 29. By this I mean, the responsiveness of the controls in Falcon 4.0 just doesn't compare to these other flight sims. In MiG 29, when you bank left, you bank left. The response is immediate. In Falcon 4.0, the response is sluggish. Perhaps this is a configuration issue, but out of the box, this is the results that I saw. The upside is that the game provides all of the realism, all of the bells and whistles, that you would expect.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Falcon 4.0...its the best flight sim out there. ;)
This game is unbelievable. Its affordable, the graphics are stunning, and the simulation itself is as good as it gets. And you don't even need a gaming computer to run it...I've gotten it to work fine on a smaller laptop, with graphics just as smooth as on a faster computer.
The plane itself is designed to fly exactly as the Falcon does in real life, with a photo-realistic cockpit--every button works. You can learn to fly it exactly as the USAF pilots do, from your own PC. It's a challenge, but the game allows you to slowly advance the realism settings until you're ready to handle the entire thing. The 719-page PDF manual included on the CD is proof of the attention paid to detail.
Moving past the plane itself, the other highlights of Allied Force include the strikingly real simulated campaigns. Thousands of individual objects, from infantry to convoys and antiaircraft stations, fight on the ground and in the air, all of them controlled by advanced AI, reacting to situations differently all the time. The campaign moves in real time, though time acceleration is optional. You can pick from a list of missions being flown, from strikes deep in enemy territory to intense air to air combat patrol.
For those looking for the best of the best in combat simulation, this game is it. It's the closest you'll come to flying the real jet. Don't waste your time or money with other sims...you won't find better than Falcon 4.0.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally Falcon 4.0 as it should have been!
This is the best military flight simulator on the market, bar none. There are many aspects of this sim that are ground breaking in their own right; far too many to be explained in depth. However, a quick overview are the true-to-life avionics, the dynamic mission system, the immursion created by wingmen and live communication channels, tankers, enemy AI, NPC ai, oh my! Whats really nice is that all these variables can be adjusted to suit your skill and familiarity of the cockpit and systems. The addition of the Balkins area along with the original Korean area, really makes this game shine with unlimited replay value because of the dynamic mission system, where missions and actions you take and complete (or not complete) contribute to the overall progress of the war. This is a prestine example of how coding of sims and games in general should be performed. So much is going on in the game, you actually feel like your part of the war and not just some gamer sitting behind a monitor pointing your mouse at lemmings.

Overall the game is incredible, and once more an incredible value. If you are a flight sim type of person, you cannot go wrong with Falcon 4.0:Allied Force.
