In a league of its own...
User Rating: 9.6 | Falcon 4.0: Allied Force PC
The only way to describe Falcon 4.0: Allied Force is to repeat what everyone else has been saying… This is a simulator and not a game. GamePlay (10): Let’s face it everyone has tried to create a ‘realistic’ air combat simulator but has scraped some part of it to appease a larger audience. Lead Pursuit kept true to the simulation and in my opinion did it right. You will need to read through a good deal of material and practice a good deal if you want to be competitive at this simulation. But isn’t that what it is really all about? Having fun and learning at the same time… Graphics (9): The graphics are excellent. I would like to see more in-program settings available but I’m not going to complain. The clouds look good; the aircraft look good and so on. Sounds (9): Probably the one area I thought was weakest. The voices used in the simulation are clear but could have been better. Aircraft sounds are outstanding. Value (9): If you like air combat this simulation will continually deliver with the ability to create custom missions through the custom mission editor. Just like previous versions of Falcon this puppy is going to be around a while. Reviewer’s Tilt (10): I love the simulation. No doubt in my mind this is the best on the market. Microsoft, UBI Soft and everyone else should look at this before sending out another combat simulator. The depth of authenticity that has been put into this game puts it in a league of its own. No other air combat simulation compares to it. But it is not for the faint of heart. You really need to do some reading and learn the F-16. You need to understand its flight dynamics, weapons system, radios, and on and on and on. Is it worth it? You bet and the price on this is amazing compared to lesser products that cost more.
