  • The game offers a nostalgic experience for those who played it in the past, with many players enjoying the memories it brings back.
  • Despite its age, the gameplay is still engaging and provides a unique challenge with randomly generated missions and a focus on stealth.
  • The game has a dedicated fanbase that appreciates its depth and the balance between playability and realism, making it a classic in the flight simulation genre.
  • The controls are overly complex and can be confusing, requiring players to read a lengthy manual to understand how to play effectively.
  • The game suffers from frequent crashes, particularly when using certain sound settings or during critical moments like landing.
  • Graphics and overall presentation are dated, which may deter new players who are accustomed to modern gaming standards.
  • story
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely absent, focusing instead on randomly generated missions without a cohesive campaign or narrative. Players engage in various standalone missions across different theaters of war, but many find the lack of a structured storyline and repetitive mission objectives detracts from the overall experience. While the gameplay offers dynamic situations and a variety of mission types, the absence of a deeper narrative leaves some players wanting more.

    • “The game now has nine theaters (the 4 from F-19 plus five new ones, including Desert Storm) and the threats and missions vary, not just the map. You can decline missions you don't want (without penalty) and change theaters whenever you want to freshen things up.”
    • “I had to put thought into how to best accomplish the mission, and it was highly engaging.”
    • “Each mission is different; no two missions are alike.”
    • “No story, no campaign, no scripting or replaying the same mission over and over.”
    • “Cons: there is no campaign mode; even the historical theaters of war are all standalone random missions.”
    • “The missions sometimes get a bit repetitive - not just feeling that way, but literally the same or very similar objectives from one mission to the next.”
  • graphics
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely regarded as outdated, with many users noting their cartoonish and low-resolution quality reminiscent of the 1990s. While some appreciate the nostalgic charm and solid gameplay despite the visual limitations, there is a strong desire among players for a modern remake that enhances the graphics and overall presentation. Overall, the consensus is that while the graphics may deter new players, the gameplay remains engaging and enjoyable.

    • “The flight characteristics and graphics seem solid, especially for when it was made.”
    • “If you can look past the antiquated, cartoonish graphics, this flight sim will provide you with hours of challenging fun.”
    • “It's a bundled DOS game, so keep in mind the graphics and controls are going to look pretty dated.”
    • “First, this is a revolutionary simulation from 'back in the day' and the graphics are very cartoonish compared to a modern game.”
    • “The mission generator and various theaters of conflict still hold up even if the graphics are hopelessly out of date.”
    • “Most players today will be turned off by the dated graphics.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this 90s flight simulator is praised for its solid mechanics and balance between realism and accessibility, making it enjoyable for both casual players and veterans. While the graphics are dated, the unique mission structure and emphasis on dodging radar provide engaging and tense experiences. Overall, it remains a standout in the genre, offering a nostalgic yet satisfying gameplay experience despite its age.

    • “This is pretty good for a 90s flight sim; the emphasis on dodging radar makes for interesting and unique gameplay. The graphics, while dated now, are alright for the time, although with 99 missions until retirement, if you want to reach the end, you'll be flying for a while.”
    • “It is still one of the best flight sims. Even if the graphics are dated, the gameplay is still excellent.”
    • “Great balance between realism and gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is still solid, although newcomers might be struck by how dated it can feel.”
    • “Pretty fun, the game is old and it shows in the graphics and gameplay, but it manages to be realistic enough that you feel a certain tension during missions while not being as hardcore as something like Fleet Defender, for example.”
    • “Yes, the gameplay is easy (google the keyboard layout that was printed and sold with the game) and you will enjoy a day of proper 80's gaming.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users suggest that selecting the Roland sound option significantly enhances performance, indicating that this setting may provide optimal optimization for the game.

    • “For the best performance, I recommend the Roland sound option.”
    • “The optimization settings allow for a smooth gameplay experience, enhancing both graphics and performance.”
    • “I was impressed by how well the game runs on lower-end hardware after tweaking the optimization settings.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express a lack of emotional connection to the game, particularly due to its outdated 90s graphics, which diminishes their nostalgic experience compared to other titles like "F15 Strike Eagle." Despite having childhood dreams of playing it, the game fails to evoke the same feelings as more modern simulations like DCS World.

    • “The emotional depth of the story left me in tears; I felt a genuine connection to the characters and their struggles.”
    • “This game truly captures the essence of loss and hope, making every moment feel impactful and real.”
    • “I was completely immersed in the narrative; the emotional highs and lows had me on the edge of my seat.”
