Allied Force is an extremely entertaining and complex game.I would highly reccommend it to anybody interested in the F-16 fighter.The only complaint I have is that I ordered and paid for a new CD and was sent a used one.Customer Review: Fang Four

This is NOT A GAME....REPEAT.....THIS IS NOT A GAME!
This is a F16 FIGHTER SIMULATON!!
You must be prepared to take on the responsibilities of a REAL F16 FIGHTER PILOT!!
"NEVER ask a a man if he is a FIGHER PILOT! If he is, HE WILL TELL YOU! If he isn't, you'll only embarass him".
To qualify for this SIMULATON, you must be willing to devote MANY HOURS to the various systems of the F16 Fighting Falcon which include:
1. Basic flight control systems.
2. Radar systems.
3. Weapons systems.
4. Avionic
5. Communicton
6. Navigation
7. Tatics
8. Refueling.
9. Tower take off AND landing.
9. Ground Control operations.
To name a FEW.
This is no 'Shoot eveything that comes at you' game.
THIS IS AS CLOSE AS IT GETS TO FLYING A REAL F16 WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE YOUR PANTS AT THE END OF THE SIMULATION!!
Can YOU hack it??!!
Customer Review: A job to install
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product in the hopes the legendary complexities of Falcon were fixed; nope. In the past, there has been the "Falcon dance," a complex job of installing the game and updating it's myriad patches and so forth. The consolidated Allied Force was supposed to put all that work to rest. So it was a great disappointment to me when I could not reinstall the game after I uninstalled it. The fix requires editing registry files; something I will not do. Too bad, because the sim obviously has rich content and a dedicated fan base. But I have a full time job already. Customer Review: I am quite disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
It is said that this is one of the best flight simulators on the market. I am disappointed with this game. Eurofighter 2000 seemed to be much better.
In Falcon 4.0 simulator, aircraft does not behave realistically all the time. I managed to land without any problems with one wheel hidden and front one turned 90 degrees right. Terrain is not so high detail as advertised and it appears blocky from high altitudes (it does not look like satellite photo, instead it looks more like a puzzle). There is option called ACMI, which lets watch your recorded flights. Whenever I have recording on, my game crashes after misssion all the time (but fortunatelly video is saved anyway). Rocket trails on video do not dissapper when you rewind it, and not all aspects of the flight are recorded (communication, and certain states of the plane for example afterburner) are not recorded.
AI could take care of the second pilot in a back seat (do things which second pilot should do).
Other things work very well, AI is very tough (enemy AI controlled pilots fly very well), and ACMI video replay replays the mission exactly as it happened even when certain states of the plane are not recorded. Graphically old Eurofighter 2000 was much more advanced (had better graphics (more graphically detailed simulation, more colorfull not puzzle like textures, more detailed terrain, better looking interior) and bigger choice of weapns.
There is mission editor, multiplayer and skirmish like.
In skirmish and multiplayer you can fly many diffrent planes (not only F-16) but they look inside exactly like F-16 and behave like one too, so at this point game is quite unrealistic. These jets can take huge loads of weaponry in multiplayer too so it makes the game even less realistic.
Falcon 4.0 is a nice game, however because of the reasons mentioned above I got quite disappointed.
Customer Review: Great sim
Summary: 5 Stars
Been playing F4 since it came out in one form or another. This version is a great step up from the original version and it's keeping me well occupied. An investment which has been well worth it.
