    The few strong points of the game (the variety of well-designed aircrafts and the occasional exciting moments in combats) do not justify even half of the unreasonably high price. [February 2012]

    The 16 campaign sorties feel so HAWXian so Ace Combatish, you'll swear you've flown them before. [June 2012, p.101]

    The worst thing about JASF is not that it's an unrealistic arcade game. It's just very, very boring.

    First: It's an arcade game. Don't expect something even remotely similar to classic survey or entry-level sims like Jane's ATF, NF, IAF or USAF, which were released between 1995 and 1999. You would be disappointed, big time! It's basically a bad H.A.W.X or Ace Combat Clone, which worse graphic and gameplay than the originals. The game is only about 1 GB big, which explains blurry texture and dated graphics. The missions and gameplay is very uninspired, you shoot dozens of generic missiles at red squares until the healthbar of the target object is gone. Expand

    Beat the game in a few hours. Weak graphics, pure arcade combat, endless missiles to shoot endless spawning enemy fighters. Ridiculous storyline. Stealth, as a stat for the fighters, does absolutely nothing. Back in 1998, I played an arcade-style game called F-22 Raptor, and it was much better than this game. That was 13 years ago! Collapse
  3. Horrible console port. This game doesn't even support the mouse, advanced gfx options, hard capped at 30fps and has a mind of its own when flying your plane. Expand
  4. Its a console port that isnt even a good console game. Avoid this flop. Bad dated graphics. Console controls. Console gameplay. Its pure arcade nonsense. Expand
