  1. For the multitudes with little or no background in the genre, this is a good, solid primer, which gives a good enough primer to leave you feeling less intimidated by the big boys.

    If you're new to sims and want to start at a higher level, or if you're an arcade flyer who wants to get his or her feet wet on a less forgiving title, then Jet Fighter V will serve -- at least until you get good enough to graduate to a more realistic sim or until you get frustrated enough to go back to a simpler title.
  3. Nothing more than an uninspiring title that excels in a few areas and is completely dysfunctional elsewhere across the board.
  4. A rare combination of frustration and boredom. [Feb 2004, p.85]

    Why does every frigin flightsim have to be so realistic? Can't ya just jump in and do some flying. Don't get me wrong, I've played Falcon 4 and Lock On, plus other hardcore games, but sometimes it's nice to just look around and shoot down some stuff. Expand

    The only complaint I have is the instructions are not complete enough. I have had to experiment to find out some things.

    the graphics are good I have enjoyed but the boring part is that you only have three planes to fly so i need to know the tricks besides, i can't target anybody but anyway it's not too bad i like the game i zm happy to have bought this game. Expand
