Adrenaline Vault
The game has great depth in realism and dynamics. Its campaign and scenarios are without equal. It's the best and most complete documented game ever released, and includes fully featured training missions for the novice pilot.

Can you believe it? It's finally out - and the four-year wait was well worth it. [March 1999, p.100]
Gamezilla!
A powerful PC simulation with boundless potential, but no matter how good it looks on paper, one hesitates to let his guard down and plunge into a sim that isnt quite ready.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
Bugs aside, this is the most ambitious simulation ever attempted, and one of the best simulations ever made. It combines extreme realism and unprecedented depth to create an experience that any self respecting sim junkie should not be without.

If you're a serious air combat fan looking for a sim that's big, beautiful, challenging, and truly convincing, Falcon 4.0 is tough to beat.
Read Full Review >All Game Guide
It's got tons of depth and detail. Just make sure you download the latest patch for the game before playing or your results will definitely be less than they could be.

As it is I hereby award this game a Silver award for taking risks, partly delivering them and for being a game with plenty of scope and depth that takes a lot of getting to grips with.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Despite the bugs and broken features, I've been game-locked on this simulation since the day I booted it, forsaking even the WWII sims I'd waited so long for. No other sim has come so close to re-creating the feel of my one flight in a jet fighter.

Hardcore combat sim fans with equally serious hardware and a cast-iron stomach for aspirin will find themselves engrossed in a simulation of incredible depth and subtlety.

Ricardo C. gave it an8:
Spectacular sim. Lacks some graphics only. And need more flyable airplanes.
Mike S. gave it a10:
If u like pure simulation, pure boredom of ingressing to the target, and 5 seconds of hectic action where u can get shot down my aircraft, AAA, or SAM's, and if u survive half an hour of egressing. Then this game is for u. With all the patches this game is as real as it can get. graphically speaking its not perfect, but we are here for the simulation. If u love fighter simulations.then this astonishing game has to be on yr shelves. ohh by the way.. never lend yr falcon4.0 cd to a friend...
