Summary

Pilot three different variants of the F-16 Fighting Falcon -- the best multi-role fighter ever built -- including Block 40, Block 50/52 and MLU variants. Ultra-high fidelity physics modeling closely simulates actual aircraft performance. Engage the enemy in two operational theaters -- Korea and the Balkans -- each covering over a million square Kilometers of territory. Dogfight over a wide variety of landscapes: wide seas, open grasslands, dense forests and snow capped mountains. Fly nap-of-earth missions through detailed terrain and undulating valleys. Launch a variety of air-to-air missiles like the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder. Deploy a vast array of air-to-ground weaponry including the AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-88 HARM, cluster bombs, slick and high drag bombs and laser guided ordnance. Weapon systems are simulated using the most accurate publicly available specifications. Simulate an entire war with the most advanced dynamic campaign engine ever made for your PC. This remarkable feature presides over tens of thousands of vehicles: air, land and sea. No two missions ever fly the same! [Graphsim]

Pelit (Finland)

Finally a Falcon 4 that works as advertised straight out of the box. Includes the best features of the Falcon mod-community along with numerous new features. Superb work. [Nov 2005]

PC Gameworld

The most detailed combat flight simulator on the market.

The full PDF manual for Allied Force clocks in at 716 pages. [Jan 2006, p.58]

Cheat Code Central

Easily the best flight and fight sim ever created. And I don't say that lightly. It's not easy but at least if you make the effort you won't be plagued by buggy programming.

GameSpot

It is cheap, about as complete as a game of this nature can be, and thanks to the plethora of missions, the inclusion of a mission editor, and especially the several dynamic campaigns, the sim offers limitless replayability.

PC Gamer

One of the most welcome and significant new flight-sim releases in years. [Sept 2005, p.71]

Game Chronicles

With improved graphics, a wealth of dynamic missions and campaigns, the mission builder and the rabid fan base, Falcon. 4.0: Allied Force is another strong entry into the shrinking sim market. Best of all, this can be had for a modest $30 bones.

Ricardo G. gave it a10:
The best, period. Having flown flight sims since the Falcon 3.0 era, I am certain that this version beats all the others. The dynamic campaigns, well modelled weapons, and dynamic enemy AI... I've been flying AF for over a year without yet running out of options!!! What are you waiting for? This is not just a great sim, it is a piece of simulation/software history.

Sam F. gave it a10:
Finally after about 6 years a Falcon 4.0 Game that is Stable and playable. Awesome. Allied Force adds alot of the improvements from previous patches and make this game the best combat flight sim period.

Henry J. gave it a10:

[Anonymous] gave it a10:
Oh my god, the graphics, the realism, hte complexity, this'll keep me occupied till i'm 80.

Mike B. gave it a9:
Great sim, easy or realistic to fly. Great campaign mode too.

Staiko P. gave it a7:
Being a real pilot in real life doesn't get closer. Very good graphics, bug free and with intense dogfights and scenarios makes it very attracting. However, learning how to use the aircrafts equipment is like ... studying aviation in a University. Very difficult but one thing is for sure, if you get the hold of it you wont let go !
