From the first mission to the last, J.A.S.F. is left to rot by the arcadey and capable Ace Combat for sheer thrills, embarrassed by the variety of missions offered in H.A.W.X. 2, and technically outperformed by the more serious IL-2 Sturmovik. [February 2012, p.76]
A less-than-satisfying return of the Jane's series, rebooting as an arcade game that doesn't feel good. Its gameplay is poor and limited, its campaign boring and its online mode lacks variety.
