Though plagued by control and interface problems, the entertainment value suffers only some edgewise tarnish on an otherwise well polished piece of silver.
-
Gameplay is complex enough to feel realistic, action-packed enough to be exciting, and easy enough to learn for players who are flight-challenged.

CheckOutGraphically, Jetfighter IV is one of the sweetest simulators you've seen.
-
CNET GamecenterWill likely prove more frustrating than fun for those who strap themselves into the cockpit.
-
The lush ground terrain and scenery make this one of the richest looking settings for some quick action. Just don't bank on realism.

The game is completely customizable in almost every category including graphics and difficulty.

Another potentially great game crashes and burns due to sloppy programming and a premature release. Pity.
-
A light and enjoyable sim for those who don't want to have to invest hundreds of hours learning a much more detailed, complex simulation.

JF4 introduces several leading edge innovations into the genre that set it apart, yet at the same time it manages to crash and burn when it comes down to just the basics.

Missed opportunity with the goofy premise; far too relaxed; even with the mission generator replay value is low.
-
A mediocre sequel.
