Falcon 4.0 Computer Game

Pros: Great graphics, even today; total immersion; incredible detail; excellent training missions

Cons: System hog, can be unstable, steep learning curve

The Bottom Line: New patches and add-ons, even a new campaign theater, help Falcon 4.0 live up to its vast potential. If you've wondered about it, stop wondering and get it! It rocks!

Review: In early 1999, while serving as the faculty editor of a school newspaper, I had the chance to review Falcon 4.0. I was excited about it then, but I could tell this game was a beast. It crashed a lot, it needed a mega-system to run, and it was hard to...

Pros: super cool flight sim with ALL the bells, wistels & not expencive

Pros: Great game, graphics Amazing

Cons: very complicated

Review: I am a long time buyer of the Falcon series. This game has really topped it off. This game has the best computerized graphics that I have ever seen in my hard core gaming life style. This game is very a complicated and not for the learning pilot....

Pros: Realistic flight model, realistic avionics, challenging AI, and beautiful graphics.

Cons: CPU hog needs a fast processor no matter how hot you think your video card is.

Review: I've had Falcon 4.0 for about 18 months now. When I got it, the sim sold for approximately $50. It's a steal at today's prices. Buy.com is selling it for less than $20!!!

The simulation is very tough to master. If you're looking for a modern...

Pros: Cheep!! Accurate physics, phonebook manual

Cons: Steep! learning curve--a true simulator

Review: **original article written Feb3, 2000**

I was actually very eager to get this game when it first came out, but balked a bit at the memories of Falcon3 being buggy. As it becomes more the norm by software companies to release a beta product to...

Pros: Ultra realistic

Cons: Ultra realistic

The Bottom Line: Some people may like it, but it left me cold. Seeing as how it didn't sell particularly well, a lot of people must agree with me.

Review: I got this game for ten bucks at Target. I had never even heard about its release, and here it was ultra-cheap. My game radar went off, signaling that this could potentially be a dud. After all, this clearly wasn't designed as a bargain game...if it...

Pros: Outstanding documentation, dead-accurate flight model, stable if you have the v1.08 patch

Cons: Aged graphics, awful tutorials, vertical learning curve.

Review: HELLO! ANYONE HERE?

Wow, this place is quiet. I thought at least one flight sim fan would have thrown up his thoughts on Falcon 4 long before I got here. It was the most hyped and anticipated flight sim of the last five years....
