Fun and Entertaining

Jetfight IV is very fun. The ground graphics are so-so, but the gameplay is awsome. The only downside is there only is a small amount of missions you can play before you've played them all. A plus is that the controls with the keyboard aren't confusing at all and they even give you cheats that you can use to make your plane invulnerable to missles, re-arm your plane in the air and re-fuel your plane in the air. Overall, I'd say this game is worth the money and is the best air-to air and air-ground simulater I've every played.

Forget playing on XP!

Pentium 4, GeForce 4 Ti4200, 512RAM, 2.4 GHz, Windows XP Pro, never a problem with over 30 other graphically demanding games -- and this game will not get beyond the splash screen except with tremendous tweaking of settings and configuration of ini files! Even then, the controls are entirely senseless: totally unrelated to ordinary flight sim models, unintuitive and mostly unchangeable! Worse yet, effectively no support! Don't bother if you're running XP or interested in something that approximates real flight!

Excellent flight combat for all skill levels....

I have played this game on two different computers of mine and it runs just fine. It has a simple flight model and easy to use weopons controls. The detail of scenery is a little plain down low and nice high above. I think that the sound drivers could have been better since it does crash with sound problems. I think other raters here could still play the game well if they ever change their sound card.

This game gets 0 stars

I tried playing it on 4 computer systems it give the splas screen and then hangs all the computers. None work with the game.

1. Pentium 4 1.6 512MB RAM 32MB ProSavageDDR 4x AGP WinXP
2. Pentium III 256MB RAM CyberBlade 4x AGP 16MB Win XP
3. Pentium III Celeron 512 MB RAM Rage Pro 16 MB RAM Win XP
4. Pentium II Pro 256 MB RAM 16 MB RAge Pro 2xAGP

None of these systems work with this game. The requirements are a farce. This is true for many Take 2 Interactive and Global Star Software games.

Further please read my review for Jetfighter V. Little better performance because I was able to get to the game screen after some effort.

'Aight, so I was at Office Max one day and I saw this game for $1, so I bought it (or maybe it was $5)... Anyway, the single player is fun. There's an arcade feel to the game, so don't expect realism. You can land on water. Carrier landings are a bit challenging, to me anyway. The textures look excellent when you're about 5,000 ft. or more above them, but when you get close they look crappy, esp the 2D cities. There are some 3D buildings that disappear when you get a little far from them (they disappear too soon). There are lines visible in the texture-photos. Parts of the terrain aren't textured at all. I don't understand that.
The multiplayer is SEVERELY FLAWED as when you "kill" someone with a gun they'll explode but keep on flying. The people I was playing with got mad at me because I didn't eject after they told me I was hit. Someone hit me 5 times or so and I never ejected because I thought it was too hard to type,"I killed you." while flying.
Bottom line, don't buy this game for multiplayer. I was looking for a simple multiplayer game and this was a disappointment. Currently I'm thinking about getting F-22 Lightning III.

Finally! A flight/combat sim that isn't too easy!

I used to play Jetfighter 2, until it refused to cooperate with Windows 95/98. Now, years later, I just saw Jetfighter 4. I snatched up a copy, put off everything else I had to do, installed and played. The graphics and terrain are highly realistic. The controls are very smooth and yes, it has a learning curve, but the training missions really help out with that.

The enemy aircraft are actually a challenge to evade, as opposed to many of the flight sims out there. I have no system problems with it so i would reccomend this to everyone!

I thought, maybe, because it was outdated. Install was easy. When trying to enter a campaign my screen would go black,and I would have to re-boot every time. Then I couldn't even CTRL/ALT/DEL to get out of it. When I could play it, the graphics were good. That is until I tried to turn my aircraft. The HUD images would trace and trail, as well as other aircraft in view. Lack of instructions didn't help either. This sim is problem plagued. I'd rather go back to my Janes Anthology Fighters.

yuck

I cannot believe all these bad reviews, so I guess these people are all Air Force veterans and have seen it all. To tell you the truth, I am very impressed with this game. It has A LOT of missions, it's extremely realistic, and above all, it's fun!! Also, this is the best PC Air Combat game I have ever played. You get to land on aircraft carriers, fly around the Golden Gate Bridge and engage in tough dogfights. In sum, I highly recommend this game.

Piece of junk

The controls are too complicated. Missions are nearly impossible. The only thing I like is the free flight and that is boring.
