  3 out of 5, its fun, but not a true Jane's game. Jane's used to make hardcore flight combat simulator type games, not this time. This game, while fun, is a port of a console small downloadable game. At first I didn't like the game, I felt cheated, but in the end I had fun playing through the short campaign. This game and Hawx 1 are the last of the good arcade flight combat games. For more realism play DCS World. This game is fun, but shouldn't cost more than $5 in my opinion.

  The game is not so bad, but when you need to scan, the camera just doing it self and you can crash easy. I don't understand the brain of developer, but the camera for scan objects is so bad.

  If you were like me and played the Jane's Flight sims back in the day, you don't want this game. It is not a sim. it is not fun. save your ten dollars for a rectal exam, because you'll be happier.

  Ok, so I read the reviews and I thought this will be a crappy game. It was on sale for $2 and change, me being a flight game enthusiast, I thought I had nothing to lose. To my surprise it is not a bad game at all. Mutliplayer doesn’t work. But the campaign is fun. The plane 3D is very nice, and you can unlock more planes by passing each level. So don’t expect a top notch game, but the game is not broken and it’s worth $2 if you get it on sale.

  I miss the days of the real Janes sims - USNF, Fighters Anthology, Longbow, USAF... this is a poor example of what was once a mighty air combat sim legend... stay far, far away from.

  In the 90s, Jane's Combat Simulations was a whole series of flight simulation games published by EA (you read that right, it was EA before they became the stupid EA we all know today) with the branding of Jane's Information Group, a publishing company specializing in warfare. I have limited experience with flight simulation, and didn't discover it until way after Jane's games stopped being made, but I haven't heard anything but good things about the series. Now ignore everything I just said because it doesn't apply here at all. That's right, just like all the other reviews said, the "Jane's" name has nothing to do with this game. It's an arcade game; think HAWX or Ace Combat, but Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters is way more like HAWX 1 (I haven't played HAWX 2 so I can't say). Which I'm okay with - HAWX 1 was actually enjoyable for what it was, especially in multiplayer co-op... but where HAWX failed to capture the essence of Ace Combat, Jane's fails to even capture the essence of HAWX. And that's just sad. First things first, [i]no camera control[/i] and limited controller support. You have to go into the controls menu and rebind the keys for your controller before you can do anything, and even then you still can't control the camera nor can you use the controller for the menus - you gotta have your keyboard handy. Plus, I don't know if this was just me, but some of the graphics seemed really weird - I had some werid light flickering every now and then, and explosions didn't look like explosions at all. On that last note, the graphics are passable. The aircraft models aren't very-well detailed, but they're not mishapen blocks that don't look like the Super Hornet or A-10 - they're passable, at the very least. Music and sound design are... poor, really. Nothing stuck with me at all, and I'm not trying to look for the soundtrack online or anything. Adding on to that, voice quality is really horrible. I mean, the writing can be okay at times, but the main character doesn't seem to give a damn about anything. He always sounds so upbeat, even when someone you're escorting is about to die. The guy voicing Control sounded like he was reused for some of the ground forces, which really confused me during one of the early missions. The gameplay of JASF is the worst part, unfortunately. Nothing seems to be obvious enough, especially concerning incoming missiles, which you can't dodge normally unless you use countermeasures. Seriously, those things stay glued to your butt like hell, and it's not like you have an infinite amount of flares when the enemies gang up on you. You'll find yourself dying just because the missiles are magically homing on you. Not like your missiles have the same capabilities. Additionally, when using bombs, your aircraft can be destroyed by those very bombs. Of course, you have no way of knowing this (and no other arcade flight game has this feature AFAIK) until you do it yourself, and even then you'd be hard-pressed to figure it out. Mission variety is also extremely broken. First mission is a patrol, followed by an escort. Second mission is a low-altitude attack, followed by an escort. Third mission is a low-altitude attack, followed by an escort. Am I the only one seeing a pattern here? Escort missions are the bane of some players' existence in Ace Combat games, so if you hate escort missions, stay the hell away. For what it's worth, I spent exactly $1.00 of my Steam wallet (so, technically, free since it was from trading cards), so I don't think it was wasted - I did enjoy what I was doing until I got shot down by a swarm of MiGs in... the third mission? Hard to remember since they're so easy to forget. In all honesty, HAWX 1 is better than this, and most Ace Combat games are better than that. Go look there. Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters isn't worth anyone's time or money.

  A somewhat enjoyable arcade flight sim. Mediocre in almost every aspect. I would not recommend spending more than $4.99 on this game. I suppose the only redeeming feature are the planes themselves if you enjoy modern fighter jets.

  I really don't get it, why is everyone bashing this game around? Sure, it is a H.A.W.X. clone, but it really doesn't deserve all the hate it got! The good: -Nice graphics- The graphics aren't spectacular, but they get the job done (especially considering the fact that this is a 2011 game)! The plane models are detailed and belivable, the terrain looks really good too! -Large map- The map in this game is pretty big, and it's really nice to fly around. Sadly there is no free-flight feature, so you can't explore it outside of the campaign. -Fun gameplay- The gameplay is fun and addicting. I would say the general feel of the game is even better than H.A.W.X. The bad: -Obviously a H.A.W.X. clone- It is a negative point, merely because the game doesn't introduce antything new. -No cockpits for the airplanes- While it is not game-braking, the lack of cockpit view in the planes, hurts the immersion a bit. There was cockpit view in H.A.W.X., and it was a nice feature. -The story- The story is the generic, one-super-human-pilot-wins-the-war in a fake-arabic-island-nation devided into the "good" south, and the "bad" north. No surprises here. I have to say though, that the story is not too bad, certainly not worse than H.A.W.X. All in all, a solid ARCADE, flying GAME. That's right. NOT a flight SIMULATOR. I think most people have a problem with this game, because it is called Jane's. I personally don't. The game is fun and enjoyable. Don't buy it expecting a simulator, but rather a fun flying action game, and you will be fine. I am a veteran of many a flight sim (Falcon BMS, FSX, LockOn Flaming Cliffs...), and it doesn't make me enjoy this game any less.

  No Stick or mouse support, shoddy Console port. 01/10 avoid at all costs.

  This is not the Jane's that you remember. Severely disappointing, and completely unrealistic. I wish I could get my money back for this game.
