Summary: Total Immersion
Review: Dawn was just breaking as we rose through 15 thousand feet. I checked the formation to make sure everyone was in place. Our formation of 10 17s was fast approaching enemy territory, and we could expect bandits at any time. We did have good cover on this run for a change though. I could just make out the Stangs about 10k above us, and we had a flight of Tempests off our right wing. The call came over the radio "Bandits high 9 o'clock!". "GRR flight tighten up!" I yelled into my mike. "More bandits low 12!" someone yelled. All we could do was hope our gunners and fighter cover would keep us safe as we lined up on target. Radio traffic was nonstop from then on... 5 more minutes to drop, we couldn't break formation. Just then 3 190s came screaming through our formation. Rat's plane, the number 2 slot exploded next to me. I took hits, but not too bad. "I got one!" my top turret gunner yelled as I saw a 190 spiral down across the cockpit window trailing smoke. 4 Stangs came through the formation chasing the remaining 190s down and away. 3 109's came up from below, and Xtreme in the number 3 slot started smoking and fell from formation. "Tighten up guys!" I yelled into my mic again. "It's our only chance, stay tight!" The Tempest went after the 109s, and we seemed to be clear as we lined up on target, but in the back of my mind, I knew it couldn't last. "Bombs away" I said over the radio, and I started to dive and turn toward home.... If you are into WWII Ariel combat, teamwork oriented games, and just plain ol' fun, this is the game for you. A real person somewhere in the world controls every plane you will see in the skies of FA, and there may be 300+ people in just one Arena! Bomber formations, Carrier battles, Torpedo runs, taking land by dropping paratroopers, organized Squadron events... these are just the base of Fighter Ace. The bonuses are a fantastic community, great customer service, and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Summary: Absolutly Outstanding!!!
Review: Do you like to fly?,,, Then Fighter Ace is the place for you. There is more of everything availible at Fighter Ace, so much so, you have to try it to believe it.
You like to fly alone? You can find a place to do that, just make your own custom arena.
You like to dogfight? Dogfighting goes on in several different arenas, at several different flight modelling levels, from Arcade up to level 10 advanced physics.
You like to fly a bomber and wreak havok? There is many different kinds ranging in size and payload, want a Fighter/Bomber so you can dogfight some, or strap yourself into a Lancaster, or a B17, all is here for you at Fighter Ace.
This game offers the best playability of any flight game BAR NONE. But thats not even the best part..............
Fighter Ace has a few things working in its favour that make it a must for any online flight gamer.
One of those is the community that plays it, probably the most polite and respectful online community there is, which is amazing considering just how competitive it can be. The benefit of being able to pump someone full of lead, instead of lashing out with a keyboard. There are many organized squads, and they are always happy to have someone fly along and help out, many new pilots find homes with these squads, and asking if you can come along and help is a great ice breaker, and always appreciated. There is a fully active newsgroup, for helping each other with PC or game issues, or just for sharing your thoughts and haveing fun.
Keeping it all together, and running smooth, is the best volunteer group any community could ask for, the FAVG(Fighter Ace Volunteer Group), you will generally always be able to find an @FA3 close by to help solve any issue, whether it be an abusive player, help in setting up game, or flight training.The FAVG has set a very high standard, and the community very much appreciates thier efforts, so much so, that the community itself supports thier efforts and helps out when they can. It is not uncommon to see a new pilot being helped by a community member.
The programmers are continually making additions, and improvements to the game, new arenas, historical battles, fixing issues brought to them by the community, in short, this game will NEVER stagnate, it will always be improving in 2 ways, by the new members that join us, and by the countless hours the people who put it together spend, making it even better still, which is hard to imagine, something so good, getting even better.
Id recommend you at least try it, you sure wont regret it.

Summary: ~*~*~*~Is This Game For You?~*~*~*~
Review: Do you like to have fun in a tense battle knowing there is not a bot but a human on the other end gritting there teeth as you give them your best? Do you want a chance to play a game in an atmosphere that is setup as if you sat down to the Discovery Channel on TV? A clean fun safe environment made for all ages where you find father and son and even mom playing the game! Educational, as you learn about the battles and planes used in WW2 not just one country but five countries with a balance of team work and strategy combined by all the players of the game. Not just a one on one but with arenas setup with as many as 300 players or more flying to take territory against the best of defenses. A chance to meet people of all ages and nationality, men women and children all gaming together in one game around the clock 24/7. Countless hours of fun that you would pay dearly to do with other things in life for the cost of less than 10.00 a month! Who am I to say all this? I am a FAVG, I belong to a group of special people who dedicate there time and knowledge to make sure you get the best brought to you by Jellico who strives to make the best of online multiplayer gamming software available to all in the world. Try this game you have only one thing to lose, time spent only on having fun! Wiz...

Summary: Game in not ready for the public!
Review: Even though FA3.5 has possibilities, I can honestly say that in it's current state it has too many bugs to be enjoyable. It seems that Jaleco rushed this product out too quickly. The game has been out for several months and still there has been no patches to fix any of the current problems. The constant scoring issues as well as the ineffectiveness of any of the game designers to keep the players apprised of any progress has driven many long time players and squads to other online games. I hope Jaleco can resolve the game issues soon. Rilak

Summary: Dissapointing Game/ Customer Service
Review: Even though the graphics are fair, the most annoying part of this game is server stability. I could not stay connected for more than few minutes at a time(and I'm on a T1 connection). When I did eventually find a sysop to help me, he tried to tell me that the connection problems were all my fault. After I had explained that I never have have any problems with any other games, he became defensive and rude. And this guy represents this company??? I won't reccomend this game to anybody.

Summary: [Bad Customer Service]
Review: Fairly decent game w/ good graphics... But customer service is the worst I've ever seen. The servers for online play are slow and full of lag. Suggest you spend your money elsewhere.

Summary: Some myths to be disparaged
Review: Fighter Ace has not been a Microsoft product for some time now.
They went solo on their own with the staff who designed the game. AH guys say FA pilots are biased?
Better look in the mirror, and it isnt just a kids game.
Many are from the older family crowd and very enthusiastic about the history and modeling of the aircraft in every possible detail. It takes some practice to be good in the game.
I have flown every flight sim I could get my hands on and FA presented me with the best immersion and feel of them all.
(CFS 1-3, IL2, AcesHigh, WarBirds, X-Plane, Crimson Skies) Its not about fighting premapped drones.
Its not about fighting hacked opponents.
It's facing real people in a sportsmans atmosphere. For the price nobody can beat VR-1 & Jaleco for the package they have assembled hands down. CFS 3 Was pretty but still as flat a flight model as CFS2. And for the price of CFS I think MS bombed.
They should have stuck by the FA Platform its developers are among the very best in programming and as people. Sincerely,
Chris Moor

Summary: Show me this many people having this much fun ANYWHERE!
Review: Found FA 4 years ago and haven't found a game this fun since! I have tried WB, AH, WW2OL and others and NONE match the knuckle clenching, heart pounding, adrenaline rush F U N! Now, yes this game is played on the internet... so internet performance can cause issues. But ANY online game is subject to this and NONE pull off as much action and fun per person playing (up to 300+!!!) as Fighter Ace 3.5 can! Problems are identified and remedied as soon as practical and possible! The community in this game is second to NONE. The developers and sysops are seen in game routinely. They have an active stance in gameplay issues and playability. There is something for everyone who enjoys flying the virtual skies. 3 basic physics levels w/ various settings that reach for pure arcade to very realistic (not that silly stuff that you see in WW2OL and such) flight modeling. You can fly fighters, bombers, torpedo planes, even cargo planes! There are constantly changing rooms that are updated regularly to keep game play challenging and fun, as well as a few rooms that based on popular room layouts. So come on in and give it a fly... there are TONS of squadrons looking for new members and TONS of solo flyers looking for a wingman... YOU!
