Perhaps the only uniformly disappointing area of Fly 2K is the crashing. Steer into another plane, and you'll just harmlessly bump away. . . . Here, sending fellow pilots screaming into the waiting arms of whatever god they've arrogantly scorned is actually encouraged. Falcon is a slightly less meticulous simulation of an F-14 fighter, with the accent on giving you access to all the jolly mayhem that America's Screaming Bringer of Death can insert into a rainy afternoon. Kill, kill, kill kill kill kill kill.
Falcon is just a good hybrid that accents the simulation of combat piloting, as opposed to flying.
Half of the game is just managing the complicated offensive, defensive, and control systems and still somehow getting yourself in the right position to take that shot. The flight and combat-training manuals that come with Falcon are worth half the game's price in and of themselves. If only Falcon weren't so old. If this game were a hamster, it'd be dead by now. Version 4.0 was released nearly two years ago.
