Reviews:

CD-ROM Today, June 1995

"This game pushes the envelope at every seam as it strives to deliver a thorough simulation of training, action, and life aboard a U.S. air-craft carrier. It covers almost everything, and everything's accessible in one smooth, well-designed game."

"From the main menu, you can jump into one of the 50 predesigned missions, build a custom mission, start or continue a military campaign, or check out an online aircraft reference. If that's still not enough for you, check out the multi-mission campaign against the Russian extremists causing mischief in the Ukraine."

"The game provides looks in every direction, inside and out. There's even a "rear view mirror" mode that displays a 180-degree shot about your heads-up display. It's all here in one gorgeous package. I have talked to several carrier pilots about U.S. Navy Fighters, and they've told me that this sim is dead on target. But remember, these are some tough birds to fly. You should be prepared for a steep learning curve as you master the controls. Once you do, you'll discover that this game is an absolute treat."
