How does the latest title in the Jane's lineup compare to the glory years?
Hint: This one has a "health information bar".

This was a great review, PFunk. I'm not going to spend money on a Jane's title anytime soon.

I do love your comparisons! Keep articles like this coming. They are a great read, even if the game is no good.

Thanks!

Who is "Evolved Games" and how did they get the rights to use the Jane's name? Does "Jane's Information Group" have any say about their name being used on this crap?

Good review Chuck.

Ah, the 'Janes' name, so many memories - this game is like how Disney could do their 'Hall of Presidents' attraction if they dug up and animated the actual corpses.

Wags is kicking butt and taking names at DCS. He's created a better product than anything EA Origin could have ever envisioned.

I just bought A-10C and I cannot believe how comprehensive it is.

my memories... early 1997, blue jeans manual cover... oh noes! mad

edit: Strike Fighters 2 maps are 16 times those of Janes' actually (1000x1000 km vs 256x256 km)
anyway another good review... I wish (cough, cough) someone else used that terrain engine for their newest title
