Reception

A reviewer for Next Generation assessed that the game "never manages to catch the raw power of the A-10 experience. It delivers great graphics, wonderful views, and neat explosions, but the flight model is one of the worst of its kind, and the least accurate." He elaborated that the plane maneuvers far more nimbly than a bulky plane like the A-10 could in real life, and that while the game could have passed as a decent arcade-style title, it was plainly being marketed as a simulation. He scored it two out of five stars.[1]
