I have even found a Novalogic quote that actually is true: "Easy learning curve - You'll be up in the air and fighting within minutes." It's too bad that the people who would like this sim probably will be scared away by the claims of "realism" and that the people who will hate it might actually buy it." The online multiplayer games should be heaven to you.

The graphics looks good, there are loads of canyons to do (unrealistic but) cool flying in and you don't even have to open the manual to be successful. If you are the kind of gamer that enjoy blasting baddies in the air for 15 minutes every now and then, caring little or none about flight models and avionics systems, then you might love this. Still, if you are prepared to overlook its simplicity, you may find Raptor a good buy anyway - as an online multiplayer game. If you want to fly the F-22 you will be much better off buying Interactive Magic's iF22 or perhaps the upcoming DID F-22 ADF. If you're not in the mood for building, over 100,000 airplanes are available to download for free. At any time, you can strap yourself into the cockpit and see how it flies with realistic physics.
or SU-27 Flanker then I strongly advice you to stay beyond visual range of F-22 Raptor. SimplePlanes Build airplanes by snapping parts together, designing wing sections, and attaching engines. If you're the kind of simmer that enjoy the likes of EF2000, Apache Longbow.

What I do know is that no programmer worth his keyboard would design and code this game and then honestly say that "yes, this is the most realistic sim I could write".Īs a single player game I feel that Raptor is completely unattractive to the "serious" sim crowd.
Perhaps Lockheed demanded a "realistic sim" if they were to put their name on it, I don't know. What happened? Probably that Novalogic's marketing people stepped in and decided that it would be easier to sell it if it were marketed as a "realistic" flight simulator. I believe that this game was designed from the bottom up as an online game with single user capability, intended to be flyable by everybody, allowing a large group of gamers to play an entertaining flying-game on the Internet. It is this reviewer's opinion that this sim was never intended as a realistic simulator.

Games Domain has all the scoop: "This is not a bad game but it is not a realistic flight simulator either. Which is a shame, because F-22 Raptor is a very enjoyable arcade-style sim that offers excellent multiplayer option. The result was predictable: die-hard armchair pilots cried 'foul!' at being deceived into buying the game, while the joystick jocks, the real target group for the game ignored the title completely. Instead of marketing it as an arcade shooter with some sim elements, Novalogic decided to call it one of the most "realistic flight simulators". One of the best examples of a game that sank without a trace in the market due to misleading marketing, F-22 Raptor is another of Novalogic's "sim-lite" entries, similar to the famous Comanche series.
