Kenny Loggins. The only thing that’s dangerous about this zone is that it makesyou want to crash your plane yourself. It’s J.A.S.F. for the Xbox 360.Released in late 2011 for the Xbox 360, Jane’s Advanced Strike Fighters revisits the classicPC titles Jane’s Combat Simulations.
Evidently, Jane has lost a step, because Advanced StrikeFighters is a dull flight-combat game that only has a brand name in common.I suppose people will call this an arcade flight game, but I don’t know. I mean, alike arcade flight games. Advanced Strike Fighters is too slow, too sum-like...and just too boring for me to look at it that way. Watching paint dry should never, ever be more exciting than blowing things up. Somehow, Advanced Strike Fighters breaks the rule. If you’ve played games like Battlefield, Tom Clancy’s HAWX and Ace Combat, you have a pretty good idea what this game is trying to be like.
Advanced Strike Fighters puts you in the air and gives you multiple targets. You take them all out in virtually indistinguishable ways. You wash, rinse, repeat, and fall asleep. Part of the problem is that the game just doesn’t do anything new, but perhaps more importantly; it doesn’t do anything unique either. It just feels like other games, only the other games do this much better. The sole strength of Advanced Strike Fighters is its wide selection of jet fighters. Otherwise, the controls are a pain, the graphics are outdated, the missions are uneventful...there are no smart bombs.
Fortunately, the game has 16-player online multiplayer. Unfortunately, I have serious doubts that you’ll ever find 16 players who want to play it. Jane’s PC games might’ve been good, but Advanced Strike Fighters proves she has no business on consoles. Unless she’s good looking.
