Review by Scott Osborne, 7/10. "The gorgeous graphics are quite a sight, and the gameplay gives you a fairly enjoyable 'Top Gun meets Star Wars' experience that straddles realism and arcade-style gameplay, while emphasizing the latter. In aiming to meld the two, it doesn't quite get either right, and substance takes a backseat to style." |

Review by Omni, 83%. "The environments look great, the action is fast, and most of the missions can be taken on the third or fourth try." |

Review by Steve Butts, 72%. "You'll play it, you'll enjoy and, ultimately, put it aside for more traditional games that offer a lot more sparkle." |

Review by Michael Lafferty, 75%. "And if the visual elements are so strong as to draw you back again and again, in spite of the shortcomings, then this must be a decent program." |

Review by William Harms, 70%. "There is some good fun to be found in Echelon, but it's hidden behind too many problems and unpolished gameplay." |

Review by Branislav Babovic, 70%. "Echelon's main problem is that it appeared too early. It looks as though the programmers just rushed to wrap the game up, eliminating any possibility to get a good background story, and incorporating only the basic Multiplayer options." |

Review by Eric T. Baker. "Echelon is an easy game to learn, but a hard one to master. ... The lack of control over your wingmen is very annoying in the later scenarios, and the flying really is much better with a joystick." |

Review by Ryan Matthews, 7/10. "If you're looking for a flight sim that has a pretty face, handles extraordinary and isn't your run of the mill space shooter, Echelon is your game." |

Previewed by Jason Byrne. "To get this game into some kind of reasonable shape, expect them to take until at least Spring of 2001 before anything ships." |
