Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "There are lots of interesting missions, and the flexible multi-player options are a real treat, but at the end of the day, F-22 doesn't live up to the real expectations of computer sim freaks." [2]

The game was the best-selling military simulation in the United States for the first half of 1997 according to PC Data. [3] The game sold 71,000 units in 1997. [4] The game sold more than 350,000 units worldwide by April 1997. [5]
