4.0 out of 5 stars Very cool and difficult game., November 14, 2001

By	Geoffrey Johnson "sitebender" (Lake Villa, IL United States) - See all my reviews

You are an Apache helicopter pilot, on 30 missions into 5 levels of Desert Storm! This is a pretty nice game, with an overhead view of the helicopter and land, making it not for everyone, especially anyone under 13, because of its intense difficulty. You must follow the missions anywhere from destroying enemy radars / airports (with guns, hydras and heckfire missiles) to capturing commanders and saving hostages all from your apache helicopter. There is pretty good gameplay, however just one helicopter, if you get destroyed, thats it, so you collect hostages and drop them off to replenish your copter's armor.

3.0 out of 5 stars The first Strike. There are at least three more. At least., September 15, 2003

By	DeRosset Myers "DeRo" (St Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It'll be a cold day in hell before I support our troops' war on terrorism. That being said, Desert Strike isn't so bad for a helicopter game. You control the chopper from a 3/4 down perspective, using left and right to turn, and up and down to move forward or back. Your arsenal consists of a machine gun, rockets, and missiles. The controls are cumbersom at first, but you'll get used to them if you don't get bored first.
Having only sampled Jungle Strike and Urban Strike, never playing Nuclear Strike, and not knowing of any more of these obnoctious titles, I really have nothing to compare this to, unless you want to hear about... uh, that other helicopter game for Genesis. I'll tell you when I remember. You probably know what I'm talking about.
