Editorial Review

Nuclear Strike is the superior sequel to the popular helicopter action game Soviet Strike. The graphics are better, the interactive environments are richer, and the addition of new vehicles adds varied gameplay to an already standout series.

Flying a massively powerful attack chopper is still at the core of the game, but during some missions you'll be able to control tanks or even Harrier jump jets, which are a complete blast to fly. The mission objectives are varied, and, fortunately for action fans, there are plenty of enemies to destroy. If you get tired of taking on the bad guys, there are also buildings and other ground targets worth destroying. With so much to blast, you'll likely suffer trigger finger from the nonstop assault. While fast action is always fun, players looking for an action game that requires any amount of strategic thought will likely want to look elsewhere. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Lots of vehicles to command
• Plenty of targets for nonstop action

Cons:

• Some slowdown when the screen gets crowded
• Blowing things up gets old after a while

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS ONE OF MY BEST GAMES!, November 7, 2001

By 

Game Master (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nuclear Strike (Video Game)

This is one of my best games. It has more vehicles than the Soviet Strike game. You have to stop a crazy mad man with a stolen thermonuclear device.The graphics are smoother than Soviet Strike, and it has more levels and codes. There are new vechicle in this game:

Super Apache: It has the same fire power as in the last game.
Sea Apache : This has weaker fire power (missles-75 p)
M1-A1 Abrams: One shot kills all. One shot will kill any enemy.
M-2 Bradly: It takes many more shot to kill a enemy.
A-10 Warthog: This thing smashes tanks like small bugs.
Harrier : This one has very heavy fire power and armor.
Super Cobra : This has heavy fire power but the A-10 has way. more.
News Chopper: This has almost no fire power and not very much armor.
T-80 : This has about the same power as the M1-A1.
Havoc : Mega powerful fire power packed in this chopper.
Hokum : Super Mega armor and fire power in this chopper.

There are other vehicles such as rocket lauchers, hueys, hover craft and the comapache.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun Strike game, May 6, 2001

I will admit, i went into playing this game a little skeptical, because of the previous "Strike" games, but this one turned out to be the best yet. This game took me many hours to beat, you get many diffrent helicopters to choose from, as well as tanks and hovercrafts too to destroy buildings for fun, or to actually do the missions that will keep you playing for hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best Strike Game, May 13, 2000

This review is from: Nuclear Strike (Video Game)

Gone are the days of Desert Strike on the Amiga and Jungle strike on the Megadrive with their ageing graphics and missions. Great games for their day but prepare now for the follow on from the Playstation best seller Soviet Strike. Fans of the previous Strike games should drop everything and buy this now. Join Earle, Hack and Andrea for another 5 awesome missions to stop the nuclear madmen of the Far East.

The gameplay is much the same as Soviet Strike but this time you can be over 10 different vehicles. There are Tanks, Harrier jump jets, A-10 planes, hovercraft and a number of different choppers to name a few. They are a joy to use (The harrier especially) each with different firepower and armour.

The mission difficulty level is just right and like before you have to think about each phase before attempting it. It is very strategic and you will find yourself protecting trains, commanding an army in the desert, and also watch a nuclear explosion and have to deal with the aftermath. With your co-pilots (who actually do help you this time - check out Cash on the 2nd mission) you get the usual blow up everything in site as well.....

The cinema footage is here once again and makes the game very realistic and enjoyable. There are also nice touches during the game: Andrea is right on form and protecting the bus on mission 3 is hilarious. There is a new compass introduced, which makes gaming even easier without continually reverting to your map every 5 seconds.

Again a patch is needed for 3dFX card users from the EA site. You will be playing this until you complete it and even for the experienced gamers it won't be too soon. EA have a habit of producing games like this. Fanatstic atmosphere and very rewarding - In the words of General Earl `Make sure you don't succeed in giving your enemies more confidence'.
