5.0 out of 5 stars Tough Learing Curve but Well Worth It., July 4, 2002

By 

DTN (Borger, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thunderstrike: Operation Phoenix (Video Game)

At first I found the controls difficult but like every other game it just took some time. Relative to Fire Blade (Midway) TS:OP's controls are golden. My standards on graphics and sound aren't too high so I found TS:OP's acceptable. Missions proved challenging, painfully so at times, on the first play; replays offered a lot of "fly and destroy" fun. I didn't notice a lot of differences between the difficulty levels. About the only thing that stands out is guided missiles weren't as accurate and the enemies required more hits to be taken out. Bad guys didn't get smarter or larger in numbers. As someone who's beaten TS:OP on all difficulty levels and is trying hard to finish Thunder Blade, I've got to vote for TS:OP. It's one I'll hold on to and plug in every now and then just for fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Game~, November 6, 2001

This review is from: Thunderstrike: Operation Phoenix (Video Game)

This is a pretty good game, if you like war and helicopters, you will love it. If you are unsure between a couple of flying games I also have Ace Combat 4, and Top Gun. Stay away from Top Gun, Ace Combat is so much better than Top Gun. But if you want the a little helicopter fun, Thunderstrike will take care of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This game kicks ass, December 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Thunderstrike: Operation Phoenix (Video Game)

It took a couple of times to get the hang of it, then when I knew about the weapons I could choose at any time after each stage WOW it's just great....but I then realized that I needed the 8MB chip to save the game that's just a hassle but overall 5 stars.
