1.0 out of 5 stars Heli-Lame, January 30, 2010

It would be great if some programmers reading this would consider creating a quality helicopter game, as this is a cool concept. However this particular game is incredibly lame & cheesy. Terrible graphics & gameplay. Meaningless dialogue between characters is displayed as on-screen text (which means you have to read it while flying the helicopter) and is also somewhat represented in the form of voices mumbling jibberish in the background. Might be okay if you're 10 years old or less, but otherwise...heli-lame.

Eye-rolling dialogs. Aircraft control is strange and hard to get the hang of. Even once I THOUGHT I had the hang of it, I found myself struggling in mission scenarios to understand what the craft was doing, and/or what I was supposed to be accomplishing. Skip this one. I'm still looking for a good attack chopper game.
