Not a bad Helo sim
This game can be fun...the people models are not very pretty but the helicopter looks good. The flight model in realistic mode is a real challenge... trying to land on the ship is a pain! Alot of missions to do and a career mode. You'll have to get the patch for it, and i would suggest a progamable joystick with trottle to set the controls... they are not very user friendly! I play at 1600x1200 and my machine is not that nice...then terrain is blah but it works for what it is. The only non-combat helo sim besides the microsoft titles (if your machine is new!!!) that is worth a damn. Try the demo first if ya like that you'll like the full game.
good game
I think it is a good game myself. It does have an occasional video error, but other than that it works pretty good. Gameplay is a little slow, and it isn't a true flight sim, but it is close enough to be fairly hard at times, besides it is realistic in the slow gameplay. The door gunner is pretty cool too. If your are into thrills then this is probably not the best game for you, but if you will sit there for hours playing a flight sim and accomplish not a lot then you'll like this game.
An improvement?
Is this game an improvment over S&R 2? I don't think so! The manual is wrong and some of the features just aren't there. (Autopilot). I got this game and I'm not sure it is worth it. The price is too steep for something that has more errors than S&R 2. I really wanted to like this game, but no luck, it just isn't fun and it isn't a simulation. Maybe SR3 will be better.
