Diehard GameFAN: "There are few things more pleasurable to me in videogames than being able to take control of an AH-64 Apache and blowing the crap out of unsuspecting targets. I found this to be true in games like Gunship, Jane’s Apache Longbow, and even EA’s Strike series. Some of those games were simulations and some of them were arcade games, but they all showed me that I really should have been an Apache pilot. Hell I even suffered through Nic Cage and Sean Young in Firebirds just so I could see them on screen."
RotorStorm is an unity 3d awesome war game where you are playing with a helicopter and you are alone against an entire army. Your mission is to destroy as many enemies as you can and complete all 6 challenging missions.
Mediocre games are notoriously hard to critique. We’re hardwired for hyperbole: it’s easy to write thousands of words effortlessly praising the finer points of a blockbuster title, and a poor game is even easier. But when a game is neither, things get a bit more difficult: the game may not have glaring flaws, but it may lack any number of effervescent qualities that see it rise to the top.
Apache Air Assault is such a game, one that tempts this reviewer to trade in terrible clichés in an attempt to explain to the reader that this title might appeal to niche enthusiasts.
MMGN: Apache: Air Assault is best if you master the controls and experience both single and online multiplayer. It’s realistic enough for most pros, but more casual players will struggle to master the flight controls, even on the training difficulty, while the fun is to be had on realistic. That leaves it as a fairly niche title for combat flight sim fans.
