Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 0 out of 5
  2. Negative: 2 out of 5
  1. The variety of features and solid game play add up to a satisfying experience. [Mar 2003, p.136]
  2. The controls are a bit clumsy, and the overall game just isn’t much fun. Maneuverability isn’t as good as it should be in a helicopter, making the chopper an easy target for enemy soldiers. Not much fun at all.
  3. The textures are so low-res they will give you a headache. The two-player mode is even worse as it compresses the graphics into two halves to facilitate a vertical split screen making everything distorted and elongated, it's like sitting at the front of a Drive-Inn movie screen.
