    This game gives you an opportunity to control a helicopter and complete different missions - rescue people, destroy some objects and escape. The graphics are not that nice, even thought the name says - HD. Enemy, buildings and all other background could be more detailed or it's even could be used other art style, which is simpler but pleasant to the eye. First half of the game was kinda boring, because there were a small number of enemy, so missions were easy. But then new enemy appears - jets, tanks, mortars, which brings a difficulty to the game. After completing each missions you get stars 1 to 5 and it's important to get more of them to unlock a better helicopters. Some of the missions could seem too hard, but after giving a few tries you will find a way how to beat them fast and safe. Also there are few zombie missions, where you have to safe people from zombie's attacks and if you land too close to ground, they can jump up to your helicopter and you will need to shake them out. The game lacks of ammunition upgrades, where you could choose what weapons to use. In start of each mission the pilots make some jokes out so it doesn't seem that you control a empty helicopter, also in one mission there a Duke Nukem character (real Duke Nukem's voice actor), which you can try to shoot and it will say some phrase. If you like a side-scrolling arcade games and see this game on a sales, try it out, if you are not a fan, then avoid this game, because it will not satisfy your needs.… Expand

    Choplifter HD is a really cool game for all classic lovers, but especially for older players who remember titles like that from Atari or Amiga. You can find all kinds of missions - seek & destroy, rescue etc. Even some for zombie lovers. Game is utilizing UE3, so it should run fine on every low end PC. Controls are a little funky and weird, but you can get used to it. And in contrast to other modern games Choplifter can be hard. It's not one of those moronic AAA titles, where you only press fire and watch cut scenes.… Collapse

    This is an awesome and addictive retro-style game. I had played the Activision game for the 2600 in the early eighties. This is a reimagined dream. The level design is great. Scoop Sanderson is good comic relief from all the death and destruction.

    This game gets difficult quickly, but it is fun when you get the hang of it. It also has some replay value in trying to get all five stars per mission or finding the secrets.

    A game pad with an analog stick is required because aiming is almost impossible with keyboard controls.

    Well as cool Arcade, certainly if we like this type of game. The game can pull fans and old fans of this type of aircraft from the side of games where he was cool. The prospect of this is in spite of sometimes slightly annoying and difficult to play so often will be angry at the game. The game is challenging, but it has its drawbacks, and this is a really cool game, but sometimes really hard and at least at the end. My rating - 7 / 10… Expand

    Coż w miarę fajny Arcade, na pewno jeżeli lubimy tego typu gry. Gra może wciągnąć fanów starej części jak i fanów tego typu samolotowych od boku gierek których sam byłem fajne,. Perspektywa po mimo tego jest momentami lekko denerwująca i utrudnia grę przez co często będzie można zdenerwować się przy grze. Gra jest wymagająca, ma swoje wady lecz i tak jest naprawdę fajną grą lecz momentami ną grą lecz momentami naprawdę ciężka a przy najmniej pod koniec. Moja ocena 7/10… Expand

    Choplifter HD is a remake of the successful classic helicopter game from 1982 – so our expectations were pitched quite high. Unfortunately this game is far from meeting them. The repetitiveness in gameplay and its non-compassionate presentation make it, in our opinion, nothing to recommend.

    The tactical implications of saving people while keeping an eye on the fuel gauge are interesting. But you'll lose interest sooner rather than later, thanks to the frustrating design.

    Return of the classic in 3D high definition misses the spirit of its predecessor and after a few missions the game turns routine... [Feb 2012]
