    Another proof of how good the guys at Gaijin are at what they do. An entertaining, deep and challenging helicopter flight simulator.

    It's hard to imagine casual types persisting with Apache for too long. It's certainly good enough for a game of its ilk but, once the novelty of pounding the ground wears thin, that's it. With just a single type of helicopter available it lacks the variety you get in most other air combat sims. [March 2011, p78]

    This game is no core gamer simulation. Sometimes the action is unfair and you should really be a fan of trial-and-error. Apache: Air Assault is nevertheless an entertaining game.

    It's not an unplayable wreck--it just isn't worth the time and effort it takes to slog through. [Jan 2011, p.84]

    This flying simulation is not particularly fun and the combat is not exactly engaging. There is however a real challenge in learning how to fly the Apache and if you are a flying enthusiast you will enjoy this element, however casual gamers will be turned off by the lack of obvious excitement. The missions are pretty standard fare and overall I felt the game was missing a sense of creative license. I wish they had taken a different approach when building the game because the flying physics are superbly sophisticated. I also noticed that there was no one online for a multiplayer battle. 63/100… Expand
