    Choplifter HD is a worthy remake and a fun addition to the arcade library. Its pick up and play gameplay will make it easy for new and old players but difficult to master and complete the game. If you're looking for a quick game of something when time is short then Choplifter HD is the type of game for that situation.

    Beating levels will unlock different helicopters. So you can replay missions with birds that are faster and can carry more troops. All so you can get better completion times to move up the online leaderboards.

    It's hardly an arcade classic, in other words, but if you're after nothing more than a friendly and frantic fifteen minutes of action every now and then, Choplifter HD just came to the rescue.

    As you grit your teeth through 30 missions, you'll run into frustration aplenty. [Feb 2012, p.76]

  1. Other fantastic classic, Choplifther HD is an old version of the classic title, but this version is the better, and the zombie mode, wow, is funny and hard, Choplifter HD is awesome. Expand
  2. A new game, based on the old Choplifter: the game has nice graphics and light effects, and some innovations, retaining the basic gameplay of the original, with a 2,5D twist, nevertheless the game has some frustrating moments, with the Helicopter controls (too fast and with little control, like sliding in ice), and few missions in the total, being too much repetitive (trial and error). My score: 4,5 / 10,0 . Expand
  3. Choplifter HD is a bad game. No more, no less. Game design is horrible, and do not deserve to honore the true old Choplifter. At 400 MS Points It could be a potential average game, but at 1200 MS Points, the standards are not the same. Expand
