Apache: Air Assault reviews and impressions

[Korsakov829]

Those might be the more modern ones, but the ones in Afghanistan were dirty, clogged with sand.

I'll try the demo later. I don't believe though, I will like it. If I don't get penalized for shooting US troops with a auto cannon then I might get it.

Maybe early release is why U.S. store didn't get the demo. Can anyone confirm it's in the shops over there?

No.

Thanks Silence...i didnt know about PS3 demo ( for north america ) not being out until today so will push it to all my firends here.

Pope...i hope you are correct and there is a surprise ac or 2 for us.

Kors... they arent going to put a dirty @$$ copter in the game. they took it to the local detail shop for a complete buff and shine. i DO like the vis out of this cockpit! ( still would love a hind vs apache DF in the mountains )

i have a guy here at work who has been over to the ME a couple times. I mistakenly thought he flew apaches...he flies blackhawks. i told him about the demo and am interested to see his take on the game ( might get some flying pointers to pass on to ya ). as far as firefights... he said blackhawks and chinooks get into more S#!T because insurgents dont want to go toe to toe with an apache. they know the others are bringing troops in and arent as well armed. so when they go to land all hell breaks loose more often than not.

First episode of Frontline: Battle Machines, the chinook they're travelling in gets riddled with bullets and the pilot gets wounded in the head.

That's what my buddy was doing when he was killed in Iraq, escorting some Blackhawks with his Apache.

You might like it Korsakov. It's not like your shooting at Russian soldiers, at least not in the demo. But I do see your point, it's kinda hard to build a game based on modern combat without getting modern politics involved. Perhaps that's one reason why WW2 games are so popular. I don't see how anyone, even modern Germans, can have an issue with shooting down an aircraft with a swastika painted on the side.
