Apache: Air Assault reviews and impressions

[Korsakov829]

They give all Muslim people a bad name, so much for their Jihad.

Training mode in BoP is good but the AI isn't very challenging. And playing the campaign over and over again has gotten boring. The only thing left keeping many people playing it is MP. If A:AA doesn't have this on a later patch, it had better be cheap for low length of play.

I agree with you there. MP is the only reason BoP is as successful as it is. it will be interesting to see how this coop in A:AA works out. might surprise all of us. and then again as players we can always bastardize the senario ...disregard the mission and DF each other...lol. if it can happen...it will.

Well As a long time gamer and flightsim nut I must say this game has the potential to be epic . It's been a long time since a decent ground attack chopper game came out and for console to boot . The graphics are step up from BOP add to the fact that on line will be co-op with custom skins . plus play back feature ... I am speechless . Interestingly some of the bugs from Daggor game play engine seem to persist in demo as they did BOP. @ 60 Bucks this is a must buy

This reminds me of LHX Attack for the old Genis

The play back feature is pretty neat. Something that would have been interesting to see in BoP.

Yep. And It will be known as Blue on Blue co-op mode.

Yeah, might surprise us. Then again Gaijin always leaves things out of their console games.

as a rotorwing guy and i gotta say: Bout time someone did a updated Helicopter game! Would be cool if they dlc'd some EC Tigers, Ah-1s, or OH-58s.

It seems like good fun, strangely enough using a flight stick seemed fairly natural. Skipped training as the guns/missiles wouldn't fire using a stick and went straight into the demo missions. Prefer the 'pit' view' TBH. It won't replace BOP , not for me anyway! Pity the demo doesn't say which buttons do what or what commands/controls are assigned /available. Only had a quick try but will give it another go later........
