Disappointed [Posted on 2004-05-12]
After installing this game on a brand new gateway with all the right specs, I discovered that the game froze as soon as it started. I tried installing it on a friends pc with all the right specs. Same result. Actually it wasn't quite the same, the second time it froze earlier in the start sequence. According to tech support there was too much *stuff* running on these machines.

Maybe if I had bought this game from amazon, they would have taken it back (I buy all my books from amazon); but I didn't, and the store I bought it from wouldn't take it back - they only exchanged it for another copy of the same thing. Which didn't work either. See ya later 20 dollars!

GARBAGE....DON'T WASTE THE MONEY [Posted on 2004-08-01]
Buy Novalogic's Commanche instead. It is a real fun game and the helo flys really well and the missions are a blast. In Apache, the helo does not respond well at all and is a big piece of junk.

A Fun Helicopter Pseudo-Sim [Posted on 2006-12-04]
This game has nice graphics , great sound effects , and plays well with a joystick. It is easy to pick up and play without too much learning , and the multiple camera views are great. For those of you tired of having to take two weeks to learn how to fly something , this is a great alternative.

Fun, but overall not enough to please... [Posted on 2007-01-10]
It looks like fun at first glance, but the controls are just shoddy and unuseable to the point of making the game unplayable. If only you could re-map the controls to your liking, but nope! No wonder the game didn't sell well and was discontinued. Activision should be ashamed of not only this game, but themselves...

The problem is, while the game is fun the controls make even the easiest of objectives a chore. Sheesh, I am still on the first mission only because to land without getting killed is near impossible. All in all, I would recommend Comanche 4 over this and can only hope a better heli sim is released soon.

Good Helicopter Shooter with a Believable Flight Model! [Posted on 2007-01-17]
Great value for a Helicopter shoot em'up if you have a programmable joystick and use the games realistic flight model mode. Pilots of the BF mods BFV,BF2 etc.. will be right at home with this one!.Great graphics,stable in XP. Has Simplified weapon systems but the good flight model makes it worth while even for the more advanced cyber helicopter jockeys. May take a couple weeks searching around to find this one but the predecessor game "Apache ah-64 Air Assault" is just as good and more readily available.
