The voice acting is also great, although the dialogue isn’t spectacular. The guns, explosions, missiles…everything sounds like it should and are done well.
Audio does what it can, with a very patriotic styled theme to the soundtrack and sound effects are what they can be. Oh yeah, and explosions look great, which is a must-have in a game like this. However it can be touch in go in some parts, as while some things will look great from a distance, up close they may appear burly, and some textures will seem more plain and simplistic, but not often. Elemental effects are done very well, and the game displays hundreds of trees and other scenic aspects at a time with no apparent frame rate issues. The interior of the helicopters is remarkable, detailing every aspect of an Apache AH-64, downright to the pilot moving the control stick around. The helicopters looks great and animation is fluid. It really requires co operation, which is great to see as well.Īpache: Air Assault is very visually pleasing on the most part. Extra modes such as single screen co op are added as well, where one player can move the helicopter while the other player fires the weapons. Sadly, mission objectives are not always clear, but they’re usually either ‘go here’ or ‘blow this up’. It feels like a helicopter should, from it’s weight to the way it turns, it has a very realistic feel to it which gives an extra layer of authenticity to it all. Furthermore, it must be said that the feel of the copters is very realistic. What’s done here is pretty admirable, the developers went out of their way to make a game for the hardcore lovers of flight simulation and the technical depth of the controls itself really shows it off. Perhaps these days gamers are just used to simple, easy, pick up and play games.
If you can master the controls you can have a good time playing it, you just need a lot of patience. The gameplay does have a lot of room to improve, but the basic system is actually pretty solid. Finding enemies can also be an issue at times, although admittedly its not a big one. What does help however is the machine gun has a black and white camera attached that can zoom in, and thermal vision as well. Flying in a straight line can be mastered with ease, combat can be a struggle and often feels unrewarding which is disappointing. Combat is only half the challenge, as keeping the Apache AH-64 in the air is a challenge as well. Controls can feel awkward, since it requires two control sticks to move the vehicle, so it has a big learning curve and will take a while to get used to the controls.While the game does have a lengthy tutorial, it doesn’t really teach much, as afterwards you still feel uncomfortable with the controls most of the time. The gameplay on the most part will vary on the player. With this in mind however, Apache: Air Assault does hold its own, and while not all will appreciate the game for what it is, it’s worth checking out if flight simulation games tickle your fancy. Combat involves multitasking and isn’t aimed towards the casual gamer.
