Apache: Air Assault reviews and impressions

[The_Goalie_94]

I just had my tail fly off. span for a bit, then blew up. I also took a head on RPG hit, while in cockpit view. It was amazing. My heli just blew up. I also managed to do a few barrel rolls while flying through a valley.

May first crash was in cockpit view when my tail rotor hit a tree. I started spinning then the ground came up. Epic.

Can we fly the BLACKHAWK? My favorite helo is the Huey, but i geuss thats out of the question for sure.

Its epic isnt it!! Absolutely brilliant. Especially in cockpit view when you can see what it is thats hit you or youve hit!! I love it, im hooked!! haha.

Not sure if we can fly the blackhawk...maybe in MP co op, but i doubt it. We can fly the Hind though.

Huey would be nice

Maybe we can start a vote for DLC. I only played for half an hour and can't play for 2 days. I hope to play a few hours on the wweekend. It is very epic. THe damage is intense! Can't wait for the full game so i can customize my owm bird.

In case you didn't know, i prefer helicopters over planes. Sorry plane fans

After completing the 3 missions of the demo it unlocked a new apache and some skins. I thought maybe i could use these in the missions again but it turns out you cant. Its good how you can go to "extras" and put stickers etc onto your apache. I spent a while making my own haha, redy eyes at the front and a nice badge at the side. Nothing t ofancy, but looked good then when you exit the demo you lose it all.

Im hooked on this demo i must admit.

As for DLC, anton has already said its a posibility, but its not down to the devs, its down to the publishers and whether or not they want to publish it. Lets hope this game gets enough sales

Cant wait for some XBL co op missions!! Some epic games will be recorded and talked about in this forum no doubt.

I just got done playing the demo, and it was pretty nice. Until my PS3 froze!

I had no idea this was coming out until I spotted the demo download in the PSN store last night. I've always wanted a decent helicopter game (I'm another who favours rotors over fixed wing ), so I did a bit of Google research whilst the demo was downloading and couldn't believe my luck when I saw it was developed by the same team behind IL-2!

I played it for about an hour last night and loved it. I thought there were one or two very minor flaws with the physics (I was playing on realistic) and a bit more of help with the controls would have been useful (e.g. using the satellite view) but otherwise its great and a definate purchase for me.

Highlight of the demo for me was realising that, not only could you switch to the gunners position on the fly, but the TADS includes a FLIR mode as well. Brilliant!

Nah, we dont need a secretary!! We'll just the female pilot from one of the missions

What we need is some damn good groud crews, a bit of training, and a lot of luck!!

Was it just me that randomly listens to ride of the valkyries while playing this sometimes? haha


Have noticed that on realistic, your fuel doesnt seem to go down. Unless its just a very slow process. Ive not looked into this to much really so dont take my word as gospel.

What i do enjoy is when i have used up all my Hellfires, rather than wait 3 ins for them to re arm, i love flying to the nearest heli pad and rearming and repairing. Great feature.


Great game so far, just a few minor flaws but hopefully they are only on the demo (the sound issue has not been reported on the ps3)
