  • @EliteDWB no, the controls in this game is more realistic the in bc2. and i bet 20 bucks on that you are one of those people that constantly crash the heli because he belives that he is a good pilot.

  • saw this other day for 8 quid mmm think i will get it looks cool gamespot gives it 75 (good review )

  • Is the an option to set the controls to lefty so it's more similar to BF3 controls?

  • 2 things. First I didn't find the handbook of any great help when trying to work out how to target etc. 2nd not being able to mute the damn background music without muting all sound FX. To me, having this playing all time gave it that arcade feel. Apart from these 2 things it's not a bad game. I agree that it takes a long time to come to terms with flying the damn thing.

  • The real pain in the ass was engaging enemy helicopters.

  • THE GUNNER SUCKS

  • I going 2 pass on this 1. (+[__]+)

  • warm gun

  • I was a badass chopper pilot in bc2, i assume i will be in bf3 (i flew low and fast, unlike those high and slow tools that will now reap the "rewards" for their lack of skill/common sense) so i guess the learning curve will be significantly less for me?

  • reminds me of Red Shark

    

  • best game i ever played. okay, together with wings of prey:)

  • The best game which has best terrain view I have ever seen. Better than DCC black shark. DCC black shark lacks in good terrain view.

  • Thank you, Mark. Without you, I would have missed this awesome game.

  • The controls for this game are SHIT !!I wanted to buy game and became annoyed with the demo...

    The heli controls for BFBC2 under the BFBC1 defaults are AWESOME....Super fun and super easy.

  • @lsi624 Are you trying the Training controls or the Realistic controls? The plane is really hard to fly in Training.

  • this review is bad ,the game is cool

  • I dont even have 2 think when im playin apache i found the controlls well thought out

  • Anybody notice the trophy saying "Got to Da Choppa"

  • Rooster Teeth's "Rage Quit" sent me here. xD

  • Stupid question. Are the controls & control of the chopper the exact same as that of the chopper in Battlefield games [particularly bc1 & 2]?

  • @xkrazyxboix101 kinda. There's 2 control modes. Training and realistic. Training is for most people. Its alot like the controls for bc 1 but a little more restrictive and unrealistic to make it easier to fly. If you're used to bc 1 and want something like that go for training. Realistic is honestly not that hard if you know how to use it but for most people it feels natural because of the controls are not traditional. If you're unsure try the demo on xbl

  • who is this guy? hes not sure why the helicopter is off center? he said that at the exact moment in the video where he was zooming past it to make an accuate shot. i guess you'd like a facefull of rotor when you zoom in?

  • I fucking loved this game. I grew up playing flight sims, and one of my favorite titles was Jane's AH-64D Longbow. And you know what? When you use the advanced controls, it really is almost a sim. It really takes me back.

    My only complaint is that there is no Co-op via XBL.

  • Reminds of Soviet Strike, buying it!

  • this reminds me of IL-2 Sturmovik, really awesome when you know the controls ;)

  • oh no a dino in a ah-64 XD

  • I think he's right on some "things" not games my bad

  • It's a helicopter it's of corse it's hard I think he's right on some games but the default controls are the best and the most simplest once you get the hang of it and once you Learn every thing on you HUD objectives are quite easy to figure out and on the 360 the x button tells your objectives and yes it's not easy for first timers but theirs a lot to learn and that makes it very good

  • @Bhook002 How long is this game? Are there any "free flight" mods?

  • Does this game have a mission generator or better yet a random/dynamic campaign like the Gunship/Gunship 2000 games of the past?

    Or is it just a set of canned missions only?

  • i love helicopters

  • One day I want to compile all of Mark's video game ideas andput them into a long epic CGR game!

  • I gave up trying to get this game to work with my controls. (PC version) It was extremely disappointing! Not intuitive in the least and I've been flying flight sims for years. I never got used the exterior view being off center either. I agree with the reviewer, I stopped trying to give this game a chance because setting up the controls seemed hopeless! Time to sell on Ebay!

  • I LOVE AH-APACHE

  • I wish Activision wasn't so lame and actually updated the console versions.

    If anyone is interested in buying this game, please buy the PC version. It boasts a Versus mode and a Mission editor.

  • reminds me of nuclear strike for ps1

  • can i go to another country with this thing?

  • I actually didn't find the controls too hard in the demo. To be honest, I like "Realistic" better than training.

  • you forgot the customization. you can put decals on the heli, and even choose camos

  •  I have Apache Air Assault videos and other games too! check them out

  • is ther CO-OP & multyplayer?

  • @GingerbreadMan1994

    yes there is.. i ordered the game and in the description it says that 2player can b 2 ppl in the same chopper or 1-4 multiplayer missions

  • "in the camera pulled back perspective" you mean 3rd person?

  • @ericmarshall19 caught that too, and he's a game reviewer?

  • There's already a game with helicopters fighting against dinosaurs. It's called Prehistoric Isle 2 for the neo geo.

  • shit review. No points or grades?

  • the 360 is just now getting this game

    wth?

    thanks dude

  • @GordanMFreeman ah i think u will find its WTF!!!

  • @sumthingdum eh

  • @GordanMFreeman Shouldn't you be saving the human race from an inter galactic/dimensional threat of immeasurable proportions? Or diddling Alex?

  • @JTtheLAR lol

  • 7 people have bad mouse aim

  • reminds me of desert strike for the sega genesis...

  • @timma500 I would love to see an updated version of Desert Strike and Jungle Strike on LIVE arcade.

  • "There's definitely a lot of room for improvement, primarily in the mission objectives. Half the time it's just not really clear what you're supposed to do."

    Welcome to military intelligence. :D

  • @blackhawkpilot4 hahaha hell ya!

  • @jacobpf4 do you fly the same heliacopter all the time?

  • @nerd8980 Mostly yes, the British models of not only AH-1's but AH-64x's. Apaches are used only by the British and U.S.A. ... The U.S. flies Apache AH-64 Longbow model which I want to say is the newest model of Apache. Most of our Apache's are equiped with what we call bunker busters ( large bombs that go underground and explode) and hellfire missiles. If we go on fire missions we Have the standard 6 hellfires, 4 AT4 missiles and 2 launcher tubes of rockets.

  • you should be able to fly different helicopters. Even carry soldiers and land them in a war or something. it would be better

  • @Firepaw389 Flying a Chinook or Osprey would be awesome.

  • @sharpshooter740 then u should get arma 2. they got both

  • I do wish they'd give you a chance when you've been hit (like PC simulators) to at least try to land the aircraft safely.

    Like,"[Boom] Tail rotor's gone!", press "X" to auto-rotate, and then give you a chance to try and set her down gently. Perhaps penalize the player less for not killing yourself and your gunner. I mean, less than you'd be penalized for flying into the face of a mountain or something.

  • justplayed the demo its got that lord of war one in it it took me forever to findout where to land.

  • @yugiohbros115

    The navigation system didn't get much attention. A player should, at least, be able to bring up the satellite view and see some easily identifiable markers for probable target/enemy positions, AO borders, FARPs and home bases.

    Ideally, they would've just integrated this into the HUD like a normal flight sim. An arrow on the heading indicator has worked fine for years. Why would they change that?

  • I'm not a big fan of flight sim games... I was on and off about getting this game, but I traded in some games last week and got this... I gotta say I am on like mission 4 or 5 and the game is fun... I think the co-op thing looks interesting also...Game does have a learning curve so if you're not patient and are expecting something like Hawx or Ace Combat, avoid this game at all costs... For me this is something new and I am def enjoying it.

  • Do not buy this until its like $5 cuz controls are craptacular

  • @pirakaproductions bullshit controls are really easy, i think its just you.. maybe you fail?

  • Sound BUG ! All platforms PC PS3 Xbox360 , rotor blade sound FAILS in cockpit view ! Activision also has a major DLC for this game and will not release it !! $49.99 for a game with no updates and a major SOUND BUG !!!! THINK ABOUT IT !

  • @Mr351Nova ya i thought about it and i still want it

  • If you play AAA using -keyboard- in a REALISTIC mode,

    give up now. Don't waste your precious time.

    A helicopter by itself is an unstable flying refrigerator that keeps the whole contraption a constant need to adjust the control every goddamn seconds. It is not fixed wing aircraft that you can just move your eyes somewhere sexy for a few seconds.

    The idea of an Apache Attack Helo is because the army wants something that pops in and pops out just like that, without a certain flightpath

  • First of all........... If you understand the concept of how a helicopter moves, using no joystick in a realistic mode will only be a waste of your time.

    Second of all, THE GAME is gooooooooood.

    The only bitching I have for AAA is more realistic number of the enemy and time constraint. 8 HF 32Roc +1200 cannot hold by sane number 20 T90 60Fenneks and all while being told to defend friendly units.

    If you are heli fans.................... THIS IS FOR YOU

  • ever heard of auto hover? it helps u alot if u wanna use the gunner

  • this game is good if you know how to play it fool

  • Comment removed

  • nice review!

  • I enjoy it, he is right that the game could use some refinement, but the multi-tasking is very realistic I mean for god sakes apache pilots use their eyes seperate from each other. I got the controls quickly, but I switched the sticks in the options menu and turned the gunner time to 4 as well. Also it does help if you like helicopters, probably one of the closest portrayals to the actual handling of a real helicopter in video game, equal to or better than FSX!

  • Comment removed

  • Comache! Is that the game that was made by novalogic? They had a tank simulator series, an fps series (delta force), a flight simulator series and then the comache series. Damn i spent alot of my childhood playing those games xD

  • is this similar to ace combat

  • Hmmm... Desert Strike for the SEGA Megadrive....nostalgia :)

  • I like the music for the title sequence.

  • They should've made the damn controls easier.

  • @OrthodoxParadoxBox Are you playing on the training mode?

  • @OrthodoxParadoxBox it is easy if u just try it for like 1 houer

  • @Lamb00FGoD I Agree but it depends if you just like Aerial Combat games. My Brother is an Apache Pilot in the military, As well as me in the future and i like just Aerial Combat games in general. I do like Battlefield and just cause 2 etc. But you know this gives me some full on packed adrenlin just thinking about really.

  • This game looks really really cool,and I would pick it up,but ! games today have so much freedom. I could do this same thing plus ALOT more in Bad Company 2, Grand Theft Auto,Just Cause 2, and other games as well. Same reason I wont buy Gran Turismo 5 ... it's time to move from the 1 point of view games ... I want to get out the car and tune it,parachute out the plane and fight my way back to base...blah blah blah...

  • got this on the 360. It works well with the cyborg fly 9 flight stick. it recognizes the controller and has its ow n set up for it. still tough to fly

  • hahaha lol

  • you reviews is crap

  • @Goboens your english sucks.if you don't like them, why don't you get the fuck off?

  • @Goboens His reviews are great you just are very stupid.

  • @Goboens Uhh dude,i wanna see you make a better review...stupid kid

  • Like oh no we've discovered a tyrannosaurus rex eating people and the only thing in range is an apache helicopter

  • you need to make that video game with the dinnosaurs. that actually sounds cooler than any basic terrorist fighting/some russian ex soviet state sorta bullshit

  • IF there is a sequel they NEED music.

  • The hardest thing about this game is landing the Apache on realistic difficuilty.

  • @Ps3GamerVideos Cant you just go into auto hover and lower down in elevation..?

  • @ungaownzu

    Nope, not that I know of

  • I like the fact that the heli is off center. Gives you more to look at and doesn't get in the way.

    Awesome review though... I'm getting the game!

  • DIE DINOSAURS lol

  • this game is like Nuclear Strike and Soviet Strike thumbs up :D

  • I just noticed that "Black Hawk" sounds a lot like "Black Cock". I'm just sayin...

  • @redsfan269 That's so old. You know that there's a porno named "black cock down"? ;)

  • @Rqoiz oh... well.... i hate being late.

  • @redsfan269 fucking rwj fag

  • I like show this game game to my dad who is an Apache pilot just to get his feedback on this.

  • the demo confused the shit out of me

  • Get to da choppa!

  • I really want to kill dinosaurs with an apache now that you have mentioned it. Why did you have to go and do that?

  • how have u recorded in game??

    Fraps?

    plz answer

  • Great review... BEST review for Apache Air Assault

  • Comment removed

  • Good review, I think I rent to begin with.

    I am a huge fan when it comes to flight sims, especially helicopter ones. I would love one day to find one that matches or beats the sim and gameplay of either Jane's Longbow or Gunship 2000, the ;ater letting you fly different helicopters.

  • Comment removed

  • I really liked black dawn for ps1.

  • should i buy this game anyone reply :)!!! i have a ps3 slim :)

  • @james65508 Why don´t you download demo, try it, and see for yourself. Just and advice: Try it on realistic setting, because on training it is boring.

  • @NakedSteak i already downloaded the demo and game is awesome its like the old ps1 game Soviet strike and Nuclear Strike :)

  • Play the demo before the game,that makes it easier to control the heli without worrying that you haven't had enough air time.

  • ive waited year after year for a helicopter game coming to a console....about time we got something different to the usual run of the mill 1st, 3rd person shooters out there.

  • Is this game good?

    yes.

    Surely this game must suck!

    I am serious, this game is awesome... and don't call me Shirley.

  • lol...this guy is so hilariously entertaining, it's ridiculous.

    "Apache II - kills more dinosaurs before 7 am than most meteorites do all millennium."

  • There's a damn good reason why attack helicopters have two pilots.

  • I love helicopters but I hate this game for its controls!!!!!! Just horrible!

  • lol i got lost at the end of lord of war to but i still really like the game

  • this game have a lots of explosions and the gameplay is good enough

  • I've always hated how in the winter, the shower is always ridiculously cold.

    A missile shower seems like it would be delightfully warm!

  • whats the song at 0:02-10

  • what this song in 0:17 - 0:40 ?

  • @marmolada14 Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries, its classical music, get some culture (Y)

  • @GraveD1gger thx :D

  • lol helicopter hawx

  • You get to fly a hind, awesome. I am seriously going to get this.

  • @gundog39 and a uav with rockets and thats just the demo :)

  • @MrGametrailers7 uav with rockets in the demo? wer, all i can get is the extras with the hind, survelliance heli and apache an 3 missions

  • @Dommybird How do you get the UAV in the demo???

  • @hurlingstar1 thats what i was asking

  • played the demo, controls were too bitchy to be enjoyable. the helicopters in mercenaries 2 handle better

  • lol

    -Got To Da Choppa!-

  • If you wanna see Helicopters killing dinosaurs, you should play Prehistoric Isle 2 for the Neo Geo. Cheers!

  • Every other poster is a pilot haha.. As if!

  • Although the controls worked fairly well once you got the hang of them, as a helicopter pilot I was really frustrated with how you turn....helicopters do not turn during forward flight by turning with the tail rotor, they roll sideways slightly, just like a plane does. While hovering, yeah, you turn by using the tail rotor :X Still fun blowing stuff up though.

  • @Scarecrowswdsmn @Dominoes282 He's playing easy mode, on normal and hard there's no tilt limit or autocentering and tail rotation is only effective at low speeds. Still not completely realistic, but at least they tried.

    By the way, there's one mission in the game that's almost impossible to beat on easy. You have to chase an enemy helicopter and tilt limit doesn't let you go fast enough...

  • @Scarecrowswdsmn if you use the realistic mode you fly like a real heli

  • Hey I love your videos but as a pilot, I can tell you it is a LOT more advanced than in video games because in real life they don't have auto centering, or tilt limits. The only plus is someone else is in the gunner seat while you fly but still. Keep doing these videos and If you watch G4, don't cave in to sponsors and start putting up videos about campus pd or cops or any crap like that. Regards ;)

  • @Dominoes282 use realistic mode its the closest thing ever

  • The game looks really good

  • Dinosaurs?

    Anyone remember that Helicopter shmup for the SNES? I think you had to blow up a T-Rex at one point.

  • insane cockpit graphics

  • anal

  • "Got To Da Choppa" lol

  • old desert strike gameplay :)

    And it looks even better on the PC!

  • Just proves that graphics does not a game make. That shit is pretty! why is it not getting a 10?

  • @owensoft Mark does not give ratings, therefore it could not get a 10.

  • i like that song you used at the begining

  • atleast its not dumbed down so that 12 year olds can play it

  • You rock this review is brilliant !

  • REVIEW GT5. I am tired of all these other garbage reviewers that reviewed GT5 5% of the way through. You are a huge GT fan. I trust that you will play GT5 through before you review it.

  • I was just about to send you guys a message saying that this game was out. After that Medal of honor review I was in the mood for some helicopter action and I surprisingly found this by accident. You guys are on the ball!

  • hopefully its not like this in ace combat AH when your flying a apache

  • i love these reviews

  • Lmfao xD

  • dude your the best game reviewer i ever saw...lmao dinosaurs

  • I was looking forward to this game, but then I found out about the game's ultra-hardcore control setup. To me, Just Cause 2 had the best helicopter controls and I think this game would have been more accessable had it used that control scheme.

  • i'm view 17000. cool.

  • @nyeguitarist me 2

  • @nyeguitarist me to! Twinsies! :D

  • @WinterSoilder me 3 triplets

  • i love the Apocalypse Now reference in the beginning :)

  • This game is exactly what the reviewer wanted medal of honor to be

  • CGR Kills More Dolphins By 7:00 a.m.

    Than most people do all day!!!
