After all, you are taking the reins of a powerful piece of weaponry, and there's a lot of stuff you can lay waste to throughout the lengthy campaign.Īs you delve into Apache: Air Assault, you're given a few modes to check out. However, once you get a handle on the controls and piloting, and you figure out which view best suits you, it can be quite fun. I certainly hurled a fair share of expletives at the screen over the course of the main campaign, and I came dangerously close to cracking the TV screen a couple of times. At that point, I'd toss the controller on the couch and switch to something else for a breather. I struggled with the review for a while because I'd make some progress in the missions only to encounter a particular level that was unrelenting in its difficulty and precision. The helicopter sim aspect is probably going to put off a great deal of people from even trying Apache. Apache is neither of those things it's hard to play well, and it's even harder to finish. Most air combat games on consoles are strictly arcade affairs, so the controls aren't nearly as difficult to wrap your head and hands around, and they tend to be pretty forgiving. I can't even remember the last time I touched a game that focused on helicopter-based missions outside of the classic EA series, Jungle Strike and the subsequent Strike games, so Apache: Air Assault certainly stands alone among other air combat titles. Instead, it's such a unique console simulation title that it'll take a lot of time to wrap your head around it. Apache isn't difficult because it's unfair I can't even say that I suffered cheap deaths. It can be tough as nails, even if you're playing on the easiest setting - which I did - and if you start to bump it up to Realistic or Veteran mode, well, good luck, fine gamer. Apache: Air Assault isn't a game that you'll want to approach lightly.
