All of sudden, an apache game! I haven’t seen one of these since the Genesis era. Dosen’t make a difference though, still don’t like them.

there used to be a couple of Apache games on the PC, back in early 2000. But those were simulations, not arcade games like this one.

Hey Major, they finally have a helicopter game yay!!

I actually kinda enjoyed it. Never thought I’d say that about a helicopter ONLY game. But it was satisfying to blow stuff up from the skies.

Enjoying it also. Set your controls to realistic to have pure fun and compete with the Apache. Very accurate flight physics (I guess thanks to Boing?). Gotta buy it when it is released. Kinect it, Activision. Then Ill buy that spy-eye by MS

Hey I wonder if you can “rain down destruction” on unarmed photo journalists and open fire on children in this game? Or is this not a U.S. Army sanctioned simulator?

This game is so awesome on realistic mode! Just as difficult as the real thing, almost, but wow, been looking forward for this ever since it was first announced for consoles.

Incidentally however, being a game for such a niche market it may not sell terribly well on a home console. I sure as heck am going to pick it up, though. Just like IL2-Sturmovik; Birds of Prey, yes I recalled that name without reference😀, the controls are beautiful if intimidating for non die hard fans of simulation genres.

Loved it!

Last Apache game I played was Gunship on the C64.. This demo looks promising for the full game.😎

Not really my kind of thing. I have enough trouble with the hornets from Halo 3. I’d like to give Sorb props for being awesome though.

The demo is actually quite enjoyable. Get it now if you haven’t.

Erm, all of the links in the post give me 404 pages. A search on Xbox.com for ‘apache’ gives zero results. When will MS ever make Xbox.com into a working website? Or, better yet, make Xbox Live truly international so checking for availability of content isn’t neccesary anymore.

Sorry for breaking the complaint-free comment streak…

@Adaptor: All links work for me in the UK, even though they are USA links, so sounds like the issue is at your end.😉
Searching on Xbox.com for the game _IS_ broken though, as you only find it when you input the name as this: Apache-Air-Assault (with hiphens), rather than just Apache, or Apache: Air Assault, etc. :-]

Thought it would be kind of boring – but really enjoyed it. Was getting the Firebirds vibe.
