Just finished the first of the five campaigns in Comanche 4. Cool game, no doubt. But Novalogic has once again delivered a game (helicopter sim) that's away from reality. Yeah sure, the RAH-66 will be undoubtetly one of the most powerful choppers once operational, but hey... a little bit closer to reality. Pleeeeeeee-ase! I completed the campaign in less than forty minutes (5 missions) spitting destruction to an unprecedented and laughable rate... I crashed a couple of times by hitting the earth. Missiles and enemy-ground fire were only licking my thick hide... 8)
Moreover: the radio chatter (Hollywood-style phrases), the enemies' elementary fighting capabilities, the destructive potential of the US weapons... Jeez! Give me a break...

Bottom line: Amazing arcade game, awesome graphics that really take advantage of GeForce's 3/4 capabilities... but again away from reality, as all Novalogic games...

I agree...I've only played the demo (single mission & multiplayer)...not very realistic, but a whole heck of a lot of fun...especially blowing each other out of the sky in multiplayer!

Thumbs up on arcade playability...you'll be disappointed if you expect a full-on helicopter simulator.

The graphics are outstanding. The sound of the Comanche is unbelievable too.

For arcade and sheer fun... it's great! :)
