Heli Heroes
About
HELI HEROES updates the old-school "shoot'em up" arcade machine games to new dimensions on today's PCs. You command an AH-64 Apache Longbow or a Russian Hokum helicopter. The goal is to fly through various levels and carry out the mission objectives. During the missions you will find different types of weapons and additional offensive and defensive systems. The game's look and feel is made up of a 3D landscape that you fly your helicopter over, through and into. The mix of reality and Sci-Fi missions vary from destroying Iraqi oilfields up to fighting against the "Big Boss" enemies in Alaska.STORYIt all started, not with a bang, but with a whimper…
Revolution Now, the most formidable terrorist group in existence, is on the brink of creating a new world order. Your challenge, if you are crazy enough to accept, is to defeat them at all costs.

Heli Heroes reviews and comments

A game... Charming?
Graphics that have very badly viellis.
We don't even fall into the "retro" argh...
A French dubbing that even Hitman the Cobra could envy, mistranslated which is more...
It might be interesting to play but as soon as the tutorial it is quite galley already to make the 100%.
The game wants to "innovate" by adding changes of directions.. But no pity, it would almost give me a sickness motion.
Back on French dubbing... that smells like old Camembert.
The comments of the pilots are purely clicked and poorly translated.. and intonation.. Argh..
Would that be the same intonation as in anti terror force?.. I feel that.
Aside from this: the chopper is too handy and... I know they are "Heli Heroes" but... I don't think we can cross a Valley from left to right in 1/3 seconds in real life.
Yes I blame the game for being too fanciful and abused.
Armaments are unbalanced. A rocket that inflicts less damage than a burst of Gatling?!
No, thank you.
Require you to load each parameter beforehand... This is the first time I've seen this.
It's a small detail but.. Urgh is frustrating...
It's medium-level hype.
Yes I am in a bad mood it can possibly influence this evaluation.
Short. Play there then.. at your own risk.
especially if you are fans of GALs I have seen better cheaps games such as AirScape-fall of the gravity (enjoy in y'a-€90) that deserves more "highlight"..........
Certainly if I was 7 years old and I had found such a game on a Flash site such as jeuxjeuxjeux.com I would have loved.

The Game is bad and it was bad at the time.
The Graphics were rather mies even by the time And the Canning Effects don't exactly Rip that out again.
The Controls (as far as you find out) are sluggish and spongy.
The "3D" sound is good and has a certain Wumms-but this completely ruin the suffering voices.
You are forced to start playing a Tutorial, because it is only when you have tutorial 04 through you can even start a Mission.
The "Tutorial," however, consists of "He, we should be to the other Base"-pretty much nothing is explained.
The only Buttons that appear are menu buttons.
So you sit doof there and, if necessary, you can hammer all the Keys one by one.
In my Case, this did not even have an Effect-at some point the Heli took off-which, however, was not related to a Push of a Button on my part.
The Story is as usual in the arcade shooters of the time-KAPUTKLOPPEN WEIL BAUM!
Overall, you wonder how such a Game could get 80 + Spin-in of value in renowned Magazines at the time.
It was the same Year, By the Way, in which the Mafia, Serious Sam Second Encounter, GTA Vice City and Splinter Cell Came out-they all looked better apart from the Effects.
To The above conclusion comes that the Game has aged extremely badly.
The Graphics look like papped on top of each other on new Screens (is the Heli itself 3D at all?).
For an arcade shooter, it's too gclean and slow today.
The Game runs with such pitifully high FPS pay the Parts of the Engine apparently can't cope anymore (on Average it was about 1500fps for me).
If you like to look for old helicopter games, you better grab Hellcopters.
There was more Variation and the somewhat dreary graphics probably aged much better.
