Fun and engaging...

User Rating: 8.4 | Nuclear Strike PC
By AgentNick | Review Date:
An interesting addition to the old Strike series, this game revolutionized the series shortly before its conclusion with the cancellation of Future Strike. The new ability to not only fly the AH-64 Apache helicopter, but also the fabled Huey, the Cobra, an AV-8B Harrier II, as well as an AH-6 little bird news chopper. Also, the Abrams battle tank and a hovercraft hop into the action as drivable vehicles. The story spans a new, not surprisingly given the title, nuclear threat to the whole of civilization.

The gameplay is fairly action packed and is definately fun, while the mission variety keeps things interesting and keeps you on your toes as you span from Crimea to Pyongyang. The mechanics of the game are efficient, and the graphics and animations are enjoyable to watch. Watching a tank shatter, having flown some hundred feet in the air after receiving a Sidewinder missile (isn't that an Air-to-Air weapon, oh well) to the behind, can be almost a giddy-laugh-inducing act.

A short game and thus decidedly deserving a short review, an isometric helicopter title never got better than this game. Enjoy.
