After being sorely disappointed by the helicopter combat of Apache Air Assault last year, it’s nice to see there’s still some hope for the well-armed whirlybird enthusiast in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon.
One thing becomes crystal clear while watching this video: This is not a realistic helicopter simulation. Apaches do not roll like that at low speeds. Not unless there’s electric guitar music in the background.
Not that I’m complaining. If I wanted realism I’d have become a pilot. I just want to shoot things while hovering. Looks like Assault Horizon has me covered.

I really like the chopper part, it’s not as realistic as Apache Assault, but that game was frustratingly hard at points (nobody bothered to go through and play-balance it) while this is actually…. fun.
