Reviews

“Gunship! is pretty much everything we hoped it would be. There's enough action in this box to make it more than worth the buy for any sim enthusiast who's been looking for the right copter to fly. Even if simulations aren't the bread and butter of your gaming collection, you may still want to give this one a shot. It offers up a lot of action to the arcade gamer looking for something a little different. Chances are you may very well be playing this thing well into World War III.”
8/10 – IGN

“While Gunship! has serious realism problems, it has absolutely gorgeous graphics. The terrain is particularly impressive, and it conveys a great sense of being airborne. In fact, the major reason that Gunship! should be considered a flight action game is that its strengths parallel those of a good first-person shooter: It looks pretty, and it's easy to blow things up. Therein lies the game's appeal: While hard-core pilots will groan at the oversimplified avionics, casual sim pilots will enjoy the "point-and-shoot" simplicity of the game, as well as the ability to make just about everything on the map explode. Even trees seem to be filled with some kind of combustible material; they vanish with an explosion when hit by cannon fire.”
6.7/10 – Gamespot

About This Game

Fly low and strike deep in the re-invention of the Gunship flight combat franchise. In Gunship!, you're the point man for WWIII -- Russian forces have amassed on one side, NATO on the other in a flashpoint conflict in Eastern Europe. You are about to deploy the most devastating weapon in the inventory of war: the helicopter Gunship! Finesse, raw power, stealth and speed blend in a high-wire balancing act of exacting proportions. In the 21st century, the fate of war can turn on one micro-engagement in the epicenter of action.

Okay,

First things first. Gunship! is NOT a new game. As a matter of fact, it's so old that most young gamers probably never heard of it. But, that's not as bad as it sounds, because Gunship! is a good game.
It's not perfect on all fronts, but the fact that you can play this in Co-Op is awesome. (Pilot/Gunner)
Yes, I know, the store page doesn't mention it, but it has multiplayer Co-Op support.
If you experience any problems with the multiplayer part you might want to start a single player game first. (You had to do that all the time, prior to hosting a session) That's what worked back then.

This game was a wonderful surprise!!!!!! For a game that came out around 2000 (or so) it still has a lot of WOW to it. Thre graphics are a bit dated but the immersion factor is definitely there!!!!........being of the old school (the early years of PC flight simulator games) this is a big plus for me. I have windows 7 (64 bit) with an average computer system and the game runs perfect....no problems what so ever.

If you like the old Gunship franchise, this may be for you. If you do not own a joystick, get one. Or get stuck in the gunners seat giving directions to the pilot where to go. Store page really should get the key reference card from "Replacementdocs" (see forum) since there are plenty of them and keys are not bound to normal ones, i.e. i expected Map to be on M (Mike) not on N (november). I do not get the "Gunship feeling" from this game, its more a feeling of "Havoc" or "A10 tank buster", even if it says that Microprose published it. Unlike what IGN said, you can get realism in flight by changing flightmode to - realistic (Duuh).

So - should you buy it? Why not, chopper sims are not that common - and this is one of the better ones.

Yeah Sorry I played this along long time ago,, in todays world the graphics are horrible and even though they have files to support the thrustmaster joystick sidewinder etc they dont seem to work at all.......

Please unless you like spending hours trying to revive this game to work in todays world,, take a PASS the video on the store front looks far better than you will get on your comp........
