Type: Simulation Skill Level: ...
Players: 1 Available: Fall 2001

To the avid gamer who seeks an immersive and realistic experience, simulations can be regarded as one of the most exciting genres to engage. Following upon our recent coverage, NovaLogic has given us a look into the latest installment of the Comanche series, based upon the U.S. Army's next generation armed reconnaissance helicopter - the RAH-66 by Boeing-Sikorsky.

Comanche 4 will give players a virtual ticket aboard a Comanche helicopter and discover the thrill and excitement going into battle. In addition, the scalable flight model will provide the reality aspect prized by sim enthusiasts.

The helicopter's versatility in reconnaissance ground attack and air combat roles will be emphasized in the game's all-new missions. Players will get to fly with the Comanche's signature low observable technology and swoop into real-world locations including urban settings and rural environments around the world such as tropical islands, desolate deserts and lush, tree-laden jungles.

Comanche 4 explodes with stunning graphics, including realistic rotor wash effects both on the water and the ground. Plus, the game will also feature a 3-D virtual cockpit and weapons of destruction including the 20mm cannon, 70 mm rockets, air-to-air heat-seeking AIM-9 Stingers and the laser-guided AGM-114 Hellfire missile. Players will also have to dodge fire from ground troops wielding hand-held Stingers.

"This will be a very fun, fast-paced game which is easy to fly, so that players can focus on enemy air and ground attacks," said Wes Eckhart, producer of Comanche 4. "Plus we are planning some killer co-op mulitplayer action straight out of the box, where 16 players can battle it out in the skies. It'll blow you away."

Look for its release later this Fall.
