Customer Reviews of Gunship!

Mike's Right! It IS pretty good!
I picked up this game over a year ago. Played it on an PIII 800 with a so-so graphics card. Not too bad, but not too impressive, either. But, like everything else, it's all relative.

My friend Mike (the September 2002 reviewer) said it best when he titled his review "Cut it some slack". It's a game. It can't be 100% accurate, no matter how hard the developers try. Heck, we pay contractors to make multi-million dollar simulators for us to train in, and even those aren't perfect (but they're pretty close).
As far as an entertaining game/sim, you could do a lot worse. On a slightly faster machine with a better graphics card, I'd have to say this game really shines. Unfortunately, it's almost too easy in that the game is so forgiving when it comes to crashes/damage to the helicopters. If only they were that durable in real life.

By now, this game is in the dollar bin. Ripe for the pickin'.

Stunning
hey, wussup. just wanted to tell ya that this game is awesome.i own Gunship! for 2 years now and i love it. i ran this game on a piece of S#!t computer loaded with crappy celeron @ 1.7Ghz, 256 mb SDRAM, and a lot of real nasty stuff. but to tell you graphix ran like a bat outta hell. this all comes down to the fact that
Gunship! is able to run incredibly well on low powered "dinosaurs". WEll lets get to the game itself
The area of operations is most of the Europe.it is all filled with not photoreal but visually stunning scenery: trees, airfields, 3D buildings, water, and the most importantly the cities. ah there are also forests to hide in. talking of aircraft Quality it is visually amazing. helicopters are incredibly detailed. on the well powered machine you could probly see inside of the gun muzzle. weapon effects are amazing. there is bautiful muzzle flash, missile smoke, explosions. there are also AI enemy and friendly forces made up of jets, whirlybirds, ground forces and nicely animated 3D soldiers with weapons in their hands. enemy and frinedly tanks have rotating guns and posess nice recoil effects when firing. AI (artificial intelligency) is also well detailed.
When you get to the battle area get ready for possibly the most realistic Air to ground combat ever in desktop simulation. you fire @ bad guys and they fire @ you. get ready to dodge SAm's IR guided handheldmissile from ground troops, heavy artillery fire, and if you get hit make sure you planned a safe escape path or get ready to autorotate down to the ground with betty teling ya wot dont work. that once happened to me in a tiger helicopter.once i got down and crash landed a russian t-80 started circing around me. i waiter for him to stop moving then i aimed my damaged cannon and fired a long burst. ya know the rest.
The bottom line is Gunship! is the most realistic military flight sim i've ever used. i you dont already have it i strongly suggest you get a copy of Gunship!. trust me u wont be disappointed.
well i gotta go to work now. thanx for reading.
