The game's story is set against diverse backdrops, including South America and Eastern Europe, featuring creative missions inspired by real-world events like "Black Hawk Down." However, the lack of dialogue and narrative depth leaves the experience feeling somewhat dull, despite the engaging mission variety and squad-based gameplay. Players appreciate the challenge of missions but note that some can be nearly impossible, requiring multiple attempts to succeed.
“Campaign mode: very creative, overtones of South America, Somalia including a 'Black Hawk Down' mission and pirates at sea, and Eastern Europe.”
“The missions vary and are challenging and fun.”
“It's fun to wreak havoc, but after two or three missions you have to be a freaking expert, even on training mode.”
“I guess I need to buy a joystick...? There is absolutely no story dialogue, which makes the game dull.”
“Those games are years older than this game and provided a much better feel for flying a helicopter, plus gave a decent story to follow.”
