    The story in Gunship 2000 is praised for its depth, featuring extensive missions, pilot progression, and engaging crew management. The inclusion of commanding AI wingmen after reaching lieutenant rank adds a unique strategic element not commonly found in similar games. Overall, the narrative structure supports challenging gameplay that keeps players invested.

    • “Gunship 2000 still, to this day, hasn't been surpassed in terms of missions, pilot progression, crew management, and more.”
    • “My favorite part about Gunship 2000 that I haven't found in other games is that once you've reached the rank of lieutenant you get four AI wingmen to command to help you complete your missions.”
    • “I remember typing in c:\gs2000 and then executing the game back in the day, then throwing the card keyboard overlay over my PC keyboard, watching the intro, and sitting down whilst scoffing my spicy tomato pot noodle in a rush, while my hard-earned Comanche made its way to the primary and secondary missions.”
    • “You can't play the 1986 version beyond three missions because it crashes.”
    • “Gunship is less crash-prone than the previous version, which used to crash after the third mission, but others have now reported getting well past that point.”
    • “I've only played a few missions before dying; this game is tough but had no crashes.”

    The graphics are outdated and not as advanced as modern standards like Arma 3, but they evoke a strong sense of nostalgia for 90's flight simulator fans. While not visually impressive, the game’s playability and content compensate well for its simpler visuals.

    • “Legendary game, graphics aren't exactly Arma 3 standard, but it offers superb nostalgic experiences for those of us who were gaming simulators in the 90s.”
    • “If you can get over the old graphics, I feel Gunship 2000 has so much to offer for the flight sim fan.”
