NovaLogic extends its Comanche combat helo franchise with its fourth installment featuring the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66. Back in 1997, Comanche 3 was lauded for its authentic flight model and weapons realism. It's been almost five years since then so it must be awesome now, right? Bob "Groucho" Marks grabs the collective and files this review.

Groucho,

That was quite probably the most humorous review I've had the pleasure of reading!
I am just sorry that you had to deal with it to bring it to us. On a lark, and thanks to
re-establishing a cable-modem connection, I downloaded the demo. I find it hard to
beleive that the demo is identical to the full release, just less lengthy and thusly,
less aggravating! Again, my thanks... S!

G,

Damn! I cannot believe this 'game' could be that s*it! Here I was, looking (like you already said) at those amazing screenshots on the web these last few months, thinking that I can't wait to buy that. Longbow 2 all over again, except the graphics were going to be state of the art. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Doh!! Damn!! How frightfull!

But then again, this is what simmers have come to expect from NovaLogic, right? Their sad flight sims like F-22 Lightning (I still can't believe I got burned on that one) should have been all the historical perspective we needed. Too bad for NovaLogic. If every web-based game reviewer spanks this game in reviews like it deserves, we'll get rid of rubbish like this for good.

Thanks for the heads up on this one G. I shall take your advice and steer well clear of this 'game'. I'm off, back to the genius of SP1a. Tally ho.

LD.

Good piece, G. We need to do things like that evey once in awhile to clear the bile ducts.

Thanks for the kind words, everybody.

I guess that you can look upon my actually enduring this stupid game as the equivalent of throwing myself on a grenade for you.

It's my job.
