Great game
This is a nice chopper sim with nice 3D graphics and good game play. There are around 15 or so missions but hopefully with updates they will add more. The controls are ok , I just wish that the altitude was controled by the accelerometer rather than the lever on the left of the screen. Still this is the best chopper shooting sim out and worth the buy.
Somewhat fun, then a little retarded
Yeah, the app pics look cool and you hope you're in for a heck of a fight... Not really. Hellfire is a bit fun, but play it for awhile and you get a primal sense of intellectual vacuum. And it resets to the beginning when you get killed. I find that stupid beyond belief. There is a bare, bare minimum of strategy. I think some strategy is why we buy these games. I don't want to just fly the helo and hit the 'Fire' button. So, overall I would say Hellfire can be a tad interesting but not more than that.
Hellfire: The Name Fits!
If you love Blue Skies, then Hellfire will stoke your fire too. Handmark makes some great games, and Hellfire was ported really well to the iPhone/iPod Touch. I found the controls to be very responsive where you fire by tapping buttons on the screen and tilting accordingly to move, brake and turn (under Options, you can set the tilt sensitivity). You also have a slide lever to increase/decrease your height and land/takeoff. In most of the levels, your goal is to destroy enemy targets, rescure fellow troops, and bring them back to a rendezvous point. Visually, Hellfire looks great, although there are a few things I would suggest for future updates: autosave function where you can continue if a call/message interrupts gameplay, a little more animation with the chopper so it actually turns in the direction you tilt, changing the chopper noise so it varies a bit (it constantly sounds the same which can be slightly annoying for some), and more powerups/weapons. For many, Hellfire will be a great addition to their gaming library.
