Rating: Summary: Disappointment- Crashes, Lack of Support Review: I love games and had anticipated the purchase of a helicopter sim for some time. Unfortunately, Comanche4 was a poor choice. Despite the claim that Comanche4 is compatable (and supported) with XP and GeForce2 cards, this game has not worked once. It crashes every time when loading. This is despite updated drivers. Other games, including other sims, work flawlessly on my system.Novalogic Support was less than helpful. I emailed all system information including the fact that I have updated XP compatable drivers for video and audio. I waited 8 days for a reply. What was the reply? "Make sure that you have updated compatable drivers." A poor experience made even worse. I sent them a response reminding them that I had initially informed them that updated and compatable drivers were in place, and that their response hadn't helped. It has been 12 days, and still no reply from Novalogic Support. Advice? Buy another game and save yourself some disappointment. If the other game is a Novalogic product, don't be surprised if support is poor for any problems you experience. Happy Gaming!

Rating: Summary: Fun to Fly and blow stuff up Review: I tried the demo from www.novaworld.com but and it was fun but the excitement didnt compare with the full version and of course having the keyboard layout made a big difference. I am still learning how to complete the missions, its quite a challenge. The graphics were great, I use a Nvidia TnT 32mb video card, Win98SE, a ViewSonic A70f monitor and my computer speed is 1.4Ghz AMD Athlon so speed and graphics are great. I highly recommend this product to someone who wants a challenging and fun game.
Rating: Summary: Jaw-dropping Comanche 4 turns Enemy Engaged into "Pong". Review: I, like most Comanche fans, have been waiting for 4 years for this game to finally come about. For a while, it was even "rumorware", with news of it's progress often dissappearing from the face of the earth in total darkness, making us helo sim fans sweat bullets, forcing ourselves to get used to the idea that Enemy Engaged would be all ther is. Well, that wait came to an end yesterday, and it was well worth the wait. These guys at Nova Logic rock. I bought this game the moment it hit the shelf on the release date. Holy cow. The graphics are simply staggering, and even motion of the characters (even the stinger-toting ground troops) is so life-like it's spooky. This game is so real, I actually caught myself feeling a sense of guilt and dread while pulling the trigger and ripping up ground troops with my cannon - and watching them very realistically fall down on the ground, lifeless (seeing dead bodies is a new chill to the comanche series - still trying to convince myself that I like that). The sound effects of all combat are simply incredibly real. The sound of those rockets ripping the air is exhilerating when you squeeze them off. And wait until you see the HellFire missile's new makeover! I've never seen such a cool thing as watching the artillery blow up a bad guy base. Man O man - the explosions are staggeringly cool (bits and chucks of smoking debris flying everywhere). Check this out - you can even dump your EFAMS mid mission when you've emptied them to cut down on your signature! Targeting is simply amazing, with the bird computing the shots to the speed of the target so even your unaimed rockets hit their targets. Rotor wash, dust and water vapors flying up in front of your face when hugging the ground, swaying trees when you're close too them, dense jungles... all superbly done and makes you slack-jawed when you see it the first time. My "PlayStation2" nephew stood there dumbfounded and in jealous shock as I showed it to him. Also, the game has automatic internet update built right into it. Don;t have to worry about patches or updates - bang, done. Right out of the box, there were already a few files that were updated when I tried it right after the install. Install was flawless. I have the ThrustMaster FLCS, TQS and Elite rudder pedals, and I am in hog heaven. If I had to speak of a criticism at all, I would have to mention that even loading up the menus takes a little bit, and as far as gameplay goes, the controls seem to be much more sensitive that previous releases of this game. I double-checked my control adjustments, but nope - it's the game. Comanche 3 had a bit more of a comfortable "bulky" feel to the bird, but this one feels really lightweight and even a little jerky. Maybe it's just my 1.2 Gig Athlon (the game calls for a P-266 or better). A slower machine might actually make it feel a little heavier, which wouldn't be a bad thing. One little sideways movement on the stick send's the C4 bird rolling over on it's side. One little rudder kick and you've done a 180. Very sensitive. If the real Comanche flies like that, then it's ok. Know this - this game is gonna give your processor a workout. It's a big game to load, so have tons of RAM. 482 meg on the drive for the full install. Even with a 52X CDROM, 256 meg in a 1.2 GHz Athlon, I have to wait for it to load for a little bit. If you don't have 128 meg of RAM and at least a 500MHz processor, upgrade immediately - this game needs it. I built this PC for the sole reason I heard this game was about to come out. And this game has completely justified the expense and trouble. After playing this game non-stop for hours, I never did get it to crash (I'm running Windows 2000 Pro). Stable as a rock, and outstanding fun. Best $40 I ever spent. Also, there is a new CD key registration process to install the game, A La Microsoft. Get used to it, we're going to be seeing this kind of thing from now on. Comanche 4 makes it all worth it.
Rating: Summary: This is an amazing game! Review: If you like Tribes, Tribes 2, and Quake 3 and beyond, this game is for you! It's stunning once you learn to play and the online community is very friendly and helpful. The sound and graphics go beyond anything made today - it's far ahead of its time. Check out my Comanche 4 guide for reviews, tips, and very useful information on the game: http://www.geocities.com/c4guide/ See you in the skies! =)
Rating: Summary: Best Helicopter Simulation yet Review: It was a sheer pleasure to take control of my smooth flying lean mean fighting machine. The graphics are really nice but the best thing for me was the smooth flight and no jerky frame rates. I hope they do follow up with a sequel :-) Good show.
Rating: Summary: Like C 3? Get this now! Review: most of what i had to say has already been said but i had a few things to add. the whole comanche series has been great and if you liked any of the previous titles (and novalogic games in general) then you're sure to like this one. novalogic makes thier namesake on making games realistic but fun and easy to play. today's computers will have no problem running the game at its highest detail levels. the simulation aspect can be increased (not mentioned in earlier reviews) through the game options and control settings. novalogic did improve on the c 3 model by fixing wierd problems like hover and how the 'auto altitude' liked to kick off on its own. above all else at its current price you can't beat what you get for your money.
Rating: Summary: Comanche 4 Review: NOT worth the money! Not a Sim. not even a good arcade Game. What a shame, good to great in special effects (Bombs,etc.)but to high in hardware needed for this type of game. Even the old Apache is way better in game play. Wait a year or so and get it for a song, even an out of tune one. Don't buy it at full or even half price!!!!
Rating: Summary: Great Game If you have the Power Review: Thank god I'm running a Geforce3 Ti Graphics card with a P4 1.6 GHZ processor and almost 700MB of RAM. This game will EAT your computer up if you arent well aboove the requirements in my opinion. If you CAN handle this...I highly reccomend it. Comanche 4 takes a step away from the complicated, often too annoying to learn flight sims that have come out as of late. You take off with one button, and fly with your mouse. It couldn't be easier. Choosing your weapon is a mouse click away, and firing it is just the same. The game play is pure arcade fun. It's not as involved as Ghost Recon, or the Rainbow Series (if you consider the Rainbow series to have a good storyline haha right) but its just as much fun. When you buy this...know your getting an ARCADE style helicopter shooter...not a flight sim. One of the simplest yet most fun games out there.
