Nintendo 64

Chopper Attack

Chopper Attack is a fair N64 game. It's fast, fun, and pretty exciting. It is, however, a short game, so you may just want to rent the game and finish it rather than picking up your own copy.

In spite of its slow speed and dated look, Chopper Attack manages to be a fun shooter. Like in PilotWings, even just flying around in the 3D environments has its appeals (despite the fact that you can't go up and down at will) -- and once you get the hang of it, bombing and blasting your opponents makes you want to play on despite the pain slowly building up in your thumbs. Although I wouldn't go as far as to recommend purchasing this game, it has its charms and makes for a good week-end rental. And until THQ releases EA's Strike on N64, there is no alternative.

Details such as these can enhance an already solid game, but a bad game like Chopper Attack still crashes and burns regardless. I pity da fool that buys this game.
