Podsumowując przyznam, że APACHE/HAVOC na początku mnie oczarował. Mimo, że później dużo się irytowałem nad skomplikowanym modelem lotu. Chciałbym jeszcze raz zaznaczyć, że jest to symulator przez duże "S". Fanom właśnie takich skomplikowanych symulacji gra ta właśnie przypadnie do gustu. Myślę też, że producenci innych pozycji tego typu powinni wziąć przykład z RAZORWORKS.

Apache Havoc almost takes the crown from Longbow 2. The graphics are fantastic, the flight model good, the campaign is dynamic, and you can even fly a Russian chopper -- so where's the problem? The lack of tutorials, the poor voice acting, the on and off friendly wingman AI, and the fixed cockpit graphics, all of which are minor gripes but gripes nonetheless. If Razorworks and Empire Interactive can clean up those small problems before their next release of Comanche/Hokum we can all hail a new king. In the meantime pick up Apache Havoc, the crown prince of helicopter sims.

Dawno nie grałem w równie udany symulator. Podobnych wrażeń dostarczył mi chyba jedynie leciwy Gunship2000. Pewnie dlatego, że była to pierwsza gra, w której naprawdę czuło się lot śmigłowcem (i jedna z pierwszych, w których pojawiły się wektorowe drzewa). Tamta gra ustanawiała nowy standard jakości, tak jak teraz ustanowił go Apache/Havoc. Produkt Razorworks jest z pewnością dla symulatorów śmigłowców tym, czym Unreal był dla FPP.

De weinige (grafische) minpuntjes en de frustratie bij het falen van een opdracht beletten niet dat Apache Havoc een nieuwe trend zet in de wereld van de helikopterflightsimulator. Zonder meer een knappe titel!

I wish I could have had another two weeks to review this game. There is so much more to Apache Havoc and after two weeks I know I have just begun to scratch the surface of this fun and challenging game. I have a lot more to learn regarding my weapons and radar systems, so I'm confident in saying that the game will get better the longer I play and learn. Apache Havoc is a safe bet to purchase -- it will take you some months to get really good at flying, and by the time you have flying mastered you then get to tackle all the radar and weapon systems. So on that note, my gentle reader, I will give Apache Havoc a score of 82/100. You will learn and have fun for months to come.

Apache Havoc is een goede heli-sim, die met name op grafisch en multiplayer gebied uitblinkt.

GameSpot
Apache Havoc offers a great mix of realism and approachability, so that hard-core fans and novices alike should find a lot to like in the game. Not only do you get to fly either the AH-64D Apache Longbow or the Mil Mi-28 Havoc B, but you also get to take part in three different dynamic campaigns as well as some memorable multiplayer airborne deathmatches.

If Empire Interactive plans to knock Longbow 2 out of its position as the market's premier chopper combat sim, it has some work ahead of it. On the other hand, if Empire just wants to produce a first-rate helicopter simulation with hours of authentic and immersive gameplay, then it's hard to find fault with Apache Havoc.

Man merkt Apache Havoc deutlich an, wie engagiert die Entwickler an dem Projekt gearbeitet haben. Die Grafik ist eine gute Synthese aus Detailreichtum und technischer Machbarkeit, obwohl sicherlich auch höhere Auflösungsstufen als 640 mal 480 Pixel realisierbar gewesen wären. Und der Detailreichtum der einzelnen Einheiten sucht derzeit auf dem PC seinesgleichen. Leider schwächelt die Kampagne. Im Prinzip fliegen Sie (wenn auch über jeweils anderem Terrain) immer dieselben fünf Missionen. Abwechslung ist Mangelware. Außerdem fehlen mir Angaben zum Verlauf des Feldzugs.Warum tue ich etwas, und worin liegen die Alternativen? Daneben habe ich keine Möglichkeit, mit verbündeten Einheiten koordiniert vorzugehen.

PC Player (Germany)
Auch wenn Apache/Havoc nichts wirklich Neues bietet, zeigt sich hier doch ein solides Stück Arbeit: Die Feldzüge offerieren echte Dynamik, um Sie herum passiert ständig etwas. Irgendwo beschießen Ihre Kollegen gerade gegnerische Panzer, während Ihre Bodentruppen sich vor überlegenen Verbänden zurückziehen müssen. Das Flugverhalten der Hubschrauber selbst ist nicht leicht zu beherrschen, entspricht aber in etwa der Realität. Anfänger seien nochmals ausdrücklich gewarnt, denn der Einstieg gestaltet sich nicht leicht. Es braucht viel Übung, bis Sie das Gerät so gut beherrschen, daß Sie den ersten Einsatz wagen können. Optisch macht das Spiel auch nicht sehr viel her, bedenkt man die geradlinigen Flüsse und Wälder samt der eckigen Kanten.

IGN
This game requires a lot of patience and knowledge (i.e. read the instruction manual), but the end result is a just reward. Although there are graphical flaws, on the whole, this game creates a living, breathing virtual battlefield. From the snow and rain conditions to the dusk and night flying, this game offers a myriad of mission variables. The 3-D environments, which aren't perfect, do create cities that look like cities. Airbases have palm trees, vehicles and men running here and there. During combat, you get the sense of a dynamic campaign by watching Su-33s, F-16s, F/A-18s and Su-25s doing their own thing overhead, while various armor units mix it up on the ground. All missions are full of AI activity, which adds to the realism and fun factors

Une très bonne simulation d'hélicoptère. Une bonne réalisation qui vous permet en plus de prendre les commandes de deux hélicoptères historiquement opposés.

Apache Havoc promises a number of things that would get any gamer excited, however, they are a let down once they are experienced. The features and the simulation were certainly good, but the graphics and the sounds needed a lot of work to bring them up to par with the rest of the game. The high requirements at least for the present day and time are not a major factor, but they still must considered in the overall opinion of the game. The high requirements prevent an average gamer from enjoying the game, and that is a design flaw. As for the rest of the game, it was all rather decent, with nothing too memorable.

All Game Guide
While Apache Havoc has impressive graphics and sound, its developers should have decided to focus on flight simulation or air combat. Trying to cram both concepts into one game was a bad move. If you decide to buy Apache Havoc, buy it for its looks, not for its game play.
