Screen Shots |
Hover Force is one cool game. Too bad my T-shirt for it
was stolen. Agh! I love the little animated sequence when you run
to the chopper and take off. The graphics are very nice, offering an excellent
top-down perspective. The sound effects are also solid, with a surprisingly good
thwack! thwack! thwack! for the sound of the blades cutting through
the air. It can get repetitive after awhile.

Pretty cool straight-on shot of your helicopter. |
|
Clever partial re-use of some in-game items in the game selection screen. |
|
I love this little 'animated strip' build-up to the game. The sprint to the 'copter, thumbs-up, rev-up, and lift-off are sublime! |
|
Well-rendered game world. This game kept me playing quite a lot, rather than studying my Calc and Physics Back In The Day™. |
