This game also features high quality graphics and game play that makes you forget you are playing a free online browser game. In the game you will have three choppers to choose from- The mighty Apache, which features high speed, great attacking power (both machine gun and missiles ), though suffers in the aspect it can’t carry casualties on board. another option is The versatile Blackhawk which is a hybrid chopper, with average speed, side machine gun attack ( no missiles ) and unlike the Apache can carry casualties . The last chopper is the Chinook, which is a slow chopper but is the best one if you’re planning to rescue lots of casualties in one go. The Chinook also features a side machine gun and has the biggest space for casualties.

The game itself was embraced very warmly by the flash games community and received high scores on lots of the free online games portals.

As a devoted action games fan i only hope more games of this genre will turn out, lately most free online games are repetitive and usually contained of defense games, physics games and puzzle games, I personally prefer the old school arcade style with the shoot em’ up games, especially if they feature choppers and army theme.
