This is a rare case that I disagree with negative reviews, this is a simple helicopter game with simplified flight controls. The title is misleading though...

Is this game any good? Yes and no. It’s great as an old-school arcade rescue sim, but not if you expect it to be a realistic helicopter simulator. To enjoy this game, you need to play by its rules. For example, in the first mission, I picked up two pilots from a plane crash by landing next to them, but the game insisted I use the rope instead. If you can overlook those quirks, you’ll be fine playing this game. It has controller support, though not in the office menu, it takes affect on missions. While flying, the Y and B buttons activate hover mode, which is essential for rescuing people. The start button turns the engine on and off, and the select button restarts the mission. The rope automatically drops when you’re close enough. Hope this helps anyone wanting to take a crack at this game!
