I should have played this sooner! Great flight combat sim!,

This review is from: Dropship: United Peace force (Video Game)
Dropship: United Peace Force is a fantastic flight combat game that you should try and pick up cheap because it has been out for awhile now. The whole game is fast, competitive, has a steep learning curve with realistic battle sequences, amazing replay functions (cinematic), huge explosions, 20 tough missions, several Vertical Take-Off & Landing (VTL) vehicles, 10 ground assault vehicles (you also play on the ground sometimes driving tanks and other army vehicles), helicopters, 4 different country landscapes (5 missions per level), a coherent plot, futuristic weapons, sky combat, sea combat, land combat and a solid flight interface.The essence of the game is to drop tanks and vehicles at designated waypoints and then fly around the place targeting the enemy and dog fighting in the sky. Your VTLs range anywhere from full size bombers to light fighter jets for scramble defense. The whole game is set slightly in the future so all the gadgets and planes look really stealthy and sleek. The actual game play itself is amazing with hyper-realistic controls and a very well done environment. Graphics have got better since this was released on the PS2 but still the game is one of the most enjoyable flight combat games out there and is worth every single penny except for one dismal feature!...... THE IS NO FREE FLIGHT OR MULTIPLAYER MODE! This brings the game down a star. It would have been simple to do a free flight frag em up or at least a multiplayer dog fight or co-op mode, but no they simply did not give us any at all which is a big shame since the game play was awesome. 4 BIG STARS minus 1 for missing the basics of what a packaged game like this needs. The 20 missions however have a lot of replay value. Bring on Dropship 2 please soon!

Fun concept, needed more,

This review is from: Dropship: United Peace force (Video Game)
The first couple of missions were really fun and the concept and story line were unique for some video games. Some draw backs of the game are that the player didn't get to choose the weapons they wanted. I really didn't know what weapons did what so I basically just scrolled through till a weapon would target an enemy vehicle. The air and ground vehicles were limited, this isn't such a draw back but the game would have been funnier had the player been able to purchase or select better more efficient aircraft. Another draw back and let me say that most flight simulators do this is that the aircraft have really good to descent graphics but the ground forces and ground terrain barely have any graphics and sometimes I was left wondering what I just ran into. Another draw back is the health and missions of the ground vehicles, it seems that the player has to complete the mission near to perfect. The computer hardly ever misses unless they are aircraft but ground vehicles constantly hit me and I barely passed some of the missions. Another mission that was on the ground and was impossible was a spy mission you had to complete, the town is like a maze and every target the player had one way to go so this limits you to make your own strategy for entering and maneuvering the base (This was a bad draw back).Well now that I've told everything that I can remember not liking in this game I will tell what I remember that I do like. One point that was really cool about the game was the fact that the aircraft can hover, this is really cool when you go up against a lot of enemies and you just want to stand still and pick them off, it is also realistic, per say if you wanted to go into flight mode you have to get up to a certain speed from hover mode. Another cool aspect was picking up troops and vehicles and sending them into hot LZs (Landing Zones. The last thing I can remember was the fact that you get to be part of the army's strategy and help push the enemy's forces back while you are being reinforced by allies. Usually you are on you own which seems kind of unrealistic. Per say that you are guarding a base that is suppose to be all important and yet you have no help at all and the enemy seems to out number you 10 to 1.

Why Didn't I Buy This Game Sooner?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dropship: United Peace force (Video Game)
I've been so hooked on this game since I started playing it. I liked Ace Combat 4, but I LOVE this game. Not only do you pilot drop ships, but fighters and land vehicles too. You even get to take a break from flying and driving from time to time to man weapons turrets in the air and on the ground!The early missions start you out slow, with little or no weaponry. They are a little dull, but they teach you some great piloting skills, so what the heck. No two missions are anything alike. The best thing about this game is that your wingmen AI actually HELP! In some scenarios you can even direct them at specific targets. Another neat feature is that you can view a replay of an entire scenario. I think one of the longest ones was over fourteen minutes. It's the perfect thing when you need to take a break, and you can usually see where those heinous missiles directed at you are coming from! I've seen the friendly AI taking out enemies that were on my tail. If you like flying games such as Ace Combat, this game is for you. After some flying lessons, you won't be able to put it down.
