Found it a bit repetitive really, graphics dated but liveable. Physics good, but the really big thing is since buying a new computer I cant get it to work at all.
Game started with a dark screen, I had to change all the settings
That helped
What was the problem I did not understand...
I do not understand why there is so many bad reviews. I plyed the cd version years ago and it was good. Now I have bought it on sales for a few cents and it is still good. I can even play with Xobx controller and the settings are automatic. Of course the graphics is not great, but this is old and cheap game. And of course the simulation is not something extra, but again it is cheap and old. But it is still a funny arcade for those who are not experts of helicopters.
Downloaded and the game started fine. Any time I tried to enter a mission or the tutorial, the game crashed. Tried running it in admin settings and Windows XP settings...nothing worked. Uninstalled and requested a refund.
Nice little game worth the buck it cost, the heli flying on the hard setting gets fun when you get use to it, but must be a short game i only have 75 min played and already got 5 missions done no idea how much missions there are, and got no probs yet game runs fine graphics are kind of nice too, heli sound his not anoying
Got it on sale for $0.69 I say its worth at least $1.99
Its a decent game. anyone saying its crap just doesnt gave the skill to fly. The flight model is pretty good. The roll axis needs some work, Not sure why it slightly yaws when I apply roll.
Graphics are OK.
Although there are a variety of missions they are all basically the same. Fly, pick up someone, drop them off, land.
pretty standard stuff. Joystick works great. Havenet tried multiple input devices yet.
This game is absolutely terrible. The controls are near to impossible to handle, there are no full control dictation of the helicopters. meaning you just pull up to the area and it swithces views and modes. the graphics are almost horrendious to begin with. I am glad i got this game on sale and only spent .69 cents for it. but even then. the game is barely worth that.
Controls: 2/10
Graphics: 4/10
Playability: 4/10
Did I have fun? No.
Did I complete a mission? No
Why did I not complete that mission? I couldn't take off, once I figured out how to take off I almost instantly fell out of the sky and bounced around like a bouncey ball.
Do I recommend: Yes if you are stupid
Do I recommend: No.
Game wont load past start up screen and there is no help from developers to try and get it working or refunding my money.
So wouldnt advise anyone else to waste their money.
There is a disturbing lack of men in speedos with fluorescent nipples.
Not a helicopter simulator at all/10.
While most people knock this game for it's bad controls and graphics, I for one, am having a great time with this game. I find the controls are odd at first, but then again I've never flown a helicopter. While I do not have a joy stick, the keyboard controls are completely customizable are becoming much easier with play. In my opinion they do not inhibit gameplay at all. Besides its comic relief when you accidently blow up from hitting a tree because you put too much deceleration while trying to land. The blury graphical "problem" that I've seen mentioned can be easily fixed in the options menu by turning off depth blur and movement blur. All in all, I think this is a fun simulator that is worth giving a shot. I would suggest waiting to pick it up on while it's on sale though.
P.S. you get to pick up a beached whale in the third mission
Very dissapointed. Was looking forward to this and it will not work. Gets to the "Go to Hanger" stage then crashes. Have posted on the help forum with no response for over a week. I realise there are people out there with this running fine but they seem to be the minority. Should have read the forum before purchase. Still hoping for a fix to allow me to get this running.......
Terrible controls, bad graphics and boring gameplay. Avoid at all costs. Not even worth it during a Steam sale, just stay far away from this trainwreck.
Search and Rescue may not be for the hardcore flight simulaton gamer. It is not fully realistic, but still you'd better have a Joystick with some axles for it. It is somewhere in between of Simulation and Arcade.
Compared to Sim copter this title is more simulation and more serious. Where in Sim copter you flew around in a city and things happened which you had to clear, in this game you can fly around on different Island maps and things only happen, when you start a mission with a specific objective each. For each mission you can choose one of the helicopters that can do the job (not every Helicopter is available in every mission). There is no career mode where you get better Helicopters after some time of playing. At least there is no career mode, yet.
What makes it absolutely worth it's money is the feedback of the devs and the overall communication between customers and developers. Main Problems that people had with the release version already are solved a few days after release. Other things are going to be implemented soon to improve the game experience.
There's a lot of crappy simulators out there, but it seems like the devs of SaR do everything for this game not to be one of them. And so far, they're doing a good job.
A few improvements here and there, and in my oppinion this game could be worth more money.
Graphic junkies might be a little bit diasppointed, but for everyone else the graphics are absolutely appropriate.
The music is annoying after a while, so I already set it off.
All in all, If you want to extinguish fires, carry stuff around and rescue people with a helicopter, this game is for you.
Could it be better ? Yes
Is it still fun ? Yes
Is it worth its money ? Yes
Is there support ? Absolutely Yes
An incredibly poor game. One can only wonder where Simulator word in title comes from, probably from MFS sounds like "Pull up". The quality of the game is incredibly low, barely any animations, no physics to speak of. Helicopter feels like a rubber ball that can bounce off the ground. Cocpit is a static texture, only horizon works. Save your money and don't buy this game, it's incredibly booring and bad. All misisons come down to "Fly there, pick this up, transport it here", not to mention that there are no weather effects at all. The only sounds in this game are one and same soundtrack, 60-seconds loop 'radio chatter' and engine sound that is same for all helicopter models. People you need to pick up can't walk few meters to the helicopter and only way to trigger 'boarding' or 'unloading' script is to shut down your engines. Most of 'disasters' in this game are hilarious! First mission requires you to rescue people from a crashed airplane... That lies 800 meters away from the hospital... I suppose it was easier to cal for a rescue helicopter than, say, drive an ambulnce across flat green field... Or mission to rescue people from an oil platform after a ship crashed into it. Ship is a tiny boat, there is no damage, no fire, people just stand on the landing pad, looking bored, and wave their hands either greeting you or begging you to look at them... Anyway, this game isn't worth your time or money.
This game is quite honestly not worth the money... this is NOT a simulation game... not even remotely!!!
Helicopter is nearly impossible to fly and controls don't make any sense.
My worst buy ever!!
Doesn't work with logitech joystick..
Completely unplayable with keyboard..
I've been in contact with support and they won't help me.. They just keep saying "But it should work".. Well, it doesn't!?
>>>DO NOT BUY<<<
The flying in this game is completely absurd, the physics are horrible, and even at max settings the graphics are sub-par. A better use for the ten bucks I spent on this game would have gone to buying a second copy of Arma II, a game which I believe very nearly nailed flight physics.
THIS game, however, took everything that 5 year old game had, and threw it out the window. I bought this game expecting to be able to fly, not flounder in the air in a physics-defying "helicopter simulator"
First Look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo0QSSho8Po
Ignore the "Helicopter Simulator" section of the game name, as it's not really a proper simulator of helicopter flying. I saw people asking in the discussions about things like trackIR, pedals and joysticks. This really isn't that sort of game so definitely don't buy it if that's what you're looking for. This is a search and rescue game that basically gives you a helicopter with basic controls (which are okay to handle but I found it a bit difficult on the landing) and gives you a number of missions where you must go and save people in various conditions.
The gameplay is very basic, and really feels quite dated. In the first mission I played it had strange requirements that made no sense. Why do I have to be at a certain height for a man to go down a rope to pick someone up? It's like artificial difficulty because the game would otherwise be rather mundane. Sadly it had the opposite effect as it just made it needlessly annoying.
The draw distance for detail on the ground is very poor so you have to be pretty much crashing into the trees below to see them appear at the same detail you'd have when you were on the helipad. The models are simple and textures are relatively low quality. The cockpit view was a definite disappointment. It didn't run all that well either, and didn't feel at all optimized. The loading screens were also abnormally long.
In comparison to the detailed and thoughtful "Car Mechanic Simulator" title they released recently, this is a huge drop in quality. I'm not saying you should steer well clear of this game, but I wouldn't recommend it either.
