Hellcarrier 1.0

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

In this free overhead-view action game, terrorists have besieged Europe, and you ve joined the United Nations to deal out payback. You ll pilot your trusty Hellcarrier chopper on a wide variety of missions ranging from rescue to assault. But while the chopper s controls are easy to master, the game s primitive graphics and sound take most of the fun out of it. Your machine gun shoots yellow pellets, and your missiles are hardly more menacing than Roman candles. The sound is a bit better. Opponents on the ground keel over with a groan, and the whoop-whoop of your rotor blades isn t bad. Later missions outfit the Hellcarrier with more fearsome weapons, which makes it all the more frustrating when bugs keep you from completing a mission. Nevertheless, the game s difficulty makes it strangely addictive--to a point. Hard-core gamers may enjoy taking the Hellcarrier out for a test flight, but they ll probably have it back in the hangar soon enough.
