If you’ve ever wanted to know how it feels like to fly a helicopter, then Helicopter Flight Simulator 3D is the game for you. With this game, you’ll be able to go on all sorts of rescue missions with your trusty helicopter. Make sure that you fly and control it properly to ensure the success of each mission. Developed by Teen Games, Helicopter Simulator 3D is a flight simulator that attempts to give players a simulated experience of flying helicopters, but does it succeed in its goal?

Graphics and Presentation

The game is presented in 3D graphics with realistic sounds and music. The main game occurs in a simulation of a city with mountains and trees surrounding it. Sadly, the graphics of the game leave a lot to be desired. There are little to no details or textures that make 3D graphics look life-like and believable. As a result, the game looks like fake plastic models. The helicopters themselves all look like children’s toys instead of real rescue helicopters.

Thankfully, the interface is intuitive and easy to understand. There are only a handful of buttons and meters to keep track of, and they are arranged in an unobtrusive way that makes the screen easy to look at.

Gameplay

The objective of the game is to fly a helicopter and perform rescue missions. The most common missions are evacuation and fire fighting. Once missions are done, players can also enjoy free flight just for fun. To fly a helicopter, players just need to press the directional buttons across the screen and try to control the helicopter as it takes off, fly, and land. 

Despite the uninspired graphics, actually flying the helicopter is a lot of fun. It can get repetitive at times due to the limited mission options, but if you just really like the challenge of controlling a helicopter then this game will definitely be right up your alley.

Simple In Every Way

Helicopter Flight Simulator 3D by Teen Games has a simple concept and it delivers it acceptably. It is by no means an ambitious game, but for helicopter enthusiasts or simulation game fans, it is worth checking out. Even with its unpolished look, playing it still has a lot of value.
