Pros: Good pilot practice, no blood and guts, kids love it!
Cons: Sometimes hard to manuever for kids under 9
Summary: I work with children in a computer lab and have found Sim Copter to be one of their favorites- especially among boys ages 8-12. If you're looking for an enticing game without blood and gluts, but is challenging and fun then consider Sim Copter!! Your ... read more

Pros: Import SC2K cities, lots of replay value, unique concept
Cons: Unexpected crashes, 640x480 res, limited "advancement" options
Summary: SimCopter is a good game. Well, a great game. It isn't a perfect game, but it can't be considered anything less than a good game.
The main thing that made me want it for Christmas was when I saw the big box at Electronics Boutique; buy ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, fly around in your own Sim City 2000 cities
Cons: controls are tricky to learn
Summary: There is only one word that can explain this game... "Kickass"!!!! Think about it, you get to fly around in cities you build, saving people, putting out fires, clearing up traffic jams, and even breaking up riots.
Not only that, but ... read more

Pros: Soar like a bird through cities you've created, or those that are built-in. Combat disasters like never before in this world of simulated reality.
Cons: You'll frequently deny that you stayed up until 4 AM playing it. Make sure you have a few meals prepared at your computer desk, because you're in for the ride of your life...in a helicopter!

Pros: Low price, Great fun, good replay value
Cons: four years dated, cheesy graphics
Summary: I bought this game 2 or 3 years ago as a bundle with simcity and streets of simcity, but this is the game I have played the most. People have always been complaining about the graphics, but I don't see the problem. The game was released in 1996, and ... read more

Pros: the whole game
Cons: graphics are a little weak
Summary: SimCopter is a very addicting game. Once you get your hands on the keyboard, and know the basic movements, then you'll jump in a chopper and won't be done for a few hours. The game has many different moves, most of which I never used, and they are all ... read more

Pros: A very fun flying, real life sim
Cons: Down the hole graphics
Summary: I like games that you fly around in, so this game seemed right for me. I play for hours. You fly in helicopters, stop criminals, put out fires, rescue hurt people, and you stop traffic. Make money and buy new copters and accessories, and use them. A ... read more

Pros: APACHE!!!
Cons: Loses novelty
Summary: The main enjoyment of this game is getting the better and better choppers and feeling a sense of pride. But once you get to the top (which does take some effort), the game's novelty wears off. That is, of course, until you find the Apache. It may not ... read more

Pros: Fun for about 10 minutes
Cons: Terrible graphics, boring tasks
Summary: When I first saw Sim Copter in Best Buy, I fell in love. Well maybe not, but I knew I had found a game I wanted. But eventually I went on with my shopping and I never got the game. But a few days ago I downloaded a demo version. I started it up and flew ... read more

Pros: Lots of fun action
Cons: Lousy graphics
Summary: SimCopter takes SimCity to new heights (literally). With SimCopter you can load up saved cities from SimCity and fly missions. The graphics are substandard and really cheesy (see their web site for screen shots), but if you're just looking to get a ... read more
