This is actually a very good game. Don't buy it at full price, but it is never near as bad as people review it. For under 1 dollar it is decent entertainment, lots of levels and achievements to play every once in a while. It sometimes bugs when unloading injured at the hospital, but nothing too critical to ditch the whole game. Would totally recommend at a good discount.4 found this helpful
Is this game any good? Yes and no. It’s great as an old-school arcade rescue sim, but not if you expect it to be a realistic helicopter simulator. To enjoy this game, you need to play by its rules. For example, in the first mission, I picked up two pilots from a plane crash by landing next to them, but the game insisted I use the rope instead. If you can overlook those quirks, you’ll be fine playing this game. It has controller support, though not in the office menu, it takes affect on missions. While flying, the Y and B buttons activate hover mode, which is essential for rescuing people. The start button turns the engine on and off, and the select button restarts the mission. The rope automatically drops when you’re close enough. Hope this helps anyone wanting to take a crack at this game!3 found this helpful
This is a rare case that I disagree with negative reviews, this is a simple helicopter game with simplified flight controls. The title is misleading though...2 found this helpful

The game would crash every time I tried to select a mission or go into training. This happens both on Windows and Linux. Many players seem to face this issue. And given the game is 10 plus years old, it's unlikely it's going to be a new patch. While I only managed to get the game for $2. I'm not going to keep a non-functional game in my library. It's a pity because, while this game doesn't look amazing. There probably is atleast two dollars worth of fun in it. provided you can get into the helicopter.
THE BEST GAME of RESCUING WITH HELICOPTERS.
