The Vietnam War had a huge impact on the culture, becoming a topic not only for the numerous art books and movies, but also video games. In the latter case, the "fight against communism" is usually taken as the basis of the plot big shooters. Kazualok and mobile games "about Vietnam," quite a bit. One of them - 101 Airborne.
101 Airborne plot takes us to 1967, when the war was in full swing: the USSR has provided military assistance, and the United States sent its troops. The player is back on board the Bell UH-1 helicopter, known as the "Huey", taking the place of the arrow. The task is simple: to fly the entire map from beginning to end, killing as many Viet Cong. In the player's arsenal machine gun and rockets.
The Vietnamese are not born yesterday. If the first levels you will try to bring down fire from simple shotguns, then everything will be more difficult - input will go anti-aircraft missiles.
By helicopter will have to get used to managing. To move the helicopter from side to side using an accelerometer. Touching the screen with one finger - the line of fire. Pressing another - fire on purpose. Gesture "bottom-up" produces rockets.
101 Airborne - fair game. Immediately makes it clear that the war was over money. Vietnamese killing and destroying the house, while you can earn money from time to time, which are then spent on fine-tuning the helicopter: the purchase of powerful weapons, strong armor, air support - up to napalm.
The 101 Airborne yet there are five campaigns. In each of them there are 5 levels. Not much, and Angry Birds does not compare. But playing in Airborne, you'll be a long time, the game is not easy.
That like most about 101 Airborne - perfect graphic performance. This is the work of Michael Flarupa, the most talented designer in Denmark. Fantastic attention to detail, just to each pixel. If you are knocked down, it's not a simple Game Over, a beautiful paper with the message of military losses, which will indicate your name. The 101 Airborne want to look at each screenshot of each game screen.
In 101 Airborne there are two drawbacks. The first and most obvious - the moral side. The war in Vietnam was not a war against fascism. This is not unique to the struggle between good and evil. In a review in the App Store shoppers cite Martin Luther King, who called the campaign against the war barefooted.
The second drawback - the game is not something special, it is not "catchy". Well done, attention to detail is staggering, but there is that for which I would like to return to the 101st Airborne Division again and again.
However, his game is definitely worth the dollar.
