Chopper 2 App Reviews

Ive had the original on my iPhone for quite some time and its been quite entertaining. This is a great follow on and adaption to Mac OS X. The keyboard controls are easy to learn, but by far the coolest feature is using the iPhone as the control device. Graphics are good, the application loads quickly enough, and most importantly its fun to play. 5 Stars.

This app is a wonderful game. It is really exiting to play.

When i first played this on my phone, it was awsome, so i got it for the i mac, it is a little harder with the controles but it is still a geat game. Buy it

One of the best app for the game

This app is a pretty cool game but it crashes on me often, and right in the middle of some hard levels...please make an update

The latest update makes this game great fun. We especially enjoy the iPhone integration for the control.

I had gotten Crazy Choppers before I got this game and man its awesome! I love the lanscape and its very easy to learn the controls and fly away on missions. Still starting but even so, already itching for more missions. Great game, keep it up.

I downloaded this game on my iPod touch about 6 months ago. I played it constantly. Now I am ecstatic that it is on the Mac App Store! I downloaded it the moment I saw it. This is possibly one of the best games I have ever seen on the (any) App Store. If you are thinking about buying this, do it now. It IS worth it!

I didnt try the iPhone remote feature, which is cool, but game itself is horrible. It has commodore 64 innovation. Im shocked how high this game was rated. Disappointed to waste my money.

if you fix this and YES i have the current versions on my imac and the iphone... Doesnt work... Ill give it a 5 if this is fixed soon!!! update: 7-11 they worked out the bugs and its awesome using my hd imac with my iphone 4 as the remote one of the best games for the iphone/ imac other developers should learn from this one!!!!! thanks for fixing it!!!!!

Quite good and challenging - but, mine consistently locks up (freezes) in the Night Terror - Defense level. Have to do a force quit to get out of it. An update and bug fix seems to be needed.

Anyone whos near my age (47) and had an Apple II or a Commodore 64 (or a friend who had one) knows what Choplifter is. Its *this game* only of cours much more primitive. When I saw the price had been dropped to just a buck and that a similar buck sale was available for the iOS version, I picked up both of them. Theyre my first Mac App Store and iTunes App Store game purchases beyond free versions of things like chess and crossword puzzles. I havent had much time to really muck around with them yet, but Choplifer 2 for Mac and iOS are pretty much identical, which one would expect when an iOS app is ported over to Mac OS X. Thats not a bad thing in this case, because the game is really fun. At least, it is for me, with my 30-year-old memories of Choplifter. Im sure players of World of Warcraft, Halo, Portal, or other modern games will not be impressed, but Ive found it quite good so far. For what its worth, I prefer the keyboard/mouse controls of the Mac version to the tilt-the-device controls of the iOS version. The Mac version has crashed on me a few times. Its not a deal-breaker, especially for something I only paid a buck for. Even so, I hope the developer can address stability in future releases. Id like to have multiple "player profiles" for the Mac version, since its much more likely that more than one person will play the game on a "real" computer than on an iOS device. This is especially important for a game like Chopper 2 which is a pretty standard video game where you play until you die and when you die you have to go back to the last save point. Id like to see developers think more carefully about differences between iOS and Mac platforms when porting their apps rather than just doing it as fast as possible. Speaking of save points, for adults with business and family lives like me, it would be nice to be able to shut the game down at any point and pick up *exactly* where it was left off, rather than having to start from the last area save point. Sometimes I have just a few minutes to play (waiting for a phone call, for instance), and thats sometimes not enough to get from one save point to another. Even with all the caveats, its a good game. If I were a gamer, Id consider it a fine value even at its normal price of about five bucks (I think the iOS version is normally three bucks).

new levels cause computer to lock up. Previous levles appear to work OK. Still no ability for users to configure keyboard controls. Developers: put the bomb command on the space bar where it belongs!!!

Application crashed after completing training intro on my MacPro tower with Dual 2.8 GHz Procs , running OX-X 10,6,8, with 24 GB RAM and so much HD Im embarassed (8TB). Not looking too good at this point.

I was somewhat skeptical when first looking over this game. I was afraid that it was going to be yet another boondoggle to get into. The graphics looked ok, though, so I gave it a try. Boy, have I been impressed! The game is so utterly simple, yet requires a lot of coordination and skill to master. The set-up and beginning guide is brilliant: you cannot get a better introduction to a game than this. Every skill is tought along the way throughout the beginning missions. The best part is that you can mess around and have fun at the same time as being serious and learning how to play. You can even shoot the birds with the machine gun for that silly sort of fun. Wonderful piece of work!

Graphis look great. Game gets boring after a half hour.

It would be much nicer if this game had an option to control the chopper with a joystick. Its kind of a pain to have to sit there and use the keys, and I dont feel like draining the battery in my iPhone or Pod Touch just to control this thing. I"m glad this game cost only 99c.

Cool update for those of us who grew up playing the original. Great game to pick up if you need something to kill some time. Graphics have a nice feel, although sometimes it seems like it is hard to tell where the ground is…or Im just not very good and crash a lot. Good replay value, and worth the buck if you are looking for something you can jump into and out of.

I played the old classic game and miss the old control scheme. Of course, they say that they are coming in a future update and when I saw that in January I figured it wouldnt be long to wait. 11 months later and Im still waiting. How long does it take to impliment this? The game is good otherwise and if I could pick the controls I liked I would play it all the time. As it stands right now I never play because it annoys me. Fix this and Ill play and give you a 4 or 5 star rating. Update: we were promised configurable controls 11 months ago and now….still no configurable controls. What gives? At least tell us when they are coming. Now all mention has been removed and for all I know, it will never happen.

This indie game is so polished that youll often lose yourself in contemplating the sunsets and terrain in the background and the atmosphere of the game when you should be piloting your nimble little death-bringer to the doom of the terrorist scum below. Of course, you always end up snapping back to attention just as that SAM is about to smack into your tail rotor… Gameplay is simple and addictive. Youll end up playing certain missions over and over, because its just so much fun to try to wipe out an enemy base or a column of tanks as elegantly as you can; others youll want to play to explore the beautiful terrain. Its amazing that this is the work of just one guy. I hope he releases a level pack some day: it would be cool to see more of his vision of the world, especially some jungle or swamp levels, and to fly around in that vision killing tiny little terrorists.
