Product Description
While the fast and sexy planes such as the F-14 and B-2 Bomber get
the glory, it's the helicopters that are right in the thick of things
hovering above the danger. As a chopper pilot, you'll fly these swift and
nimble birds down into the action with guns blaring. On some assignments,
you'll fly cover for rescue missions or scout out new territory ahead of
the advancing front line. If fate is on your side and you outlast
the enemy, you'll be called into duty again

The Kamov Ka-52 Alligator is one of the Russian Army's premier combat
helicopters, and KA-52 Team Alligator lets players lead a squad of these
death-dealing machines into battle. Novice pilots looking for a little
quick action in a graphically rich environment will love this helicopter
game, but enthusiasts who like their simulations firmly rooted in reality
will want to give Team Alligator a flyby.
Whether you sign up for a complete campaign or hop into a single
mission, all flights begin with a mission planning session that lets you
get a look at the topography of the mission area and designate targets
and waypoint for the flight. As the name implies, this game is more about
coordinating a team of helicopters than buzzing around on lone-wolf missions,
so a little time spent with the Mission Planner can yield huge dividends
when a mission is actually flown.
The game is far from perfect, but it is still a lot of fun. The main
problem is the sloppy physics model, which has none of the "feel" more
realistic helicopter simulations provide. Those who favor realistic simulations
will find that the play experience is a little too much like playing an
arcade game. Team Alligator definitely benefits from a joystick with a
throttle control--otherwise changing altitude is too much of a chore. If
you have a snazzy joystick and no real desire to have to learn dozens of
advanced flight instruments and systems, Team Alligator is the game you've
been waiting for. --T. Byrl Baker
From the Webmaster:
This game sounds like a kids helicopter game with tremendous graphics and
large groups of helicopters that are with you when you go on missions,
which, to me, sounds like a lot of fun!
