A significant upgrade from the former games in the Comanche series
The game play of this sim has no equal. The firefights are mostly fast-paced, and the combat mostly involves multiple hostiles. The former Comanche games were much slower, and less exciting. This game offers many improvements to the system, involving pre-mission cut scenes, and other small additions that improve the game's formula.
The graphics look stunning. The vehicle models are some of the most realistic-looking models ever seen in the Comanche series. Even the special effects look impressive, and very much improved from the earlier games. Another small detail is the infantry, though many have the same face, the models still look realistic and behave properly.
The sound effects are also impressive. The rotor blades are more audible when the torque is increased, and the engine sound is almost soothing. Ground vehicles have good motor sounds, and rockets also sound good when they are launched.
The game features several different campaigns with multiple missions. It takes several game hours to play through the whole campaign on hard mode, and the missions all vary in length. This game even features a program which allows the user to create missions. Overall, the game length was very satisfying.
As explained here, Comanche 4 is no doubt the best game in its series. It features multiple improvements to the original game, which allows it to be a worthy sequel.
