You will defend diplomats, provide close air support for Delta Force troops and even take part in an attack on an aircraft carrier in one of the more warlike missions.
Mission objectives include everything from attacking drug smugglers' boats as they bring narcotics into America to blowing up chemical warfare facilities behind enemy lines. These are based very much in the modern world, with less focus on all-out conflict and more missions involving special operations against terrorists and criminals, in settings ranging from the islands of the Carribbean and tropical jungles to arid desert valleys and abandoned city streets. This wholesale destruction is encouraged in a series of six mini-campaigns, each featuring between three and five missions to complete. Anybody who is at all familiar with first person shooters should be able to quickly get to grips with the Comanche and then get on with the important business of blowing stuff up with its 20mm cannon, 70mm rockets and Hellfire and Stinger missiles. The developers promise that you can get into the swing of things within five minutes, and judging from my own experience with the game so far, they seem to have accomplished that. Comanche 4 is being presented by Novalogic as a return to the simplicity and fast-paced action of the first game in the series. But at its most basic the game is very much a case of pick-up-and-play. Hardcore flight sim fanatics will be glad to hear that the game includes a scaleable flight model though, which can give players more detailed control over the eponymous next-generation RAH-66 Comanche armed recon helicopter and its systems if desired. Indeed, Comanche 4's controls have more in common with those of a first person shooter than a typical flight sim, working perfectly well with just a keyboard and mouse. Perhaps the most striking thing as I entered the office of Novalogic UK PR executive Chris Clarke was the fact that there wasn't a joystick in sight.
