Airstrike 3D II: Steely Bird

Steely Bird is a fresh sequel to Air Force Missions, perhaps the most exciting 3D indie Helicopter combat action game ever released. The new sequel follows in the footsteps of its parent and takes it to the limit. The centerpiece of Steely Bird is a new terrorist base, well defended and cleverly designed to make any HEAD-ON attack pointless. Steely Bird has 24 new levels. There is a whole lot of desert flying to do because this add-on is Iraq-based. The battle scene is littered with burning oil barrels and is packed with industrial objects where sneaky terrorist land units can hide to give them unfair advantage. All 3D objects are remarkably well designed and bear a distinct Air Force Missions style touch. The choice of helicopters in Steely Bird is limited to 3 iron Birdies, but all of the machines are pure joy to pilot and attack with. The difficulty level has been increased a couple of notches, so the game should please the most demanding hard-core gamers. Even diehard helicopter simulator fans are likely to get hooked on the game instantly. As in previous versions of the game, there are briefings with the general who points out mission objectives and gives hints how to outsmart the opponents.
