BFenris Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I've played the game quite a bit and unlocked a good quantity of the trophies for the game. The platinum for this game will not be difficult with exception of the Local Coop ones for some people. Other than that, the game isn't just a lot of fun but it's going to be a fairly quick plat for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta64 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Will vote when I get the plat, but this is really heading towards easy. Probably a 3 or 4. (sucks how it seems me and you are the only ones on here playing the game, BFenris.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catscan93 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I can't decide whether or not I'm happy or sad that the game is relavitely easy to platinum. The last game from Gaijin, IL-2 Birds of Prey, was the mother of all son of a bitches to platinum, so I'm happy that I'll be able to play and complete another one of their fantastic games within a reasonable ammount of time, but sad that I won't have another tough as nails Rusky-developed platinum on my list Will pick it up soon. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyPython Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I would not say easy, there are a couple of missions on Veteran that are pretty tough. It is not a 1 by no means a 10, I would say about a 5. The local co-op is a piece of cake. I had my 10 year old daughter help. How it works: 1. Main controller controls the helo 2. The seond controller is the gunner You fly around have 2nd controller hold R1 while you use your nose as the targeting system. Pretty easy.

eurospeed Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I platinumed this last night and this is one of those rare games where I enjoyed every bit of it. Yes, it is considerably easier than IL-2, but that's not a bad thing as the IL-2 online and plane unlocks were incredibly tedious. That being said, I'd say Apache is about a 4/10 in difficulty.

ChunkyPython Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I would give the game a 6 out of 10, simple because of 2 operations and 2 campaign missions. If not for these 2 it would be lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firthy369 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just platinumed this yesterday, I voted a 4. Nothing too difficult, I found that because I played the campaign on training first, it made playing it on realistic very easy once I got the hang of the controls. Even the 'sharks on the water' and 'city on fire' missions I found easy because I knew exactly what to do. Some of the squad operations are nearly impossible by yourself, but once you know what to do (some of the instructions aren't overly clear) and playing with 1-3 other people online make them not too bad. Very enjoyable tackling missions with other people. Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed platinuming Apache Air Assault and can't wait for a sequel (if they make one, here's hoping). Now I'm going to try IL-2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey seeing as I enjoyed this so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor007 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 4 of 10. 2 o 4 missions complicated in Realistic mode. Special Operations, necesary 2-3 people, rest trophies easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cauchy Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I voted a 7. This game has some severe difficulty spikes and, for many, the controls will never meld. The two missions "Sharks in the Water" and "City on Fire" can be infuriatingly frustrating. Also, if you don't ever find anybody online to help with some of the Spec Op (or whatever they're called) missions, then you're in for a pretty rough time.

flinmac01 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Just platted, good, fun game. can get a bit frustrating in parts but using the guides on this forum and youtube helps. All but two/three of the squad missions can be beaten single player. The others just need one other decent partner (thanks quany87) to get thru and no biggie. air to air on realistic is prob what sucks most, i think the game is pre programmed in certain points to either beat or not beat enemy aircraft with ATA missiles. ( try autohover at about 2km and use IR with gun - time consuming but takes them down eventually) flinmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Rated a 6. Had quite a bit of trouble with this one. Very fun game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackney_gee Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 personally speaking i will give this 5-6 as i had trouble with the control of this beautiful aircraft, once i got used to it, realism difficulty was soo easier than training, another one put to rest.

Maldovar Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I rated this a 7, which is high for me, but it was simply a matter of the controls feeling unnatural to me and a few select challenges/missions that really brought it up. By the way, did anyone ever figure out why they bothered putting ATA missiles in the game when rockets and even machine guns are more likely to manage to take down an airborne target? (Sorry, rhetorical question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry, rhetorical question) If you know how to use stingers then you never miss with them, its simple: get close. After figuring it out i have never had problems with taking helicopters down.

Zooyork26 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 voted a 7 cause this game was a hard learning curve for flying... even now that i beat it i still get squirrely some times... the most difficult mission was city on fire cause i couldnt protect them all long enough and then i find out the countdown stops at 19 i cant tell you how many times i got to 22 secs or so and just missed it sharks in the water is difficult as well but theres no tanks in the water thankfully lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARKILLER 1138 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm with ya zoo! I say 7 too easily for just "City" and "Sharks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLIVERMC97 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Voted a 7. Some of the campaign missions on Realistic are very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batfink2009 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I give it a 5,i think this game wasn't given a good review but i don't listen to what they say i loved it,annoying online waiting for players to join and also 1 trophy glitch which worked after reading the walk around fix,hope they make another one of these soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaozserben Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I just platinumed it less than an hour ago. I give it a solid 5. The secondary objectives bug had me copying my save files and replaying parts of the campaign using a new profile to obtain it which was sort of a drag, but otherwise it's fairly easy to platinum.

DeputyVinny Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Platinum!! Nice to see this game is still "Platinumable" The ONLY online trophy is Squadrowned and it is VERY easy to get!! I played all of the Squad Operations solo except the first one (in order to get Squadrowned you have to play at least one with an online partner) Playing the Squad Operations solo was quite the challenge, but fun at the same time (I got to be quite the pilot)!

jmac92123 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have no idea how you are all rating this sooo easy...... Sharks in the water has sucked the life out of this game for me. I am never going to complete the Veteran play though:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompeteLevel10 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Based on solo play though 100% I rated this a 6. The most difficult part is learning how to fly the damn thing on realistic, and how to land the bird on the helipads to re-arm/ repair. After that it's learning the patterns of how the enemies come at you. I played 90% of the game in virtual cockpit that was by far the best way to play the game in my opinion. Squad Ops with 2 or more would be a breeze, so maybe even a 4 if you were partnered up the whole time, and couch co op for the campaign as well.

Chucho2484 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 6/10. Game is easy most of the times but missions where you need to combat UAV/choppers is difficult due to the insane amount of rockets they fire. Realistic isn't bad at all but like I said before, you will get a lot of unnecessary trouble with aerial combat, my advice? If you can fight them from a distance (about 2km) and don't have any timer on you use this since I saw at that distance, aircrafts don't pursuit you and don't shoot you so abuse the infrared sight and the cannon. 2 to 3 squad operations can be frustrating so my advice is to find a 2nd player that can help you with this.
