Zero Gunner 2 this ain't..I'll go ahead and say that right now. Instead of trying to at least mimic the excellent concept done by Psyiko these guys simply play it off like any other vertical..only this is more of a 2.5d style vertical. It looks very impressive even though it doesn't quite do 60 FPS on my PC(Could be due to lack of graphical power on my part but who knows?)
Anyway you go through the stages blasting the foes with your regular shot that powers up multiple times, a bunch of missiles, and a couple super special weapons(Like a Nuke and a spread missile shot). It's decent enough stuff but quite easy. Since A) you get a health meter with readily available health refill powerups and B) Just not intense enough. This is probably set on the easier difficulty settings(Plus they are fairly early stages in the game). The full version probably has an entire mess of difficulty settings.
Well like I said before it's no Zero Gunner 2 but it looks and plays solid enough and I'd like to check out the full version(which is a modestly priced 19.95). Granted it could be awhile before that happens.
Oh and on another note. Yes I do run WindowsME and thanks I know it sucks but when I quit the game it gave me an illegal operation error and made my screen look all screwed up at least until the reboot. Granted I don't blame these guys if they don't want to do ME support

Review
The Air Strike 3D demo is quite good for what it is. There is of course something involving the military, terrorism, maybe even aliens, and it's up to your helicopter to destroy them all. You select from a total of 10 copters(2 in the demo) and raise hell through some large number of stages(I forgot how many but..2 in the demo mmkay?)
Tips
Using your regular gun instead of your powered up weapon is tougher but you get more points.
