by Rainier on March 31, 2003 @ 12:52 p.m. PST

ChopLifter: Crisis Shield puts players through a series of gut-wrenching rescue missions that test both their flying skills and their ability to handle the incredible pressure of having lives on the line. And if that's not enough, the developers have made it all the more challenging by adding unpredictable weather conditions. Read more to check a fresh batch of 20 screens ...

"ChopLifter is a great remake of one of gaming's best-selling and most popular franchises. We've taken the original premise of the game (a rescue chopper saving lives) and added every bell and whistle you could possibly want. It's an amazingly real and very addictive game", says Don Zabriskie*, Head Producer at Xicat Interactive.
