Editorial Review
Soviet Strike was the first entry in the popular Strike franchise of overhead perspective helicopter action games to appear on the PlayStation. As with the other titles in this series, gameplay is simple to learn since it is fairly straightforward. Upon receiving your mission objectives, you must proceed to the sprawling mission map where you proceed to blast everything in sight. The game's plot plays out in a series of surprisingly good cutscenes, but as we all know it's the gameplay that counts, and that's where this title unfortunately falls a little flat.

Interested in strategy? Forget it. Any planning you make here is a waste of time beyond deciding which enemy to destroy first. This is all about instant gratification. Besides, who needs to think when use of your brainpower will merely distract you from wreaking utter havoc on the landscape? The graphics are decent for a PlayStation game of this vintage, but things slow down a lot when there are too many objects crowding the screen. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Target-rich environment is great for blowing off steam
Decent graphics considering the game's age

Cons:

Too much slowdown when the screen gets crowded
Nonstop blastathon gets old in a hurry

Not bad, but overall kinda lame... November 16, 2001

I had the earlier Desert Strike for Sega, and this one is not much better. The graphics are a bit improved, but you still have the cheesy little guys you rescue that look poorly animated. Another thing that bugs me is the actors that do the voices. They can't do a Russian accent-it sounds in some places like a Scottish accent, then in others a Mexican. There are some aspects of the game I like, but honestly I don't think it's worth what I paid for (...) I might check out Nuclear Strike to see if it's any better, I assume it is but won't fork over any more money until I know for sure.

This was my first game for my Playstation game console and I loved this game! You're flying in a Super Apache with Smart Armor.
Ex-soviet terrorists have enough nuclear power to turn the Earth
into glass, and YOU must stop the "Shadowman".
This game has five Campaigns:
Crimea : Save Nick
Black Sea: Stop three thermo nuclear subs, save Admad
Caspian : Stop Savak
Dracula : Stop three SCUDS
Kremlin :Stop Shadowman, Blow up two ICBMs
Code: if you want unlimited armor, fuel and ammo fill in this code
Midnigh--- you will need to find out the rest.

This game is okay. The graphics aren't that hot. It is kind of an okay game. Its got a cool story to it. You are an airplane trying to destroy everything, and save locals. Its the graphics that made me not like the game. Also the fact that I had no idea how, or what to do.
