Terrains include desert, snowfields, cityscapes, countrysides, and more. There are 12 distinct locations in the Chopper 2 world, and each contains three different missions for 36 total missions to the game. The experience of weaving about the enemy airspace, laying down fire while dodging missiles, trees, and flocks of birds (they do damage, too!) is a white-knuckle affair, and the deep, parallax scene rendering of your chopper gliding along a canyon wall can really bring the vertigo at times.Īnd it’s not just canyon walls you’ll be negotiating.
It features that same side scrolling action, but with a completely re-written 3D engine that delivers dramatically improved, highly fluid “2.5D" visuals with a much greater depth-of-field. Let’s first look at the gameplay.Ĭhopper 2 is a highly enhanced take on the same basic shoot and rescue formula of the original. In this area, as well as in the area of game controls, Frampton has gone rather above and beyond. And that’s not the last word on the display options offered by the game. So just what’s taken so long to bring this title to the App Store? For one, Chopper 2 has emerged a universal application that runs on the iPhone / iPod touch, iPhone 4, and iPad, fully utilizing the screen resolution of each device. But, at long last, it has landed in the App Store.
Originally expected to be completed in just six months for an August ’09 release, Chopper 2 has taken a hefty 16 months to complete.
And quite a bit of work it turned out to be. Since then, the game has been downloaded more than 350,000 times.Ī little over half a year after Chopper‘s debut, inspired by the game’s success, Frampton began work on the sequel, Chopper 2. Chopper was very well received from the start and quickly became one of the true App Store success stories, seeing 500 downloads a day (at $7.99), early on.

David Frampton and his Majic Jungle Software first crossed our radar when his aerial shoot and rescue title Chopper debuted two years ago as one of the more notable App Store launch titles.
