Try as hard as I might, I can't think of one single, solid helicopter flight simulator released for the PC in the past few years. The last notable entries in the genre probably date back to 2003, and even before that, helicopter sims weren't much of a playful attraction. But there have been a few good ones, and from them, (one of) the best was probably Enemy Engaged: RAH-66 Comanche vs. Ka-52 Hokum - or simply Comanche vs. Hokum.
Enemy Engaged may not be a very popular name by today's standards anymore, but fans of the genre surely rejoiced last year, when first rumours about a sequel began to surface. Well, today we received word from UK publisher G2 Games that Enemy Engaged 2 is indeed coming, and it's coming fast! If no stormy clouds are encountered along the way, the new sim should be out during 2007. Unfortunately, details are still scarce, but here's what we know so far:
"Enemy Engaged 2 is set to take the series even further with new dynamic missions and a complete overhaul of the graphics and audio to bring the game up to date with the latest and best flight simulations available." Enemy Engaged 2 has been in development since early 2005. And since the first two sims in the series (Apache/Havoc from 1998, and Comanche vs. Hokum from 2000) were both developed by Razorkwords Studios, we're assuming they will be making the sequel as well - although we're still waiting for confirmation on this one from G2.
