PC Games, July/August 1997

"This latest offering from 7th Level is the sort of game that would look right at home on a console system, or even in the arcade. No small feat, actually. A mission-based action sim, HeliCOPS isn't deep or complex, but it sure is fun."

"Aside from the entertaining single-player mode, HeliCOPS' deathmatch mode is another ace in its favor. While the game offers the usual eight-player IPX and two-player modem connections, the TCP/IP Internet support is incredible. Like G-NOME, HeliCOPS ran nearly perfect over the course of several test games with different players and numbers of players with virtually no lag. The only error we encountered was an occasional loss of synchronization after playing for several minutes. Deathmatches made the city levels even more appealing, although there's no cooperative team mode, which would have been a useful addition.

"Break it all down, and you've got a game that's fun, fast-paced, hard, and full of explosions. The great Internet play gives it another boost, and on the whole, I'd definitely recommend it for mindless-action fans. It's just a shame more effort wasn't put into the story or characters; that would have given the one-player game much better long-term play value."
