ChopLifter allows players to select
from six different helicopters as they charge through the skies,
engaging in perilous missions rescuing the wounded and helpless from certain
doom. Sweat will pour from their helmets as players save victims
within the game’s 22 missions –
which include a hotel fire, an erupting volcano, chasing an explosive-packed bus
or a mountain-top plane crash.

lives are on the line, including yours. Available throughout North America for

* The name was changed from ChopLifter: Search
and Rescue to ChopLifter: Crisis Shield, due to a combination of license and
trademark issues.
