[edit] Hints ruin it

Should there be hints? This is an encyclopedia, not a game manual. Shoshonna 23:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree. There shouldn't be hints. I modified them to look a little better, but I decided against removing them for now. Hints kinda ruin it and most of those aren't very good. The last one is also cut off.

I wondered that myself whilst working on the page - I've reformatted the Cheats section along with the rest of the article and have added spoiler tags as well, so hopefully they're more bearable for now. CountdownCrispy 16:50, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Right, I think I've found the definite answer to this one over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games; they specifically state under scope of information that "Content that may be moved to gaming wikis" includes "Lists of cheats or codes. Some codes may be notable and suitable for articles... but the method of performing a code that's confined to only a few games and has no special claim to fame is unsuitable for Wikipedia." Unless anyone has any objections (and given the line of thread here, that doesn't look too likely! ;-)) I'll move them to a more appropriate Wiki tomorrow.

[edit] Just wondering...

Yes um I have been wanting to make fancomics of this comic for quite sometime but I have realized I can't find any Sprite sheets for it so I was wondering if any of the wikians have since well it's a great game and would make a pretty good fancomic... So respond if you have the time. - Bassium!

[edit] The grammar in this article is a mess

There are many fragments, and the writing is too informal. It needs to be copy-edited. 69.138.167.245 23:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I've completely rewritten the article, including added the appropriate infobox, proper definition lists, a table for all of the weapons and some images that hopefully better illustrate the game. The only thing that I can see as missing is the specifications of the Special Edition weapons; I haven't got that version of the game so if anyone could add the appropriate information to the weapons table I'd be very grateful. :-) Regards, CountdownCrispy 16:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Ooh, I forgot to mention that if anyone can find some sources then please add those, since I reckon this could become a GA. CountdownCrispy 16:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA

This article failed the GA nominations due to having a very in-game perspective. The article could also use a history section about how the game was developed. Tarret 20:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Tarret,

Having waited three weeks for the results of the GA nomination I'd appreciate it if you could make some more specific suggestions on how to raise the standards of the article. For example, the article used to have a History section - see this old version of the article. During the peer review it was suggested that this was moved to a separate article and I duly obliged, starting Heli Attack (series). Should this be brought back or should a new section be written and, if so, what should it include?

Also, how should I go about making it come from less of a gamer's perspective? I can see your point, but how much should be rewritten or removed without compromising the quality of the article? Again, any comments and suggestions on this would be richly appreciated.

Thanks for reviewing the article, now please make it possible for myself and other edito... actually, it's just me ;-) to raise the bar and make this a GA.
