Gameplay
As in the original, the objective of the game is to rescue hostages.

Gameplay is largely the same as the original Choplifter and revolves around piloting a rescue helicopter into hostile territory and rescuing hostages.[1] Enemies like birds, fighter jets, and ammunition fired from various weapons can harm the player's helicopter. Saving more hostages than the scenario requires will allow players to collect extra points. However, losing a lot of hostages will lead to a loss of continues; regardless of how many lives the player has during that time.

Reception

Mean Machines gave the game a 90%, calling it a "perfect mini blastathon which packs thrills and spills in a totally addictive package that's impossible to resist" and "a simple, yet highly compelling game..." that "should keep you glued to your Gameboy for weeks."[2] Gary Whitta, writing for Advanced Computer Entertainment, gave the game a positive review, commenting on the portable sequel's faithfulness to its predecessor.[1]

French Magazine Joypad gave the game an 82%, calling it a "pleasant and fun game which still has a flaw; the controls".[3]
