Review - Pilotwings


I remember the first time I played this game. I don't remember where it was or who was there; all I remember was that beutiful red biplane. Pilotwings is a brilliant game. You're in training trying to get your (what'd ya know?) Pilotwings. In each level you must master a new skill as well as improve on the old ones. Flying a light plane, parachuting, hang-gliding, and jet packing (not in that order). If you play this game once, you'll get hooked.

Graphics: (6/10) Pilotwings is not pretty! But, you must realize, Pilotwings has 3D environments with free movement in all directions. For a SNES game, that's impressive. You can tell that all the buildings are flat and the detail fades quickly into the distance. But the illusion is convincing enough to make it fun.

Sound: (7/10) VROOOOOM!!!! I love the sound of the light plane! The sounds in Pilotwings are great! The music is unique and soothing. Sound effects are present and do their job well.

Fun: (9/10) Woohoo! Jump off a helicopter and skydive through 5 rings, then pull your chute and land on a moving patform over water! It's a blast. Once you've completed the first 4 training areas you get to go on a millitary mission. Then you return to training.... at night. Pilotwings is more than fun.

Creativity: (9/10) Who would have thought a game about flight training would be so damn cool? The original concept is very creative and a lot of thought has been put into every aspect of this game. Great stuff.

Multi-Player: Sorry. Single player only.

Tips and Cheats:Game Winner's cheat codes.

Errors: Yessir. These complex 3D graphics don't translate well. Use Snes9x and you won't have too many problems. The light plane is real trippy if you fly close to the ground and turn... hahaha
