Pilot Wings Resort (3DS)

[davek22]

Squirrel suit is great. In 3D I felt like James Bond in Moonraker tilting forward to get the speed up. Didn't click with this game at first but once you get past the first couple of sets of missions things pick up a lot with more challenging missions.

Really enjoying this. I know it might not seem very long for some people but I'm finding it a great pick up and play game which is just what I'm looking for from a handheld game. Great visuals and good use of 3D when you fly through the mountains and under a bridge. Quite simple to play and you can make it as hard as you want it really depending on what your targets are. I'm trying to get full 3 stars on everything but it's starting to get tricky.

A good introduction to the 3DS.

Finished all the missions now, but still need to get 3 stars on all of the platinum ones and most of the gold ones! They certainly get harder as you go - some I only got 1 star on at first and have only got 2 even after a few goes.

Just opened up the Jet and I do like this more than I thought I would. Due to its light content it's a shoe in for an early trade in but it's nice to see the series back

I thought I'd probably trade this and SSF4, but I'm not so sure now, I'm getting into them both now and wouldn't mind keeping them. I've been hammering Explore mode and the jet and rocket pack are brilliant, especially the latter, I think this is my favourite launch game so far, of the ones I've tried.

It's great to have Pilot Wings back as well, it's been too long! Just want Wave Race to make a return now...

Been doing a bit of Free Flight Mode after getting frustrated on my 3 star mission quest. Dunno if anyone else has tried it yet but you can pick your vehicle (out of the ones you've unlocked) and have to collect different things depending on what your using, which in turn unlock the dioramas, give you extra time in free flight mode, and allow you to pick between day/evening/night in free flight too. Nice extra that makes the game last just that little bit longer!

[Party boy]

When I said Explore mode I of course meant free flight mode! I'm up 4.5 minutes and not too far off 5 minutes, got the three times of day and 5 Diorama's so far. I have a feeling it'll be hard to find all the balloons, which I've been focusing on so far, it makes it worse that you can only collect each balloon in one of the 3 vehicle classes, so you have to remember where you saw white ballons which can be easier said than done, then see which of the other 2 vehicle classes can collect it.

I have 10 or less to go, so they're pretty thin on the ground now.

I love this game. Sure it may be short but as others have noted it is the perfect pick up and play game. A wee five minutes here and there is all I'm usually after with a handheld so this is right up my street.

Currently trying to work my way through and get three stars for everything. Only on silver so far and there have been a few tricky ones that have required several retries to get right.

Overall - Awesome/10

I unlocked Platinum and had a go at all the missions in there earlier, so got to play with the Super Rocket Belt - my new favourite vehicle! Plus i can use it in Free Flight mode, which is great. I think pretty much all the balloons I have left to get are for the glider though, which is a pain, even the pedddle one's really slow aand takes ages to get anywhere...

I'm really liking this. It's good for a chill out.

I've been playing with the 3D on full with everything apart from this... it takes it to crazy depths, if I focus on just one thing I see double of everything else.

The 3D really is ace. Starfox is going to be amazing.

[SkilloChris]

I'm loving this game, a bit thin on the ground feature wise, but it's so fun and such a nice throwback I can forgive it. The 3D effect is fantastic too, really pronounced. I can play it with the slider all the way and not have a problem focusing, but I could see a lot of people having to dial it back a bit - so much depth to the image! Definitly glad I picked this up with my 3DS!

[Party boy]

This game should be relaxing, and can be, but when you're chasing perfect scores etc it can be so frustrating! I've got perfect scores on most of the Rocket pack levels, but I find landing the other two is pretty hit and miss. It's a very nice little game, it'd just be nice if there was more to do...

[BaronSqwelch]

really enjoying this...perfect little bite size chunks of game.

good for 2 reasons, one i take short journeys, get short breaks etc and also because the 3d really works my eyes hard! oddly my left aches much earlier than my right, dropped it down to about 2/3rds on the slider to make it more comfortable but also to 'train' my eyes faster.

have been getting 3 stars quite easy upto now but getting perfects will take me ages.

This is a perfect game to dip into for half an hour. I am working my way through the free flight collections and it just gets better the more I play it. Once I 100% it I am going to go through again with a new save.
