On A Pilotwing And A Prayer June 13, 2006
R. G. Kirby (UK)
One of three games purchased with my then new U64 back in late 1997, Pilotwings has become an integral part of my gaming enjoyment on this platform.
Pilotwings has an encouraging playability and freedom to move and explore almost anywhere on the following islands: Holiday, Crescent, Everfrost and Little States (only about 3 virtual Km from Seattle to Florida!)
A choice of 6 characters helps to negotiate different tasks and courses: Kiwi and Lark are the two little guys (girl and boy anyway); Goose and Ibis are the tall guy and gal respectively with their long slender frames, while Hawk and Robin are the sturdy Dude and Lady pair. Each physically matched pair has different qualities to the others: eg Lark/Kiwi are light for time to altitude tasks, while Hawk/Robin can descend quickly in a dive more controllably. This leaves the long legged pair able to touchdown on relay pads with the minimum of time loss.
The flying contraptions they use include jetpacks, gyrocopters and hangliders. Each character has their own colours/insignia on whatever they fly.
Extra games unfurl as progression through the Academy is maintained. These include human canonball, aiming characters at a distant target; jumblehopping, using spring boots to leap huge distances to a finish zone; parachuting from 3000m with the team, and a freeflight with characters just free to fly and land indefinitely using wings unless you crash them! Stars
can be found in some of the main games whereby touching them allows a freeflight break from the task.
In all: graphics are beautiful; gameplay is enchanting and the music is sublime, ranging from funky keyboard to wistful woodwind.
An emotionally nourishing adventure game from a trusted gaming brand.

After playing the first Pilotwings game on the SNES I purchased Pilotwings 64. It is a great game with several different options when it comes to vehicles and pilots. You can either enjoy the scenery with the mini USA map which is filled with easter eggs or work your way through the suibtably enjoyable levels. Even if you are not a fan of flying, the catchy graphics and music will keep you engrossed for hours upon hours. When I eventually sell my N64 this is the game I will miss the most BUY BUY BUY!!!
