Makayama Media’s iPhone flyer Flight Stunts [link] has made its App Store debut. The comment thread on our preview of the game showed real interest in this title from our readers.
Flight Stunts challenges players to complete 20 demanding missions such as maneuvering an Airbus A319 under the Golden Gate Bridge, dropping a paratrooper in the Beijing Olympic Stadium, and dogfighting over the Pacific and Moscow. The developer indicates that, while the popular X-Plane 9 is about instrument panels and weather conditions, Flight Stunts is all about fun and action.
We’ve not spent much time with this title but can say that the game uses dramtically simplified renditions of the various geographic regions featured within. This may not be a particular negative as Flight Stunts is not an attempt at a fully accurate flight simulation.
Unfortunately, reaction from early adopters have been rather negative:
YUCK!!! Needs work! Needs tilt reset, and maybe a way to pause or quit? – doctorded
I agree with you. Also there is collision problems with the graphics and at some points has choppy animation. hopefully an update will correct all the problems in processing and reset the tilt. – radchad1
