Pilot Wings 64 (N64)

Introduction ************** Pilot Wings64 first made itself onto the scene's in 1997 here in the U.K. Pilot Wings was one of the launch titles on the Nintendo 64, but was never really noticed much due to Super Mario 64 stealing all of the headlines. I first played Pilot-wings on the SNES, I wasn't really a big fan of this game then, but would this game make any impact on me? How to play ************* The idea behind this game is easy enough, you choose from one of three wind-propelled vehicles. Then you have set tasks, some tasks will be getting you to fly then land on a certain target, others will be taking pictures of a certain land mark ...  Read the complete review

Pilot Wings. This was one of the first games I got on the N64. At first I thought it was a little dull, but that was before I became engrosed with its tight and addictive gameplay. There are three modes in which you travel differently to get points. Unlocking extras through achieving a set amount of points via medal's (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) is something more games should be using. And I don't just mean sport games. This game has you flying all over the place, my favourite form being the jetpack. The gaming world and its locations are beautiful and a job to explore. As is using the camera in some of the levels. It really is ...  Read the complete review

How come the N64 launch games, Mario 64 and Pilotwings, didn’t need loads of fogging like other N64 games??? Anyway, the graphics on this game are very good, and in general this is a very original and very entertaining game. I always thought that this game sounded boring, manoeuvring various air-borne vehicles between hoops and such, but in practice this is fantastic fun, mostly because it’s quite a challenge! Also, added replay value comes in Birdman mode. I never thought that a competition with my mates to create the most artistic photograph would be such fun! It is! This game is! You must try this! ...  Read the complete review

And it’s called Pilotwings 64. The original game was pretty good the controls were crisp, the graphics (for it day) were clear and its playability was second to none. Now for the update, with improved graphics, bigger arenas, more missions, more difficulty levels, and even speech. This game should have been as big as the SNES classic, but it wasn't for one reason, its not as playable. The way it is controlled, you never really feel as though you actually directly controlling the pilot. The response just doesn't feel right. It’s hard to pin point it but there’s something not quite right. Maybe it’s the analogue control, I ...  Read the complete review

I feel priviledged to do the first review on Pilotwings. This was one of the first game to be released with this console, yet it is a classic flying game. It is a cross between a simulator and a mission game. You get to choose from a range of aircraft- the rocket one is the best. You have to complete the brilliant missions in the quickest possible time and with the least possible mistakes in order to get a medal. There are a range of medals- Bronze, Silver and Gold with other awards for a particularly good mission. This is an excellent game and you could probably find it 2nd hand quite cheaply! ...  Read the complete review
