Pilot Academy (PSP) ... commercial, private and military flight simulation offers both single-player missions, challenges and multi-player aerial combat and delivers the most authoritative simulation ever seen on a handheld. The game is built upon staggering technology and realism and features detailed landscapes from 30,000ft down to landing. With three regions to explore, each around 64km square, this handheld flight sim packs significantly more than its home console counterparts. Beginning with a selection of training exercises to familiarise yourself with the controls, the game then moves straight into a series of increasingly challenging missions. Boasting a wide range of aircraft from all generations, Pilot Academy gives you the opportunity to fly the Boeing 747, Spitfire, F-117 Nighthawk, A-10A Thunderbolt II plus an F-14 Tomcat amongst many others. Controls offer the complexity of piloting a range of aircraft without insisting players are double-jointed plus Pilot Academy provides specific vocal instructions for those who veer off course. Up to four players can take part in three different multiplayer games with the 'Deathmatch' mode available to any PSP owner whether they own a copy of the game or not. Four eras of combat plane are represented from World War I through World War II and The Cold War to modern-day combat each with their own challenges. All types and sizes of civilian planes are on offer from crop sprayers to massive 300-seater passenger jets and everything in between with appropriate challenges for each class. Stunt aircraft will test dexterity whilst commercial aircraft will demand other skills such as emergency landings in fierce conditions.

Each of the missions and lessons introduce a different aircraft and era of flight, giving a hugh scope spanning world war one bi and tri-planes through to present day ground attack and fighter planes, unfortunately you will only get this one mission to use each of these planes and eras.

While the principle of this game is sound, good intuitive controlls and some interesting set peiece missions it is at best an arcade style time waster - usefull for a few hours but if you are stuck with it for a weekend or even a long haul flight you will soon tire of its limited scope and vision. The gameplay has a lot of potential and as a base vehicle it is disapointing that it has fallen so far short of its potential.

Premium Review Wonderful flight sim for a lazy Sunday afternoon (509 words)

Lets get big the negative out the way to start with. The load times are very bad. From the PSP menu to playing a game takes an amazingly long one minute 55 seconds. Restarting the current map takes 15 seconds. It is simply not possible to have a "quick blast". Alas this is an issue with the PSP more than just this game. The graphics are lovely. Clear pictures of blue sky, cities and wildlife, the only faults I can come up with for the graphics are - No cockpit mode, not quite enough stuff in a city and the wildlife is not animated. The lack of a cockpit might annoy some hard-core flight sim fans but the wildlife is just me being picky. The lack of ...  Read the complete review
