PilotWings Resort (Nintendo 3DS, 2011)

I bought this game because I really like my Nintendo 3DS system and I really like flying games. I looked at this in the stores and it was $40 everywhere, so I decided not to get it until the price went down. However, I searched for it on eBay, and I found a new copy of it for only $11 shipped, so I decided for that low price, I had to get it.

As far as the game itself, I don't really care for it. There is not that much content, and the whole game can be beat in under ten hours. The 3D effects is great, and I enjoyed the music and sound effects as well, but there is not much depth or content making it worth wile. None of the aircraft, or anything about the game, for that matter, is that realistic. For example, steering and controlling each aircraft is way, way too easy. Another thing is that when you descend, or fly downward, you do not gain speed. Pretty much, with each aircraft, there is a set speed that you fly at, weather you are traveling up or down, high or low in altitude.

I'd rate the game as follows, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best:

3D effects = 8/10
Music and sounds = 8/10
Controls and button setup = 7/10
Difficulty = 4/10
Realism = 3/10
Graphics and visuals = 6/10
Content = 3/10
Replay value = 7/10
Story mode = 4/10
Free-flight mode = 6/10
Price ($11, shipped) = 10/10
OVERALL = 6/10

So here's the thing; although the game wasn't great, if you can get it for around $11, shipped, like I did, I'd recommend it. I will say, though, it's not worth any more than $20, max.

I hope I helped.

God bless.

I only bought this game here at eBay because it was very, very cheap for a Brand New conditioned game. This game is good because you can play various missions with all three vehicles, the plane, the rocket belt, and the glider, unlock various content and playables, and you can fly around Wuhu Island to collect and find Ballons, Information Icons, and more. I think that this game could have used the gyroscopic controls as an option so that people can utilize the system's built-in gyro to move around the vehicles, missions are short if you play non-stop, and rocket belts can be a bit hard to control. Overall, this game is good and worth picking up a cheap, Brand New Conditioned game for your 3DS.

My ten year old really likes this flying game. Some flights are a challenge and although there is repetition, he enjoys playing it.

Ahh.. PilotWings Resort... Fun game, its good. Just not sure if its worth buying Brand New. If you are considering of purchasing this game, I highly recommend buying the USED one. With the used one, you get the same game quality at a whole lot cheaper price. I wouldn't say this is a must have game but it is nice to have it, especially when you're bored out of your mind.

Pilotwings is a good game. Get's kind of boring after a while, but the graphics and stuff is amazing for a handheld gaming system. I would recommend it to whoever has Wii Sports Resort, Wii Sports etc. I think you'll like it.
