This game is so fun, and a great showcase for 3D, especially when moving the camera around during replays.

God, I didnt even remember about the wind in the other games. Im calling the game difficult because perfecting the last missions is going to be horrible. I dont see so bad the pedal glider, but theres some missions of the jetpack that are really difficult (not to beat I mean), worse offender being the golden ballons one. The jetpack at least becomes the best vehicle in free mode
(super jetpack is awesome)
Im findining it more difficult than SNES pilotwings, in the last missions (maybe because they were lots of skydiving and I was really good at it). The landings with the parachute were a bit tricky becuase of the wind, but in Resot the handglider gives me the same problems even without any wind.

You can hate all you want the game for different reasons. Is not your cup of tea, thats perfect, but saying the game only lasts 2.5 hours is FALSE, because its not, not even in a mile.
As I say, people who want to really beat any 3D Mario dont leave the game after 60 stars and beating bowser, if you "beated" pilotwings like that, you are not beating the game, so the 2.5 hours you gave is not the real duration of the game. Now, you can say that for you lacks content because theres only Wuhu Island, thats totally acceptable, because its really one of the major flaws of the game.

Look for a guide of WiiSports resorts, maybe you will find it that way (i think they are the same, correct me someone if im wrong). I really dont know, I still have 15 to go.
Maybe is the secret one in the
middle of the sea? (its actually in the really up in the air in the middle of the sea)

I love taking photos on this. I hope Zelda 3D has a photo mode too, like Wind Wakers. Where you can export your pics to the SD card.
My only gripe with Pilotwings photos is the artifacted images. We should be able to get them as .png or something.

Does it save 3D photos (MPOs) as well? If so check out 3dporch.com - which someone posted in another thread.
Started off not being able to play Pilotwings on full 3D (just like at the event last month), but now I can play it on full just fine.
Superb game - really does feel like the previous two in a lot of ways (although I do admit, the original SNES one is still my favourite!). I've not got a single 3 star rating yet, I'm still on Gold with a lot left to do - and I've been playing for 5 hours! Bearing in mind that I can blaze through the SNES Pilotwings in merely two hours with perfect ratings, I'm satisfied.
And going onto free flight mode in a plane, hitting X, and then flying around in first person mode in full 3D is incredible! I love doing that, then flying up over the volcano, flying down it and then out through the tunnel entrance at full speed, like a boss!

My eyes started being watery when i played it at full 3d for the first time, but now it's not a problem.richisawesome said:
I never experienced headaches, nausea or things like that... just watery eyes D:
My favorite Pilotwings is the N64 one because of its novelty - i never played the SNES one - and because of easter eggs like mount rushmore.
Since i never played Sports Resort Wuhu feels pretty new too, but i kind of miss some N64 isles.

Stunning.
Just opened Silver and the game is delivering, fooking LOVE IT. The hovering Jetpack landing pads work so well in 3D, in fact the whole damn game does. It just works.
Also, the music is melting my mind as its so awesomely cool

The game does deliver. The only thing it is really missing due to its lean dev time is a few 3DS feature integrations. If there would have been a simple leaderboard system where you saw the times and maybe got some messages about when friends beat you in events, that would have sent it over the top. Or even just a shuffle data function where you randomly see the Mii of a selected person playing the game and see their time, if it's higher than yours. Basically the Mario Kart Wii ghost challenge system. Work up the ladder.
(Dear god, cannot wait to see what the Mario Kart team does with all this functionality.)

Yeah it's great. You can catch a few bars of the hanglider music from Pilotwings 64 at times.Frillen said:
I've only done the training missions and a few free flights, and I have to say I'm loving this game so far. The 3D is amazing, if you turn it off you really do lose a lot. The music is great, the graphics are excellent, the feel of flight is fantastic. Fortunately I never had Wii Sports Resort (or a Wii for that matter) so the island is still new to me.

If you love the 3D you will love the airplane diorama, holy fuck, the wing always seem to pop out A LOT outside of the screen.
And yeah, the music is awesome.
Yeah, the red stars in training medal are really easy to get, but it was satisfying when I got back to get them.
Some in the bronce ones are already a little tricky.

You know, reading the reviews, I was concerned it was not going to be that good and be done before I enjoyed it.
Thankfully I bit the bullet and got it.
Wow, this is great! The 3D really works on this game, and if you look around during replays, it is astounding how the depth really helps the scenery.
I just beat the training missions, missed perfect a couple times and will return there later. The free flight missions should be longer, frankly. If you did play the airplane mode in Wii Sports Resort to completion, you might find those a bit less entertaining than I do, but since I did not finish that, this feels fresh and delightful to try out.
I can sorta see why it got the mid 7s, from the purely content point of view. All I can say is that if this game does well, Nintendo better damn well let Monster Games make a Pilotwings sequel which ventures away from Wuhu and to some new locales!

I think is between the triton's ark and poseidon's ark, passing the lighthouse, near one of the land airplane zones, but Im not really sure, is the upper part in the map (I think).
I can't believe anyone said the game was easy and nothing more than a tech demo.
The platinum and gold challenges were pretty difficult, and getting even close to full stars on most challenges, let alone full marks, will take ages. 6 hours so far, on platinum, haven't even touched the free flight modes yet.

I played the demo at Best Buy (my first time with a 3DS ). My time was short so I can't make good gameplay impressions but the 3D was... Weird. I haven't seen a 3D movie since the late 90s (T2 at Universal) but I know it wasn't this blurry. I got the slider to a decent point (I do feel the slider itself is too loose) where I could see the 3D. The problem was that it didn't come naturally. I had to focus on the background a little to see the depth. The image didn't comeplely come together even then.
I guess those goes into the bad first impression, but I did see the 3D so it kinda doesn't. However I am willing to bet this is due to not being used to it.

Is this one of those games that's only good to showcase the hardware, but is completely forgettable.

The game gets a solid 8/10 from me. It's pretty impressive how much variety Monster Games have managed to inject into the missions, genuinely taking the series forward. I don't get how IGN found the game repetitive. It handles beautifully too and has some great music...
I think one of the reasons why the game seems so short is that it's much more forgiving than the original two games. Following gaming trends of today, there are checkpoints now. If you crash land you only lose 5 points and get to try again. No more endlessly starting from the beginning.
It would have been nice to have some of the characters from the original game(I'm talking about the instructors from the original, not the horrific mutants from 64). And yes, Nintendo is horribly, horribly cheap for giving us only one level (itself recycled.) I hope we can get a more full-featured sequel later this generation.

Thank you for the response. I'm guessing there is no free roam mode for the squirrel suit either?
I should just go pick this game up. It felt weird coming home with a system and no games. I even stopped by TRU and resisted the buy one get one half off sale. I'm so weak.
