marketplace.comNow anyone with a PlayStation can dive into the hobby of radio-controlled helicopter flying without the enormous financial cost or the risk of crashing as you learn to fly. R/C Stunt Copter believe it or not is an absolutely enthralling and entertaining game.Wisely the game integrates a training mode as a must-play starter course before advancing to the mission-based aerial challenges. However dont expect to snooze your way through the missions: the dynamic vocal host spouts out plenty of snide and witty remarks to keep gamers on their toes. Also excellent carnival-like music accompanies each bit of the game including menu screens training levels and various gaming segments. Extremely touchy controls emulate the real thing while the game provides words of encouragement to help you master dangerous stunts such as loops rolls and even inverted flight. With rich gameplay and helpful flying tips this game achieves the rare feat of teaching while it entertains. A must-own! --Jeff YoungPros:Outstanding presentation makes for a mix of learning and fun Superb physics model and controls give the feeling of really controlling a tiny copter Extremely challenging levels will keep players coming back for moreCons:The concentration required may be too frustrating for younger playersReviewShinys RC Stunt Copter is an inexpensive alternative to the particularly pricey and incredibly fragile device known as the radio-controlled copter. The learning curve for controlling both the real-life and virtual copters is very steep but the latter provides an endless supply of replacements at no additional cost as well as an extended tutorial. Your instruction begins with ten stages where you learn how to land your copter sharp shoot and other basic functions all of which youll learn on a ship with training skids that keep you from crashing. The playter you do in the training levels the more copters you open up for the single-player game. The rookie copter is the machine you use during the training levels (complete with an auto leveling function). The next levels pilot ship doesnt have the auto level but does have the training skids and the captain class doesnt have the training skids or the auto level. The ace has the stunt-ride feature which enables you to fly the copter upside down. The single-player game comprises six levels made up of five stages each. The stages test your sReduces in the areas of hovering shooting landing slalom and targeting (playing through structures) with each consecutive stage being more difficult than the last. For instance the slalom stage in the first level requires you to fly back and forth through two goal posts in a football field while in a later slalom challenge you must navigate above or below a series of hurdles. Likewise in an earlier landing stage youll have to set down on three consecutive landing pads. Eventually youll have to accomplish this while the pads are moving. Playing through using the rookie copter will prepare you well to fly pilot class while the captain class (in which you must perform complex stunts as well as fulfill each stages general requirements) will take some time to master and the ace class even more. So the single-player game is essentially one long training experience for flying this impossibly delicate machine. In the two-player mode you and your opponents face the same challenges of the single-player game. In a nice break from the norm the noncompeting player can try to make his opponent crash by placing a large polygonal hand on the screen blocking his opponents view. The extended learning curve severely limits the number of people you can get to play against you in this mode but once a few are prepped and up to speed RC Stunt Copter is one of the best drinking games since Virgin Interactives never-released fighter Thrill Reduce. And since drinking games usually have a humorous tie-in it only makes sense that the game is Show more
