moto89 0 #5 February 8, 2008 I've said it before I'll say it again, it looks cool but I think it would get old after about 30 minutes. There is only so much you can do in a skydiving game, I'd rather spend the money on 3 jump tickets and get 3 minutes of real freefall over 30ish minutes of virtual freefall any day. Maybe if there was a higher degree of realism it would be worth picking up, but it kinda looks like a cheesy arcadesque game to me. Wasn't the old skydiving game for PS1 (the one you always see on ebay if you search for skydiving) voted as one of the worst video games ever made? Somehow I don't think some fancy graphics are going to make it suck a whole lot less.Less talking, more flying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow I don't think some fancy graphics are going to make it suck a whole lot less. that older game was based on some lame button mashing timer system. this game is a stark contrast to that one...you have free control of body position and aerial movement in the game. it takes advantage of ps3 SIXAXIS controller scheme which has built in accelerometers. so not only do the two control sticks serve as axis controls but pivoting the controller also affects control. there's also accuracy landing and style point systems for doing bigways/swoops/freestyle-routines/etc. personally i won't judge till i rent it. but that's just me. @ freak accident: thanks for linking that, I always forget this forum doesn't do it automatically.

Travman 6 #7 February 8, 2008 It *could* be useful for memory training - learning the divepool and remembering the points on the jump. But really its just a toy, at least it will give skydiving a bit more exposure to the general community. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crashtested 0 #8 February 8, 2008 there is a reall whuffo momment on the demo, where they all seperate whilst doing a 4 way so they don't hit the cloud...... about 2 thirds of the way in.... You gotta watch those nasty clouds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reginald 0 #9 February 8, 2008 Below is a review from a wuffo friend that downloaded the game ---------------------------------------------------- "Ehh... not bad but not great. It's mildly entertaining but the motion control seems a little too direct. You tilt right, you go right. You rotate right, you rotate right. I think it would have been better to make the motions a little less connected: you tilt right, you start to go right, etc. You know, inertia and all that stuff. Maybe there are some game settings to modify that. The graphics and sound are pretty good but nothing special. I guess for 5 bucks you should not expect that much.""We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

packerboy 3 #10 February 8, 2008 You get what you pay for.. a $5 game. I had fun with it for about an hour, and I may pick it up for an hour here and there if I'm really bored and my arms are sore from playing Rock Band. I laughed the first time I went low and the AAD went off at 750 ft. The parachute control would be a lot better if it were a little more high performance. (I haven't quite figured out how to swoop yet, but there is a swoop course with some toe dragging water action. The disapointing part for me was that you do either 4 way or landing. You don't get to land after doing a 4 way, it's a different section of the game. But it IS a cheap $5 arcade kinda game. Worth $5 if you ask me, I had fun with it. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DARK 0 #11 February 9, 2008 ah cock i just sold my ps3 last week as i wasnt getting any use out of it hopefully the dz will invest on one lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluDvn222 0 #12 February 10, 2008 The biggest disappointment for me was the lack of blocks being included. I know it would have been really hard to figure out an appropriate control scheme for this, but when I saw them turning blocks in the intro movie, I was really pumped. Obviously there are a lot of things that they could have done a little better, but I was surprised by a few things aswell; like the ability to cheat on a formation. The game doesn't require you to be in perfect position to reach out your arms and lock in that grip for the point. I would definitely say it's worth the 5 bucks especially with the ability to compete in 4-way together with three other teammates online. It sounds silly, but another nice addition would be customizable canopy colors (and better jumpsuit options for that matter...cheese!!!) since skydivers are often so keen on their color combos anyways.

philh 0 #16 February 11, 2008 i really enjoyed the PS3 game. The graphics are pretty nice , the freestle movemtns are awesome and the 4 ways not bad. Best of all is landing, Im finding it quite addictive. It certainly has its flaws , especially the 6 axis control can be awkard for the 4 way but Im getting the hang of it now and have turned 15 points on a dive and unlocked th night mode. Anyone know how to do unbelievable moves? Overall this is not a great game but $5 i think its well worth it, get your whuffo freinds to give it a go and they will get what the sports about straight away, well apart from bravery point for pulling at 650 ft!

SPAWNmaster 0 #19 February 11, 2008 @ Jake: I just realized that BASE game is for PC only so I can't play. @ everyone else: Dunno if it's worth it to buy an actual PS3 for just a game! I'd much rather stick with Just Cause for the 360 (dope skydiving in that game as well!). Hollywood Video doesn't rent PS3's...anyone know if blockbuster does?

philh 0 #21 February 12, 2008 Well you also get a games machine that can do 1.8 trillion floating point calculation per second. I agree if it were just to play go sports skydiving, I wouldnt buy it either. But games llike Motorstrom, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Unchartered are well worth it.
