What players say
This is a great little racing game. I love that there are several paths to take on each course , and there are actual pros and cons to picking different planes instead of just looks. I am honestly surprised that there are not more arcade racers with planes out there. This should be it's own racing genre, like kart racers or anti-gravity racers. P.S. If you want to play SkyDrift, this is the version to get. SkyDrift...
1 more review, not recommended
Had this on the backlog for years, not sure why I bought it, it must have been dirt cheap or part of a bundle. Had to do some 1337 hacker stuff to get it to run at 60FPS. It's a fun game but there really only are three stages and the controls feel a but too unresponsive which makes it quite frustrating. Anyway, at least I played it, it was fun, would not recommend adding this to your backlog there are a lot better...
