Editorial Review

Now 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, don't 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 Young

Pros:

• 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 more

Cons:

• The concentration required may be too frustrating for younger players

4.0 out of 5 stars Very hard, yet fun and addicting, November 16, 1999

This review is from: R/C Stunt Copter (Video Game)

This game has one of the steepest learning curves to ever meet the Playstation. It is unbelieveably realistic and can be a very fun game if you have the skills for it. The training mode is very helpful and must be used in order to play the game. RC Stunt Copter may cause frustration at first, but given time, can be a very fun and realistic simulation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great surprise!, March 8, 2000

This review is from: R/C Stunt Copter (Video Game)

This game really surprised me in a couple of ways.

I kept hearing it was really hard and frustrating, but I just went through the training first, and it helped me get my skills up high enough to manage just fine. Then I slowly made my way up to harder and harder copters. Great sense of progression!

Something I didn't expect at all was the humor. There is a voice giving surprisingly intelligent feedback to just about everything you do, and he's really funny. And there's a 'virtual' hand you can throw up to block the screen when you're playing against someone else in the 2-player mode.

And the whole time you're learning to fly a real r/c helicopter! I've never flown one myself, but now that I can manage the Ace copter in this game, I can't wait to give it a try with a real one, and maybe even buy one myself if I can afford it.

Very unique...a great breath of fresh air!

5.0 out of 5 stars The toy I always wanted!, January 4, 2000

This review is from: R/C Stunt Copter (Video Game)

I cannot believe how cool this is! It's a Remote Control Helicopter Simulator. I have been begging to get a real r/c helicopter, but they cost a fortune.

I had no idea that you could learn to fly one using your Playstation. It's tough, but after taking the lessons I was doing tricks all over the place.

This is easily the most original game I have ever played, and when I finally can afford the real thing, I am going to have saved a fortune in crashes.

I very highly recommend this if you are a decent gamer.
