4.0 out of 5 stars
A great party game for the whole family, November 22, 2001
Skydiving Extreme is a challenging game, and is great fun at an affordable price. It makes a great party game (for 2 players), and it's content is safe for the whole family. Skydiving Extreme plays much like a dancing rhythm game, but without requiring rhythm. You must input on-screen button combinations as quickly as possible, in order to both correctly execute stunts, and to slow your fall. Fall slower than your opponent and you will advance to the next level. As you complete levels, you progress thru progressively more advanced opponents, requiring faster reflexes and more difficult stunts. There is also an "attack" system, which really adds to the challenge. "Attack" energy builds-up as you succesfully complete stunts, and once enough energy is built up, attacks can be unleashed. Attacks force teams to input very complex button patterns or they will fall faster. Whoever falls fastest, and is forced to open their parachute first, loses. Needless to say, battles can get very heated as you are trying to input very complex button combos, while at the same time attacking or being attacked. The game is amazingly simple in its execution, and that is its beauty - it is a lot of fun, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a change, or to families looking for kid friendly games on the PS1.
