Game Review (written by Tanker207) Added on: 10/01/2008
I have spent many hours playing this addictive game for any windows desktop. It is so addictive I have sometimes found myself playing long into night. The game is basically flied your glider to the end of the map (without crashing of course) and land. There are many obstacles along the way to deter you, such as birds, rocks and the annoying clouds which fog your view. Although if you can get past all of these you can get bonus points by gliding your way through the point rings.
These rings are often hard to get too but the bonuses are massive. One of those games where everything looks deceptively easy but one slip sends you crashing to the ground.
You launch your hang-glider by pressing left and right as fast as you can, then it's just up and down to try and pick up points and avoid the bird - which, impressively, look about the size of a family car compared to your glider. Concentrate on avoiding the bird but not getting a high score until you're sure you've got the hang of what's going on. Your hang-glider can climb and dive without risk of going into a stall. The key to this understands the flying behavior of the birds spot which

direction which they're heading then get the heck out of their way!
Now go fly your glider through the rocks and past the birds! Can you win? Can you avoid the birds? It’s all done to you!!! GO GO GO! I highly give this game five out of five for this addictive quick paced game.
