  • Summary: Freaky Flyers takes you into the air for fast-and-furious racing with an interesting cast of animated characters. You'll either play as or encounter more than a dozen characters including an American hero, a female bandit from south of the border, and a mellow ambassador of tropical paradise. Explore, adventure, and dogfight in the skies over Danger Island, Haunted Transylvania, and Roaring Chicago. Pirates, haunted castles, and mob bosses all lie ahead of you--are you skilled enough to overcome these dangers?… Expand

    Giving the characters stories within the game not only lends them more life than most racing game characters, it gives players a good reason to keep going until you've seen them all.

    There are only 12 tracks, but they're all fun, and there are quite a few hidden extras to keep you coming back for more. Most important is the first-time experience though, and I am very pleased to say that it is a blast.

    Surprisingly entertaining. It's comical, smart, and deeper than we imagined.

    You are required to do a lot more than just race if you want to win (e.g., turbos have to be opened up and additional power-up slots have to be earned). There is more to this game than just memorizing the shortest route (which in many cases is not the fastest). I'm also very appreciative of the fact that they didn't include any cheap power-ups that are only available to racers in last place (things like the gold mushroom or lightning bolt of Mario Kart 64). In most cases, the winner will be the best flier/shooter. The music and narration are corny and comical (good, light-hearted humor). Even though it took 2 GameCube disks for this one, my only complaint would be that I want more. I've been waiting for this one since Diddy Kong Racing! I was going to rate it a 9, but considering the fact that I haven't seen a decent Kart-style racer in so many years and this one manages to keep all that I love about the genre and yet add a unique twist to the battle aspect of it, I upped it to a 10.… Expand
