    This game is the 'chill-out area' in the game nightclub, it is so peaceful, and gives a real buzz when you do well.

    Take a self-guided tour of Little America - it's not every day you get to fly an autogyro. [Jan 2004, p.189]

    A great game -- a little light on action -- but nevertheless a break-through title.

    Overall, there's not much to this game, if you can call it a game. If you're looking for a game with a point or a plot, keep looking.

    An amazingly relaxing experience- the music, the sense of flight, the changing skies and weather. I have yet to see anything match it, as even though I don't like simulators, I love flying this way. It shows just how revolutionary the N64 was, I hope more people get to try it, maybe on the Wii.… Expand

    Played this game when it came out--and still think of it to this day. Great graphics, GREAT simulation...what a great flying experience. I�39;d buy a N64 just to re-live this experience. No flying game this good has been recently released for a console or PC.… Expand

    Very strange game, the goal is to pass a series of flying tests with your pilot. There are some interesting scenarios and the music is good. Aside from that, the game gets boring very fast because of the lack of objectives in the game.… Expand
