An extremely addictive though limited game.

User Rating: 7.5 | Airport Mania: Non-Stop Flights DS

Gameplay: You might have played Diner Dash at least once. It's a very popular game, and there are many games that try to copy it, including Airport Mania Non-Stop Flights. The game's basically about planes. You're the manager (sort of) of an airport and basically what you do is receive planes, and guide them through your airport, without making them wait too much, because they'll get mad otherwise. Planes have different, needs, from refueling to leaving passengers, so you'll have to see what they need and then guide them to the "station" that gives that. The game is pretty simple, but addictive. You click a plane with the stylus and then click where it must go. It's as easy as that. The game at first is pretty simple, but later gets hard to manage.
Planes are different colored, and similar to diner dash, if you guide many planes of the same color through the same station, you get a bonus.
Also, there's a shop, where you can buy improvements for your airport, but it doesn't really affect gameplay much, considering how your upgrades are erased after each game.
The only bad thing about the gameplay, is that the game has no actual goals. All you have to do is endlessly play the game until you lose, aiming for a high score. It's not something I personally like, but surprisingly, it works for a game this simple, and since the game is only 2 dollars, it doesn't feel like a waste, but like a little entertainment for short bursts, like when you're on a line or on the bus.
7/10


Presentation: The sound is really nice and pleasant, though not memorable. It's very calm.
The graphics are cartoonish sprites, and they fit the game well. Sometimes you'll see a plane get mad and he'll make a mad face, and there are many variations of planes.
8/10


Replay Value: The game has little to no replay value, due to there being just one level. However, it's addictive, so some people might want to replay it for getting a high score. Unfortunately though, there's no online leaderboards, which would've been a great addition to this.
5/10


Fun: This game is very fun and addictive. It almost doesn't feel like you're playing the same over and over. The game's a lot of fun when you're waiting for something or when you feel like playing something simple.
8/10


Overall: A game this cheap is worth checking out, despite its lack of content. It's very addictive and definitely worth owning.
