If you care here is my review of Go! Skydiving.
First off, the game is 5 bucks. Remember that!
After a 20 min download and my lunch money for the day I was about to take to the sky. One of the first things I noticed was a warning to "make sure I read the manual". Ummm, well its a download so screw that one.
I go throught the lenghty tutoral only to find that after 15 min of thinking I'm doing great, the AI is in full command the whole time. My wife laughs at me and I feel stupid. Yet still I play.
Ok, first jump. I plan on the landing mode (you can choose formation or landing). I watch as my guy jumps from the plane and begins his freefall. Quickly I hold the L1 and R1 and whip my trusty Sixaxis around nearly knocking out my dog cold. He get pissed and walkes out of the room. I watch as my little diver friend flips and turns in the air for about 30 seconds untill I hear the warning beep. Time to deploy my chute. I choose to wait on that and watch as my little dude falls to the earth. This is until his back up chute opens and my fun is ended. Oh well. Here we go again.
After another short free fall I deploy my own chute by yanking my controler upwards at my face missing by a fraction of an inch. I have a good chute and begin my fall to earth. Oooo, Look at that water. Why cant full priced games have water that looks that good? Gracefully I tilt the controller and pull the left and right sticks (both back at the same time to slow down). Touch Down!!!!! And I'm only about 5 miles away from the target (see: Sarcastic comment).
Now the formation mode. I jump with 3 AI guys and my wife (up to 5 friends can play at the same time). Some how I manage to twist and turn my way into formation and hold L1 and R1 to grab onto the AI dudes. My wife? She is quickly floating away to join some unseen team off in the distance. We never finish the formation and you dont get to land in this mode (Bummer). I try it again and manage a few formations but it gets old quick with no landings.
I get back into the landings and open the new level option of free falling through dollar bills floating in the wind. Not that great so I stick with the landing mode. its OK and worth the 5 bucks but dont expect hours of gameplay here.
Scale on a 1-10 (10 being best)
Depth: 1
Visuals:5 (water:10)
Replay: 5
Sound: Ummm.......well its only the one song but I guess the song is cool enough so 4
Final Score: 4.5 or something
I bet I will get better in the future but as of now its worth the 5 bucks, just nothing more. Ask me all the questions you want, I'll do my best to answer them.
