This is partly a role-playing game, but really the story is just a way of engineering different flying missions, which will take you through such things as trying to tear through a canyon at great speed to flying through underground caves.

The handling of the planes (which includes a splendid Swordfish) is fine, with all the controls well handled by the Dual Shock pad.

If there's one problem, it's that it is really tough. The first mission is far from forgiving, asking you to duck under crumbling rock faces and squeeze through eye of the needle gaps. But it is still great fun and, considering it's a single player title, it still makes a great party game as successive players hand on the joypad after coming to an ignominious end.
