Pilotwings Resort Review

So today I'll be looking at Pilotwings Resort. You'll start off by making a character card by choosing a mii then naming and signing your card. Then you get to try out all 3 of the flying vehicles, The Rocket Belt, The Plane, and The Hang Glider. The Rocket Belt is like a jet pack that lets you fly upward, but has limited gas. The Plane keeps a constant speed and it has a boost that will give you a limited speed boost. The Hang Glider is my favorite. It's totally the most fun to use because it take real skill to dive down and then hit the upward drafts to get you altitude higher. Then you can choose from 5 classes. The training class is open at first and you need to get a good score on most of the level (or missions) to get to the next class and you keep going. The missions are just as innovative as in Pilotwings 64. In one level you'll be flying from the top of Wuhu Island to the beach in just a few seconds on the hang glider than on another level you'll be flying the plane carrying water to put out fires. The variety never ends. At the point of writing this review I've made it all the way to the final class which is pretty difficult. After every level you'll be rated from no stars to 3 stars. It's very hard to get 3 stars on every mission in the game so good luck with that. The only class I can get all 3 stars on is the Training class, which is too easy. Next you have the Free flight mode which lets you fly all over Wuhu island to your hearts content. The only problem I have with that is the fact that your timed while doing it so you won't have much time unless you unlock it from playing a lot of Free Flight. The graphics are beautiful in this game. The 3-D in this game is kinda distracting so I don't use it too much but it works wonders. You could be lying in bed and actually feel your flying over Wuhu island. Also they have a place where you can see what you unlocked from all the collectables you find in free flight. This game is addicting and you will find hours of your time flying over wuhu. This game is a must buy for anyone who has a 3DS. Enjoy flying for hours on end.

  1. Hi all,

    Nice blog! Pilotwings resort feels like little more than a beefy tech demo to showcase the system's glasses-free 3D is probably a moot point. Thanks a lot...
