Forgot how good pilotwings really is

With the talk regarding Pilotwings for the Gamecube, I had to track down a copy of this again for the N64.

This was such an overlooked game by most of my mates, they didnt see the point and didnt give it any time.

I love the way you can quite happily do the tasks over and over again, without getting tired of them, just trying to beat your own score or get a medal to move onto the next goal.

Never do you get frustrated with the game only yourself, wich keeps you going back for more.

A class title on the snes and even better on the N64, if you havent played it buy it, and if you have dig it out again

its just one of the best eh?

I loved the SNES version and the N64 was just as good, lets hope the cube version is as good gameplay wise as the other 2 and not just graphically better.

Cant wait!

One of the best on the n64 without a doubt.

Like gizlaroc was saying you could just re-do levels over and over again without it getting boring. I loved the camera section - had never seen anything like that before...

I played about 7 or 8 n64 games through to completion when they first came out, and PilotWings was always my second favourite after Mario64.

Great game!

I got Pilot Wings and Mario 64 when the jap n64 was launched and I am still playing them both now.

If only mario sunshine was like Mario 64, shame it missed the mark

I had pilot wings on the famicon, but never got it on the N64. May have to source myself a copy.

track it down mate, look in the free ads as there are always some in there.

I take back everything I said about it being a relaxing experience, level 4 jet pack is getting the better of me, it was never this hard before, or maybe I am getting sh|te at games
