The sense of progression was surprisingly pretty steady in making you feel like you were always working toward some part for your copter or an entirely new one.Įveryone talks about the "gay parade" easter egg but the game was chock full of weird shit. and each of the new copters really did feel like totally new, significantly different copters. You used that cash to buy better copters that handled considerably better, took up more passengers, had higher-capacity water tanks, etc. You'd do missions within missions, juggling several at a time, while the timers for failing missions and cash/point penalties quickly accruing in the later levels. You'd smash you copter into a reckless driver (hilariously the fastest way to get them to stop is to crash their car) in between re-filling your water tank at the lake and using said water to put out a fire. So you would pick up a passenger for transport on your way to transporting ill people to the hospital. The genius in the mini-mission design is that it frequently involved two steps: picking something up and dropping something off. Later levels consisted of this careful balance of controlled chaos as you strung together various missions.

That freeform style of play could be just the thing for some players, but I found it to be just the wrong side of obtuse to engage.īeing Will's second game after the original SimCity, you can't fault the guy for lack of ambition. the 90s), there's a distinct lack of direction. Even the selection of scenarios set on Mars, Venus or present-day Earth (ie. As a result, this feels like more of a sandbox than a game with a purpose. You simply keep the planet happy until it is not. These are what you have to pay attention to in order to succeed, but as far as I can tell there is no way to 'win' the game. You can control natural disasters, place lifeforms and different terrain which all change the stats. Hey, nobody said the job was going to be easy.
