Sky Diving (also known as Go! Sports Skydiving) is a downloadable video game on the PlayStation Store developed by Bergsala Lightweight.

Gameplay

[edit]

Sky Diving relies on the DualShock 3's Sixaxis motion controls. The player free falls by tilting the controller, with additional stunts also using motion sensing. There are two main modes; Formation and Landing. Formation has the player and a team of three other skydivers (either other players online or computer controlled) perform different stunt setups. In Landing, the player must make a perfect landing on a designated target. A third mode, Extreme, is unlocked when the player earns the S license for the Landing mode. There, the player is tasked with collecting money while free falling. The game features a global ranking system for the Formation and Landing modes.[1] Replays can be downloaded through the leaderboards for players to watch.[2]

Reception

[edit]

The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3] Lack of content and the motion controls being over-sensitive were common points of criticism for the game. GamePro said of the game, "Throw in some very uneven game presentation - nice graphics, poor instruction manual and plug-your-ears-annoying soundtrack - and gamers are presented with a title that not even the in-game appearance of Wesley Snipes could make appealing."[7][a]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ GamePro gave the game 3.5/5 for graphics, 2.5/5 for sound, and two 2/5 scores for control and fun factor.
