PREVIEW: -
RC Stunt Copter is, as you would imagine, a game which basically involves you pulling stunts with your Radio Controlled (RC) helicopter. As far as I can see, this is a completely unique type of game, and looks to be a lot of fun. Created by Shiny Entertainment, and developed exclusively for the Sony Playstation, this is actually the first game that has been specifically designed to use Sony's Dual Shock pad, with its analogue controls. The reason for this, is that RC Stunt Copter actually offers you 6 degrees of movement. This is quite a lot to get your head around, considering that driving games only have 2.
The game has been designed to teach you to use these 6 degrees of freedom though, as it has a training system, that is set in a relatively easy practice area.
In the actual game, you will have to go around 3D aerial tracks, almost like assault courses You will get simple tasks, such as 'pick up this' and 'destroy that' and 'go through that'. This looks to be a very fun and unique experience. I mean what other game allows you to hurtle around a cave, or field, dodging through things while trying to pick up a burger or something? And on the subject of stunts, not only must you complete your tasks, you must do so doing loads of death defying stunts, or you will lose. The commentator will actually react to how you play, and if you don't live dangerously, you will be subjected to a hurl of sarcasm and abuse.
With music by Tommy Tallarico, and several different modes of flying (training, free flight, competition, mission and arcade) We can't see how this game will fail to appeal to gamers everywhere. Full review as soon as we get it. Keep your eyes peeled.
