Sky Odyssey for PlayStation 2

Pros: Excellent mix of arcade and sim flight, mission and play mode variety, clean graphics
Cons: Graphics aren't spectacular, narrow concept, slight learning curve

Overall: 7 Gameplay: 8 Graphics: 6 Sound: 9 Concept: 7 Replay Value: 7 Sky Odyssey is an early Playstation 2 game that was overlooked at the time in favor of titles like SSX and Tekken Tag Tournament but has aged well and become something of a ...

Pros: Unique, original, super playable.
Cons: No multi-player mode.

Let's be honest- you either never heard of this game, or heard very little. And in the short list of the game's faults, that's the worst- lack of marketing.

To put it bluntly, Sky Odyssey is a fantastic game. It's a unique one, too. There...

Pros: Almost everything...
Cons: ... 'cept the graphics.

Do you ever look up at the sky and wonder? Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and been disappointed that you really weren't flying through the air? As the game informs you before your first adventure…

This game is "for...

Pros: beautiful, very realistic flight sim, incredible soundtrack
Cons: VERY steep learning curve. Be prepared to crash a lot

I love Japanese Animation. Absolutely love it. And a long time ago I saw a film called "Arcadia of my Youth" for the very first time. It moved my so deeply that words cannot express, the association of flight with freedom... it was a...

Pros: Easy to learn, yet with depth. Good for both young and old.
Cons: Flying model better than most arcade games but not truly accurate.

OVERVIEW

As a private pilot, I love to get my hands on any interesting or unusual flying games and/or simulations. Unfortunately most of the console and PC offerings fall short in either flight model fidelity or the nebulous "fun factor"....

Pros: Control, originality, excitement, sound.
Cons: Graphics

Sky Odyssey hits the extreme in every category, good and bad. I rented the game for a period of five days, and loved it. I'll probably end up buying it again one of these days just so I can try to finish it. The game is challenging, thrilling and...

Pros: Lots of modes, tons of replay value, good depth and challenge
Cons: Mediocre graphics, Occasionally frustrating

Sky Odyssey is a wonderful breath of fresh air in the sea of mediocre PS2 titles right now. It came out of nowhere to provide a spark of innovation and fresh air, but it will most likely be ignored as PS2 owners who don't know any better feed their...

Pros: Graphics, gameplay, sound
Cons: No multiplayer

I've always loved to fly...to watch planes take off and land at the airport could keep me occupied for hours. In fact, I write this as I prepare to go take a flight. Now, most likely, I won't be a pilot. The closest I can get to being one is through...

Pros: Extremely fun, lasts for as long as you want it to, realistic control
Cons: Graphics could be better, control takes time

Many people judge games on a lot of different things: some judge them on their publicity, or on their developer, or even their name. Sky Odyssey is a game that appeared out of basically nowhere. But it is easily the second, or maybe even best, game on...

Pros: A different kind of game
Cons: Levels a bit difficult, levels can be more varied

I have read several reviews of this game, and decided to give it a try. I exchanged NCAA Final Four (a terrible game) for this title with mixed feelings. I have been asking myself for a few weeks when some good games would be released for the PS2. So, I...

Pros: Fun and easy to play
Cons: Pretty difficult

Once thing which is missing a lot with PC based flight simulators is the fun factor. It gets too serious with a huge manual and tons of controls which you need a keyboard overlay to make easier. You actually feel like you are trying to learn how to fly a...

Pros: Last a lifetime, lots of fun, good graphics but not best, realistic
Cons: Graphics could be better

The game is presented well. The packaging is stylish with a picture of a plane over a train refueling. I think there could have been a better pick for an opening image, but this works well too. The manual could have used some color, but there are cool...

Pros: adventure
Cons: plane choices

This game is out of the stale mold. You can't look at the cover or read reviews and know what to expect, so I'll keep it simple to support this wonderful title.

If your a small airplane pilot you'd perhaps be bored but this game isn't for...

Pros: Great game play, challenging, good physics
Cons: Graphics could be better.

It's not often I get bad games. Mainly because I go on the web and read a bunch of reviews about the game before I buy it. This game is pretty good....not perfect, but pretty darn good. It's hard and I like hard games. The graphics are good, but not mind...

Pros: graphics
Cons: you can only fly solo

This game had good graphics but that's about it.
The controls are pretty easy after you get the hang of flying. The big problem with the controls is that it does not use the L3 button (the joy stick)
There are a couple of modes to play from...
