nice game overall 15 May 2011
Fun:   
I was very impressed when I first saw this game. Actually, it had convinced me to purchase the 3ds. The graphics are excellent and the exotic scenery gives you a great mood.
Some people complained that this game is too short. I don't consider it short, since it took me about 13 hours to complete. I usually play 1 hour a day on average and almost two weeks of playing one game is enough for me. I have completed all the missions with 3 stars including the ones in the diamond class, and collected everything in Free Flight Mode. The problem is the way in which the developers tried to make the game longer. You will have to go through the same missions and struggle to get 3 stars in each of them. Sometimes you will have to repeat the same missions tens of times and this is really annoying. Another location would have been a great addition. Of course, they already had the design and the code for the Wuhu island from Wii, so it was more convenient. Furthermore, while completing the game you will reveal all the "secrets" of Wuhu Island. After completing it, the landscape will become so boring that you probably won't enjoy playing anymore.
Despite these things, you will have lots of fun with the game up to a certain point. As I have already mentioned, the graphics are amazing and so is the 3d effect. The music is also nice and relaxing. I would recommend this game, but maybe you should consider waiting until the price drops a little.

Fun:   
The Pilotwings series has always been sort of a showcase for new technology (ie the original and the SNES' mode 7, the N64 version and Nintendo's 1st 3D system) so it's no surprise this game isn't the most challenging game.

It's laid back but still entertaining and fun. The graphics are awesome and it features a lot of well used 3D. I am still amazed at how awesome it is just to fly around the island and just take in the views.

So no it's not the deepest game but it's very fun and a worthy purchase for any new 3DS owner.

Fun:   
After my initial fears of wuhu island being the only playable map became realised, my disappointment was quickly forgotten and turned to joy, true there is only a limited number of missions, but if like myself you find yourself spending hours shaving off fractions of a second on mariokart time trials you can pour many hours into this game. A clever balance is required on the rocket belt for example where to get the best score you must have a quick time and as much fuel as possible left in the tank, to go fast you burn more fuel, so you must juggle the two and find the most efficient flight path to get the best score.
Like many of the best nintendo titles it has depth for the hardcore and accessibility for the casual gamer without having to select 'veteran' difficulty and it also appeals to a large percentage of the population both in western and eastern cultures.
I'm hoping nintendo take on the western medias criticism of this game and release some more maps in the form of DLC, I understand the criticism, but I have already spent over 10 hours on this game and I still have much to learn and try out (despite completing all the missions), my hope is more for the game itself than for me as it deserves good reviews so more people can experience it.
