This is the second part of my capture where I display what this game is really about. This is where you will either love or hate this game because this is where the game becomes insanely difficult. Even for those who use the "rookie" copters will find this game very difficult. I have chosen in this video to punish myself by using one of the "captain" copters which are a step below the "ace" copters. I would use the ace copters accept the required score gets cranked up considerably since the ace copters are able to pull off barrel rolls loops much easier than the captain copters can and they also can exclusively perform inverted flight which can boost your score pretty fast. So they expect you to perform lots of stunts on top of completing the objective. Anyway I use the captain copters because I find the other copters below to be too stiff. However the lower level copters feature auto leveling which is a great help since leveling the copter is often task the ends up making you crash. As I said before though, people still find this game to be extremely hard if not almost impossible even with the rookie copters.

The first objective is simply to take off, fly straight, and land. By far the easiest objective to complete since there is no turning involved. Even though I still managed to screw up my first attempt by smacking the tail on the ground.

The second objective is shooting. This is obviously the one I am by far the worst at. You must get the copter steady enough to take the shot and then try to aim. Because the physics are so real in this game, you cannot stay hovering in one spot long before your copter will start to tip in random directions that you need to compensate for. After you pop all the balloons must land your copter. I could not pass it, so I moved on.

The third objective is doing as many laps and stunts in between goal posts in a football field within a certain amount of time. My first attempt was horrible. My last attempt was an absolute success. This stage doesn't require many of the subtle movements needed for shooting or just hovering. It is great fun as you hear the crowd go wild when you do good and sigh when you crash. It's also funny to think that a football stadium full of people would be there to watch you perform stunts with an R/C helicopter. Hey, I'd watch it. It's gotta be better than footbal lol.

The fourth objective is to take off, fly through a ring straight ahead and land. Since the landing pad is offset in relation to the take off pad, you must do some steering to align yourself for accuracy. Not much different than from the first objective and I managed to get this one on my first try.

The fifth objective is hovering. You have to hover STEADILY above a specified area for what seems like forever (even though it's under 10 seconds) and then land your copter. Here you really must learn to keep your thumb movements tiny and steady all at the same time. I ended up acing the objective but the gag reel shows that it took some doin'.

Lastly we have the Reel of Fail. To show how many times and ways your can F up, I made this gag reel of which shows not even a handful of times I screwed up. This is also a good display of how your trainer dogs you almost after every time you screw up or even fail to fly to a way point. Enjoy all of the copter carnage at my expense. :)

This is a stellar game. I highly recommend it for people who like competing against themselves because even if you can pass the objective, you can still shoot for the highest score. The game is actually much bigger than what I have shown. I showed some of the stunt mode in the gag reel, and there are higher levels for each objective after you unlock them by passing the lower level objectives. Pick this game up and have the most fun you've ever had totally sucking at playing a video game.
