AR: Flying games can be a lot of fun. These types of games can vary quite a bit in the skill level required, controls used, graphics and overall goal. Panic Flight has a fun take on piloting a plane. The goal of the game is to get to the destination as quickly as possible. When in flight, the most direct route is not what’s required.
Pocket Gamer: We're often told that it's the journey that matters, not the destination. In the majority of cases, the people pushing this line are either selling cruises or self-help novels, but that doesn't mean you should discount the phrase altogether.
Indeed, AMA's plane-centric Panic Flight is all about the journey. It would be easy to criticise the endless-flyer's lack of direction, because it's basically just a procession of power-ups and craft upgrades with no real endgame to speak of.
Pocket Gamer: The closest you'll ever get to actual panic in this freemium game is when you finally admit defeat, buy the £2.99 Booster Pack to unlock the remaining content, and then realise you need to start from scratch to actually use it.
Having to grind through the game a second time - and re-complete any missions you'd already nailed - is like discovering the flight tax clause buried in your cheap holiday flight bill.
