Pocket Gamer: Paper Planes Hands-On

The thing about games is, they're not just collections of objects in boxes or sets of rules written down. As anybody who has ever tried to throw a ball of paper into a bin in the presence of a man has discovered, a game can emerge from nowhere, rapidly develop into a strictly stewarded competition on which life and death rests, and then disappear again afterwards, as though it were merely an interesting belch.

Rovio's Paper Planes is the video game equivalent of one of these games. In it, you have to make paper aeroplanes that fly in a range of different ways, doing loop-the-loops, gliding over long distances, and curving up to a pointed apex before dipping and curving back down to earth.
