Does PilotWings Reort soar above the competition?
Here's a snippet:
"It is a far cry from the earlier Pilotwings which saw birdmen, penguins, skydiving and helicopter mission along side the same core that Pilotwings Resort has, but the pace and challenge are well balanced through out to ensure there is always something to bring you back."
Some game endings are good. Most are bad. And a few just sail out of the blue. One example of an unexpected game ending is the conclusion of Pilotwings for the SNES.

Pollatsek co-founded United States based development studio Monster Games in 1996 which went onto working on Wii titles such as ExciteTruck and ExciteBike: World Rally. The studio was hired as an international partner in the development of PilotWings Resort, a launch title for Nintendo 3DS. One of Pollatsek’s hobbies included flying airplanes."
