Flight Control



About the game: Flight Control is a semi newly released title for download on the DSi. It was previously on various Apple devices.

The premise of the game is you are an air traffic controller and you have to guide all the air vehicles that appear on the screen to a runway or somewhere to land. If you crash the game is over.

Its a casual game that can be played in 2 min but can go for however long you can last.

Controls: You use the stylus to pick an air vehicle and then draw a line to a runway. Pretty simple and intuitive.


Graphics: Nothing special.

Sound: The sound/music of the game has a light feel to it. Like not too intense but it fits the game well.

Gameplay: The game is pretty simple. There are various levels that you choose from. Once you have chosen that level you keep playing it until you lose.

Each level takes place in some area and you have to guide the aircrafts to a runway. This is very simple and easy to start but when you get 12 aircraft on the screen at once, it can get very hectic.

The aircraft will vary from level to level and thats what makes the game interesting. The more successfull landings you pull off the higher your score. 

The only thing the game is missing is a high score list with online capabilities. It have been nice and easily added it seems. Something pretty sweet that I find nice, is you can speed up the gameplay to make it go quicker when there are only a few aircraft on the screen at once.

The game was 5 bucks which is not exactly cheap but is not too bad for how long you can potentially play the thing.

Verdict: Playworthy
