All them hours I put into GTA online has led me to this moment!9 found this helpful
Skydrift 'Infinity' is the HD and local multiplayer updated version of this game. Both games have about 4 hours of single player content and half of the achievements require online play, which is dead. This game does not have local multiplayer, so if you want that, get 'Infinity'.2 found this helpful
SkyDrift is an arcade aerial racing game developed by Digital Reality and published by HandyGames that delivers a fast-paced blend of competitive racing and airborne combat. Rather than pursuing realistic flight simulation, the game embraces a highly accessible style that focuses on excitement, spectacle, and constant action. The concept is simple yet effective: race high-performance aircraft across exotic environments while collecting power-ups and using weapons to disrupt opponents. This combination creates a unique identity that separates SkyDrift from both traditional racing games and dedicated flight simulators. The game's biggest strength lies in how it merges racing and combat into a seamless experience. Players are not only concerned with maintaining the best racing line but also with defending themselves from incoming attacks and choosing the right moments to strike rivals. Missiles, machine guns, mines, and other offensive tools introduce an additional layer of strategy that keeps every race unpredictable. Even a comfortable lead can disappear in seconds if a well-placed attack lands at the wrong time. This constant tension gives races a sense of energy that rarely fades…1 found this helpful
Played this way way back on XBLA and picked it up on other platforms over the years purely because I have an enjoyment of racing and aerosports. I kinda wish there were more games out there that filled the niche. But what else can I say. It's a simple arcade game that (checks notes) is 15 years old now??? How time [i]flies[/i] (also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Manuel. my no,. 1 nemesis.)
You are the first now.
This is a great little racing game. I love that there are several paths to take on each course , and there are actual pros and cons to picking different planes instead of just looks. I am honestly surprised that there are not more arcade racers with planes out there. This should be it's own racing genre, like kart racers or anti-gravity racers. P.S. If you want to play SkyDrift, this is the version to get. SkyDrift Infinity is a broken mess disguised as a remaster/upgrade.
