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 flies (also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Manuel. my no,. 1 nemesis.)

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.
