Of the new sports the one I like most is the Aerial Sports. In this one they have a simple skydiving jump that on to itself is not so interesting. As you fall you join hands with other Miis and pose for pictures. You just get points for joining u with as many others as possible. Fortunately this is not the only mode. The other one is Flying. In it you actually operate a small plane that you can fly around the resort island. At first you look for question marks scattered all over the terrain. There are 80 of them in all so you really have to explore to find them all. And it also gives you the chance to get a feel for the island. You actually see all the places you are otherwise playing the other sports at. For example you can whiz by the basketball courts or follow the cycling course from overhead. Its really a nice added sport that makes the player feel that the game world is a tangible setting.

Anyhow as you get more question marks you unlock more stuff like sunset mode and night mode. And them there is a balloon popping feature. As you fly around there are balloons that can be popped by flying in to them or shooting them with a gun mounted on the plane. This mode can also be done 2 player split screen.

I am really impressed with Aerial Sports. It is something truly unique that I was not expecting.

I guess this is the closest we're gonna get to a Pilotwings game this gen... still, great impressions KichiVerde!
