Review Face Pilot: Fly With Your Nintendo DSi Camera! (DSiWare)

Soar spot
The 3DS will introduce a motion sensor to the machine's line-up of inputs, but the humble DSi has already been home to a few motion-detecting titles, with Face Pilot: Fly With Your Nintendo DSi Camera! the latest – and longest-named – of the lot. You've likely already surmised what to do, but here's a quick description. You play a...

Nintendo Download 27th & 28th July 2010 (Japan)

WiiWare and VC releases and four new DSiWare titles next week for Japan.
It's been awhile since we've seen any new WiiWare in Japan, though the drought is only being broken by a single title from Nintendo. The weekly Virtual Console parade is also continuing and the DSi has its usual mix of education and entertainment apps to choose from. WiiWare:...

Nintendo serves up a certain ace
It's the week of E3, and what better way to celebrate than by finally releasing another N64 Virtual Console game? And an extremely well-liked one, at that? WiiWare gets one great and one good game as well, but DSiWare seems fairly uninteresting this time. WiiWare: Ant Nation (700pts - Konami) -- A simulation title...

Soar through the sky, from the comfort of your sofa, with the innovative gliding game Face Pilot!

Face Pilot not only puts your face into the game with the Nintendo DSi camera, it also tracks your head's movements giving you complete control of your glider. Simply tilt your head sideways to steer left and right, back to climb, and forwards to dive.

There are three different types of gameplay: burst all the balloons to reach the goal, throw balls at targets for a high score, and try for a fast time in the high speed challenge. Also, look out for hidden medals which help unlock new courses and even new gliders!

Face Pilot is a truly unique game that wouldn't be possible without Nintendo DSi. The only thing missing is the wind in your hair!

Wow, reminds me of the Hangglider in Pilotwings 64.

It's actually very decent. The handheld play works a lot better than the table top play, and while it's not perfect, under the right conditions it does a very good job. There's also a nice sense of progression, with a very Mario 64 esque way of doing things (a few different objectives for each level, completing enough unlocks another level). Overall, better than I thought.
Also I'm pretty sure the Island level is a very basic
representation of Wuhu island, which I think is awesome.

Screenshots look nice enough, but I wondering if this title is worth 500 np's. So they couldnt come up with a better subtitle then that? Strange, imho.

There's a lot of content, so I'd say if you like the game it's definitely worth it. And it's certainly a very enjoyable game when played under the right conditions, which thankfully seem to be easier to find than other DSi camera games.
