Reviewed by: Jason Parker on April 06, 2009
Flight Control is an attractive, addictive game in which you play an air-traffic controller guiding an endless armada of incoming aircraft to (you hope!) safe landings at a crowded airport. Flight Control makes brilliant use of the iPhone and iPod Touch's interface, as you use your finger to trace a trajectory for each approaching craft, sending jets to the long runway, small planes to the short runway, and slow-moving helicopters to the airport's helipad. The controls are incredibly simple and intuitive, which contributes to Flight Control's surprisingly rich and devilishly addictive gameplay.
The game starts out at a leisurely pace, but as aircraft enter from every edge of the screen with increasing frequency, the sky quickly becomes filled with aircraft, all traveling at different speeds with overlapping trajectories. We would love to see even more improvements (possibly more maps, and maybe some way to skip past the slower start of each game), but overall Flight Control is an exceptionally entertaining and satisfying game.

Version: Flight Control 1.0
"Incredibly additcting, simply and fun game!"
Pros: What a great game!
Cons: More visually stimulating courses could be added, but this is just wish list - the game is fine as is.
Summary: It takes about 10 seconds to figure out how to play Flight Control, but it's impossible to put it down once you start. You just have to play to see how addicting it is. Once the game gets going, it can get crazy quickly if you don't pay attention.... read more >>
