variety comes from NBA Live Mobile Coins

Most of the variety comes from NBA Live Mobile Coins Resort's five tiers of objective-based missions. In some of the more interesting levels, you'll be tasked with taking photos of specific landmarks as you sail around on the glider, shooting at balloons released by a speedboat below you, or collecting a group of wayward little UFOs and returning them to their mothership hovering offshore."Pilotwings Resort's core mechanics are solid, and work well within the context of the game's challenges.

 

The flight physics and core controls feel tight but relatively forgiving, and make a great case for the precision and usability of the Cheap NBA Live Coins new analog circle pad on the 3DS," Shoemaker praises. "I wish there were more examples of these clever objectives, but it feels like the bulk of the missions focuses on more basic activities like flying through rings, flying through rings quickly, and, uh, flying through rings upside down. ""Pilotwings Resort is a good diversion when you want to flip your

 

open and just play something for 10 minutes," Shoemaker admits. "But it's over too fast; there's just not a lot of meat to sink your teeth into. Each successive tier of missions requires you to earn a certain number of stars in the previous one before you can unlock it, but even with that requirement, I got through all of  MMOGO tiered the missions in a couple of hours."The game's attempts to add depth also fall flat. "You can unlock longer sessions, different times of  day, and a model viewer by

 

more items, but that stuff doesn't provide much lasting value since you're still flying around the same small landmass over and over," Shoemaker warns. "Then you can view your stats. Then you've seen just about all there is to see in Pilotwings Resort.""On its own merits, Pilotwings Resort offers lighthearted flight action that's fun enough while it lasts, but it just doesn't last very long," Shoemaker concludes. "Given the 3DS' relatively meager launch lineup, Pilotwings Resort is worth having in the early adopter's collection as a technical showpiece and an occasional distraction, but without a stronger Nintendo game to distract you from, the experience is fleeting."
