Digital Reality clearly poured a lot of effort into crafting each course: The environment details and designs are superb, supported by a good mixture of appropriate musical tracks. You fly through jungle ruins, careen over molten lava, slip past narrow rocky slits, and knife through valleys with a grace that is exceedingly rare for an arcade racer. The six unique tracks (and their reverse counterparts) are well designed; some minor jagged edges and visual rough spots crop up on occasion, but the real danger is the landscapes\' overall look -- get too distracted ogling the pretty sights, and you just might need to prep for a crash-landing.

Closing Comments

All told, SkyDrift is a pleasant surprise and an impressive feat from Digital Reality. Something is just beautifully chaotic about the savagery of nailing other planes amidst serene-looking landscapes. This is a fun, arcade-style racer that offers surprising depth and rewards smart play. If you\'re a fan of racing games or picking other planes out of the sky, SkyDrift is definitely worth checking out.
