Just Plane Fun
I love time management games, and this one is superlative. First of all, it's cute. The planes are cute, and if you handle them in good time, they leave the airport all happy. The graphics are good and very clear. And the game is challenging.
You have to manage planes. They land, unload, load passengers, and leave. Ah, but things are not so simple. Some planes need gas. Some need repairs. Different types of planes unload and load faster or slower. Some planes are more patient than others. You get extra points for having planes of the same color use the same Jetway, but sometimes you have more colors than Jetways. You get points for having planes take off or land sequentially, but sometimes your runways are fogged up or iced over. Sometimes planes arrive simultaneously and must wait to land; will you show a movie to make them more patient? Sometimes planes must wait for a free Jetway; will you offer a snack to make them patient then?
As the game goes on, it gets more and more complicated. Fortunately you earn money for each successful action, and you can use that money to upgrade, which makes things a bit easier. With lots of side games (can you run a full series of levels without buying an upgrade, can you keep a background item on the screen during a level) for trophies, this game never gets dull.
I rated the sound "liked it," since I don't use sound during the games.
Reflexive, how about Second Flight? |

Refreshing but Original
Upon receiving an email about this game from reflexive, i thought, its another diner dash game... boring!!! But i thought it could be different so i gave it a go.
This game is excellent, it has the same point and click base that diner dash has but there is no character to control. You control the planes from when they fly into your airports air space till they take off with a full load of passengers.
The game is very in depth and really makes you think. It also has an option to spend your earned cash to buy upgrades at the begininning of each level.
There are 8 airports in total, im only up to the 3rd and i have decided that its a game worth buying for everyone.
The music is good, and blends very well with the game. Graphics are very well suited to this game and the plane animations are very amusing, the planes occasionally whistle the games theme song. The planes also have faces along with a happiness bar, the faces can tell you how happy the planes are with the service. And last of all the gameplay, best game of this type i have played in a very long time... Well done reflexive and south wind games. 5 Stars!!! |

Simply Addictive!
It looks like a kid's game, but once you start you can't stop. Extremely addictive and very challenging. It really tests your memory skills in order to remember the order in which you are giving direction to aircraft to land, gate, repair, fuel, load and takeoff. Very clever and fun! |

Fasten your seatbelts, we're taking off!
Reflexive's new game, Airport Mania: First Flight, made in collaboration with South Wind Games, is finally here. It's a click management game, but still a rather refreshing one. It's not a game about serving in-flight meals, or anything like it. In this one, you actually control the planes. That's right, there is no single character to control here, instead you get to control all the planes as you please. But don't worry, it's simpler than it sounds, and a lot of fun.
Playing the game is really simple and intuitive. As planes fly above your airport, you must make them land, unload, load, and takeoff. As usual, you can expect more interactions as you progress, like the need to do some painting, repairing and refueling.
The graphics may look like too simple from some screenshots, but they're not, and they shine in motion. The graphics have this happy, cartoony feel, and all the airplanes have big eyes to show their emotion, with fluid and smooth animations. Also, keep an eye on the backgrounds, as they usually have hidden easter eggs.
One rather notable aspect of the game is the difficulty. It won’t leave you stressed out, and there are always challenges for those who want it. Also worth mentioning is the Awards Room, full of badges and trophies for you to achieve. And then there's the brilliant Paper Plane mode, unlocked when you finish the game for the first time.
Overall, Airport Mania is fresh, addictive, simple, and fun. It takes the click management genre, improves it, expands upon it, and still manages to be entertaining and relaxing. There's something about this game, maybe the cute planes, or maybe the tunes that the planes whistle, that really puts a smile on your face. The whole game, from the graphics, to the sounds, music and gameplay have this happy and pleasant feeling. It's the best click management I've ever played. Don't hesitate on playing it. Have a nice flight! |
