Review: There is something very Judge Dredd about Sky Fighter: Training Day and it really shows. The idea is you fly around a futuristic city learning to become a Sky Fighter and qualify from the academy. With simple head movements to navigate and tap to shoot you soon learn what to do.
After the lengthy introduction and training session, you are well on your way to discovering what to do. Flying around the city, while you can only go forward is pretty fun. The busy flying car traffic is the best bit with some slow paced, but fine movement needed.
At the end of the day, you are free to try this app (for the first training and level 1 only) then you have to pay for them, but it is worth a download and maybe also buying the other levels. It looks great, isn’t too fast and nauseating and can be a lot of fun if you get into it. Give it a try yourself, get to the part where you are dodging futuristic traffic and you will soon be enjoying it and feeling the immersion.
