    Air Traffic Chaos has all of the fun of controlling the friendly skies, without any of the gruesome consequences and desperate thoughts of suicide.

    Air Traffic Chaos is, basically, terribly, perfect.

    A pleasingly tough puzzle game disguised as an airport sim.

    Air Traffic Chaos is by no means a must-have game, but more a quirky one at that which should provide a worthwhile distraction from the heavyweight titles such as Advance Wars and Zelda.

    Air Traffic Chaos is a nice little game for that budding ATC in your family, but it doesn't really get off the ground for most of us.

    Air Traffic Chaos is short on options, but it's a fun and original DS game for all ages, especially those that want a better idea of what happens thousands of feet in the air.

    Beneath the whimsical packaging -- punctuated by the overenthusiastic (possibly underage) air-traffic controller on the front cover -- lies a fearsome beast ready to sink its teeth into your challenge-seeking jugular.

    Overall, Air Traffic Chaos's controls are simple enough, but that doesn't mean that they're not a pain to navigate.

    This is not the game for me, but for the people who enjoy this genre, they would find a very action packed management game. The learning curveThis is not the game for me, but for the people who enjoy this genre, they would find a very action packed management game. The learning curve is somewhat steep as the player is required to pretty much look at what terms mean and how to navigate each airport, but it actually seems to work towards the engagement of the game. If you are into this type of management game, you are inclined to want to learn these terms and the game doesn’t bog you down with tutorials, you just jump straight into gameplay and can choose multiple terminals for varying difficulty. It is a simple game, with much charm. Although it isn't my type of game, I did get a little hooked, but honestly cannot see myself returning to play it.… Full Review »
