    A beautifully realised flight sim for the PSP that will take a lot of practice to master.

    It's a game that will satisfy only masochists and super-skilled PSP pilots. [Nov 2006, p.87]

    Pilot Academy offers moments of great enjoyment that are unavoidably affected by both the game and the PSP's shortcomings.

    A decent spread of planes and challenges but sadly Pilot Academy's wings are clipped by a lack of personality. [Nov 2006, p.104]

    Unfortunately, the whole experience takes a nosedive when you start to play. Without the excitement of shooting down other planes, or the challenge of a regular flight sim, Pilot Academy would struggle to hold your interest on a flight to Europe.

    In fact, if, like me, you find yourself the victim of a game-breaking glitch, which requires you to hold down the SELECT button the whole time you're in the air, you'll definitely be disappointed.
