  1. The biggest flaw that I experienced while playing was the simple matter of the gameplay, as no matter how fast you go or how well you fly, a great deal of winning the race simply rests in picking the faster aircraft and getting fairly lucky.
  2. A wonderfully freaky good time with plenty of high-flying action and humor, although the game does feel a bit incomplete in a lot of places.

    Surprisingly entertaining. It's comical, smart, and deeper than we imagined.
  4. An equally wide variety of poor decisions leave Freaky Flyers as "average", "uninspired", "frustrating", and "not worth the trouble".
  5. A fun game, but fans of this type of game might be best to either break out their dusty Super NESes or N64s and play one of the Mario Kart titles ... or wait until "Mario Kart: Double Dash!" comes out for GameCube.
  6. The game does have its moments, but the racing simply isn't very exciting.
  7. 60
    It's not a bad game at all, it just feels rather uninspired.

    Midway tried really hard to inject humor into the characters and cutscenes, but as is often the case in games, it comes up short. If there aren't developers who can be funny, I suggest companies hire somone who can. [Aug 2003, p.98]
  9. Both the humor and the flight mechanics are poorly implemented, and that provides too much of an obstacle to the success of the game.

    Stick with a two-night rental here folks, because you won't be getting airsick from the intense reality and high speed action... but because the game is incomplete and yucky.

    A somewhat competent, but ultimately flawed game that boasts interesting ideas, yet fails to master any of them.
  12. While the concept is good and the presentation is at times outstanding, the core gameplay isn't strong enough to separate it from the swarms of mediocre kart racers that have come before it.
