When you get frustrated trying to beat the missions and courses and want to try a tamer flying experience you can take on Free Flight mode, where you set the goals and the sky is yours to command. Every area you've completed in Adventure mode is available for play. Add in the variable weather and time of day settings and Free Flight lets you test your skills against every environment the game has to offer without the restriction of the clock. On top of the variety of missions is a game 3D world that is rich and detailed. Cliffs tower over you as you weave through canyons.
Waterfalls rumble with tremendous power.
Caves echo back your engine's growl as you maneuver around precarious columns. Wind, rain, and snow effect your plane's handling. Graphics Sky Odyssey has some of the best weather effects I've seen in any game. The particle effects used for rain bouncing off the aircraft are fantastic and, when flying in snowstorms, the swirling flakes will make you shiver. Clouds and lightning look life-like, adding to the game's atmosphere.
