Pie in the Sky

Fantastic Game, loved 'Barry the Bin Chicken' and how he spoke almost gibberish.

A very solid game. Brings that old school nostalgia of playing Tony Hawks but you are a bird. The controls take some getting used to but I feel like this was done purposely to give it that retro feel, also once you do get used to it, it feel pretty smooth except for some awkward objectives. The game is short but honestly for the price point I had the perfect amount of fun. 8.5/10!

It is an acquired taste, mostly because the controls are challenging in the absence of reliable lock on on objects. Or maybe it is because I used the Retro Mode. Who knows. I probably will get used to it just like I got used to Braking in air to aim at things better and get the floating collectables. The game seems to be stylized as the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games with the combo point system (that seems to combo anything together, from eating a banana to grabbing a collectable). The whole point of the game is to be the most obnoxious bird species on the planet that is the Australian magpie and attack and poop on everyone and everything possible (you get the Paint Job trick bonus for crapping on a car). If like to explore the PS2 era places with unusual controls and like flying around, you might like this game. It is a little unpolished. I got this game from a Alienware Arena monthly Game Vault claim.
