RC Stunt Copter review (PlayStation)

And since drinking games usually have a humorous tie-in, it only makes sense that the game is peppered with smart-alecky lines delivered from a male narrator (who, oddly enough, sometimes sounds like the hippie teacher from Beavis & Butt-Head). These lines are often funny, and they're bearable because they're not repeated too often. The sheer number of unique comments is actually very impressive. Unlike in most sports games that have "color commentary," there are so many lines in RC Stunt you can play it for hours without hearing all of them. The music is pretty sparse, but the other sound effects get the job done.

Graphically, the game is slightly above average, with a camera that does what it should most of the time - it sticks behind the copter until you get close to the stage's visual boundaries. At that point, the camera changes so that you are either facing your own ship head-on or viewing it from the side, which is very disorienting though true to the real-life experience.

Going beyond the camera's capabilities, the controls in RC are fantastic. You'll be amazed with some of the stunts you can pull off after spending a lot of time with the game. There's a lot of value in the single-player mode because the control is so good. (we're talking about the analog controller here, folks). Also, the two-player competition makes up for the fact that you're repeating the same levels with different copters. Altogether, RC is a genre-bending title that's well worth checking out.
