Game play[edit]
The game is a 3-D, free roaming game in which the player starts off at a hub world, and can choose to go into different terminals in the flight garage. The game has the style of an action/adventure game, along with elements from beat-em-ups and flight simulators. You can also choose to play as four different characters.
Plot[edit]
The game starts off in a flashback. It is 1945, and the sky is dark and stormy. A penguin in aviator style clothing is flying overhead of the USA in a Bi-Plane. He then gets a radio call saying that he needs to come in for repairs, he then get shot down, but he lives, as he pulled out his parachute. he lands, safely, but his plane is destroyed. The penguin looks up, wondering what happened. Rain starts to fall quietly and slowly.
The game switches back to present day, in a flight classroom. Four students, who are listening to their teacher very carefully, are none other than Explorer 767, Tails6000, Ninjinian, and Willy the Penguin. The class then ends, and the students wall waddle out. The four start talking about how good the class is when a seeming harmless puffle hops over. The four do not notice it, and the puffle starts to seem angry. A small microphone in his fur speaks out and says to come back to base.
The next day, the four come, and see that no one is there, and things are torn and destroyed. The four are confused, but find a note saying "Revenge is near." The four wonder what's going on. They soon decide to find out. They gear up in aviator clothing, and get into Bi-Planes and fly into adventure. What awaits them?
