Flight Director Android app Review

Description:

In the Flight Director Android app you will have to take your position as the air traffic controller and try to help all of these different planes so that they can land safely without colliding or crashing.  You will have to be on top of your game to get them all there safely.

Features:

• In this app you will be able to land planes in a real airport from off of Google Maps
• Draw the route that you would like the plane to follow in order to help it land safely where it needs to
• The game can be very fun and challenging as well as very addicting
• All kinds of different aircraft that you can help land including planes, helicopters, and also war machines
• Gets more challenging as you move on in the game

Conclusion:

This is a cool game management app that allows you to be in charge of airlines and make sure that the planes arrive at their destinations safely.  You will take the helm as the air traffic controller and you will have to land planes as well as different war crafts and helicopters.  The coolest part about this app is that the actual game board that you play on is based off of real maps of airports on Google maps.  You will get to see all of them from an aerial satellite view and manage the planes over the top of them.  This game is a lot like the popular Flight Control app for the iPhone with a few different twists and turns.   As you are trying to land all of these different planes and aircraft you will see how challenging the game can become.  You will have to land planes that are coming in from all different directions and at all different times.  You will have to land some planes at the same time and not have them crash into each other.  All you have to do is just draw the route that you would like the planes to go in order to help them land safely.  The main cons to this app is that there is no background music so it can get pretty dull while you are playing and also the aerial maps idea is kind of cool but it can also get pretty cheesy.

This app has been given a rating of 3.7 out of 5 stars by users that have played it and there is a free version you can download or you can get the full version for $1.99 off of the Android app market.

Flight Director Android App Review

Description:

When you were a little kid did you ever want to sit in an air traffic control tower and guide the planes in and out of the airport?  Well now you can!   With the help of Google Earth, the Flight Director app allows you to use real airport maps in order to find a safe route for the incoming planes.  It is up to you to draw a route on the map to get the planes safely home.  If you pick a bad route, or are too slow, then the planes will crash and you will be responsible!

The best part about this game is that it really feels like you are guiding planes in using a satellite system.  The use of the Google Airport Maps gives it a very realistic feel and makes you feel like you are the man in charge.  The gameplay is very challenging, and will provide hours of fun and addictive entertainment.  Getting planes to their destinations has never been so fun!

The game includes Vector Graphics and Fluid Control options and is a delight to play.  It is based off of the original Flight Control game and this spin-off takes some of the original aspects and just improves on them.  The game doesn’t use the accelerometer or have background music, but it does have some incredible sound effects and good usage of the vibration functions of the phone.

Features:

• Includes real air traffic maps from Google Earth
• Very realistic, almost as if you are bringing real aircraft home with each route you draw
• You can land planes, war machines, helicopters, and many other types of aircraft
• You will have to land multiple planes at the same time, so you will need to be quick with your fingers and your wit
• Use the touchscreen to draw your routes and safely guide planes in

Conclusion:

This game offers some pros and cons.  The pros are that it is a very fun, addicting game.  As the difficulty level increases you will find yourself frantically trying to guide multiple planes into the landing pad at the same time.  This game does a good job of giving you a good challenge while not being impossible.  The major cons are that it does not have any type of background music, and sometimes the use of the aerial maps can be a bit cheesy.

Voted 3.7 stars by Android app users and currently costs $1.99.
