Freaky Flyers (Gamecube)

This fully open 3-D airplane racing adventure drops you into the cockpits of cartoony planes where you play as their cartoony pilots. There have been other cartoonish games before, but Freaky Flyers Gamecube is the first to try replicating a cartoon universe so completely from the inside out, starting with the very physics. You will explore open and interactive 3-D world environments like the lush and tropical Danger Island, the wild west of Coyote Canyon, and chaotic, exotic Arabia. A branching adventure takes the player through each character's storyline. The 13 engaging characters include Johnny Turbine (a mixed-up, wannabe movie superstar), Cactus Rose (a two-gun-slinging bandita), and Island Jack (the laid-back native and ambassador of mellow). Skill-oriented stunt flying provides the thrill of doing dangerous aerial stunts, racing modes offer easy-to-learn, hard-to-master aerial excitement, and dogfighting lets you battle other pilots for air supremacy.
