Plot: What’s it about?
The skies just got a little less friendly, as Skydrift now features two downloadable add-ons. First up is the Gladiator Multiplayer Pack, which introduces two new game modes, plus six new arenas. You can now engage your enemies in classic DeathMatch and Team DeathMatch modes, which is great news. While these modes might not be creative, they’re excellent additions and a natural fit for this game. As the names should imply, you’ll either tackle your foes as a lone wolf in DeathMatch or as part of a squadron in Team DeathMatch. The six new arenas are also impressive, as all six look just as beautiful as the ones in the core game. The maps work very well in the new modes of course, but also in the original ones. So with two awesome new game types and six gorgeous, well designed new maps, the Gladiator Multiplayer Pack will thrill fans.
The second add-on is the Extreme Fighters Pack, which allows you to take to the skies in three all new planes. You’ll now have the Vanguard, Sparrow X1, and Triwing Vintage in your arsenal. These are not just new looks either, as these planes are some of the most useful ones you’ll find. The Vanguard is especially great, as it boasts remarkable armor, but retains great control, so you’ll be tough to take down in battles. While some will complain that these new planes gives those with the DLC an advantage, the truth is that SkyDrift is about strategy, so skill will still win out in most dogfights. And the upgrades you’re given with these new fighters isn’t massive, though even a slight edge is always nice to wield. With an insanely low asking price and three wicked new planes, the Extreme Fighters Pack is well worth a look.
