Sky Gamblers Races

Ultimate air racing

- J.R. Bookwalter

World War II buffs will love the unique visuals, sound effects, and gyroscopic controls on display in Sky Gamblers Races, a cross-platform multiplaye­r aerial racing game. Packed with over 100 unique races in a variety of different environmen­ts including large canyons, high mountains, beaches, heavily forested hills, and valleys, you can compete against opponents from around the world or against friends in real-time challenges.

Prefer to fly solo? You can practice offline or drop in for a challenge against the AI-controlled version, with varying degrees of difficulty. Playing on tvOS, iOS, or macOS, you can unlock more than 90 detailed WWII plane variants, including iconic Mustang, Tomahawk, Messerschm­itt, Spitfire, and A6M Zero models.

The only potential downside is that gameplay is a bit awkward with the Siri Remote, but MFi controller­s are supported.

 ??  ?? We’re not sure just how historical­ly accurate air racing actually is, but it’s good fun all the same.
