First off, outside of drinking, Kid Adventures: Sky Captain is a very pleasant Wii game to play. Imagine a motion-enabled casual flight/exploration game that gives you a warm and fuzzy Pilotwings feeling, with cute graphics and very tight control. That’s what this $20 flying fantasy is. With a name like Kid Adventures, I’m sure you’re not anticipating much, but it is a pretty relaxing and enjoyable game.
That said, a less than savory press member (Rey) suggested that Sky Captain would make an excellent drinking game. I protested as I thought the game was very charming and innocent. But the more I played it, the more the drinking game aspect made sense. And then the real drinking started, and it all came together.
You’d have to play the game for yourself to fully appreciate how well it would work as a drinking game, but imagine a freely explorable world where you’ll fly through loops and past and under obstacles to finish easy goals. Complete a goal? That’s a drink. Made it through a hoop? That’s a drink. Or, if I’m playing, when you hit walls, make that the drink point.
Up until I showed up, D3 had yet to show anyone the final car you can unlock in the game, the UFO. I demanded that the UFO be shown, so they unlocked it, and that’s really when the drinking made sense. Once you have the UFO, you can abduct cows. Seriously. Suck up cow, take a drink. In other missions, you’ll fly around in your craft and take pictures of objects or animals. One has you chasing a bird. If the bird gets away, take a drink. While we didn’t fully organize the rules, people were drinking and it made perfect sense. Some how it was even more funny when we found you could fly in a first-person view. Laugh, barf.
