Game Idea #5 : Acrobatic airplane battles

Game Idea #5 : Acrobatic airplane battles
-------------------------------------------

High Concept:
In this game you control an airplane and you need to do some acrobatics with it and beat the score of your opponent (online or same screen). You'll be able to get some score based on the different types of acrobatics you are doing (loops, free falls, etc...), the difficulty of the acrobatics, and the closenest to obstacles you get to. The game will be a versus game and your highscore on every level will be displayed on a highscore board for everyone to see.

Platform:
XBLA, PSN


Why it needs to be made:
I used to play Triple Action on the Intellivision system with my cousin and we weren't playing the real shooting the opponent aircraft, but we were just doing acrobatics and trying not to crash on the ground or on each other. We had so much fun every time, but that wasn't the real goal of the game. Playing an acrobatic aircraft will be thrilling, fun and really different than ordinary airplane simulators where you need to get from point A to point B ...

Description:
This game should be a 2D side scrolling game that includes some 3D obstacles to increase the level of difficulty and increase scoring opportunities. Every level will have a different realistic 2D background from different cities or areas such as jungles where we could have different type of flying experience. Online play and versus on the same screen will be the major aspect of the game where you'll need to score points based on your acrobatics as described above. You'll be able to view your score online and show everyone your best acrobatic moment which should be able to be saved and sent online for everyone to see. The fact that your opponent on-screen can potentially stop you from getting highscore by crashing into you is another danger of the game.
We could have different airplanes or helicopters that would behave differently and hence offer a different experience for players who have become accustomed to other aircrafts.

Final thoughts:
This would be a great 1vs1 game in which players would control for one of the first time an airplane where the goal is to do crazy stuff with. Playing a game to show off skills is usually something players are proud of and this game will offer just that to everyone who can master the art of acrobatic airshows!
