Gameplay

Sky Diving relies on the DualShock 3's Sixaxis motion controls. The player free falls by tilting the controller, with additional stunts also using motion sensing. There are two main modes; Formation and Landing. Formation has the player and a team of three other skydivers (either other players online or computer controlled) perform different stunt setups.

In Landing, the player must make a perfect landing on a designated target. A third mode, Extreme, is unlocked when the player earns the S license for the Landing mode. There, the player is tasked with collecting money while free falling. The game features a global ranking system for the Formation and Landing modes.

Reception

The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Lack of content and the motion controls being over-sensitive were common points of criticism for the game. GamePro said of the game, "Throw in some very uneven game presentation - nice graphics, poor instruction manual and plug-your-ears-annoying soundtrack - and gamers are presented with a title that not even the in-game appearance of Wesley Snipes could make appealing."
