The story aspect of the game is criticized for its repetitive and simplistic mission structure, primarily revolving around point A to point B tasks that lack depth and engagement. Players find the missions tedious, often feeling like grinding for upgrades rather than meaningful gameplay, with some missions failing due to unrealistic time constraints and poor mechanics. While there are a few enjoyable elements, such as refueling planes, the overall narrative experience is marred by a lack of variety and polish.
“Purposely working on the achievement rewards makes the game more interesting, especially if you've given up on finishing missions due to impossible time limits.”
“Some things I enjoyed were the missions where an airplane needed to be refueled or recharged using a fuel truck or mobile generator, where you actually need to plug stuff in.”
“Although I can understand why, I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the mission is more about driving through checkpoints as fast as you can and not about actually guiding the airplane to its gate.”
“Everything is a point A to point B style of mission, so it's very boring.”
“It's just grinding missions for cash (for upgrading equipment so it runs faster) and experience (for unlocking new equipment).”
“Repetitive missions, poor graphics, almost never updated.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the vibrant colors and technological quality, while others find them lacking compared to earlier titles and describe them as poor or out of place. Overall, the visuals are seen as satisfactory but not enough to elevate the repetitive gameplay experience.
“I like this game; the graphics and color are amazing. It is worth it!”
“The graphics are great, technologically speaking, but it gives a disco atmosphere to the game that simply is out of place.”
“Okay, so I had high hopes given the great visuals and soundtrack of the first game.”
“Horrid to play on a laptop, but when I got a gaming PC, it was good. However, I still do not recommend this game because it is just one thing to do, and the graphics aren't like the 2014 ones.”
“The graphics aren't that good, and the sounds aren't either.”
“Repetitive missions, poor graphics, almost never updated.”

The gameplay is characterized by around 18 hours of engaging, fast-paced mechanics reminiscent of Facebook flash games and mobile apps, focusing on simple tasks that prioritize speed over graphical quality.

“About 18 hours of gameplay later...”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as missions often revolve around repetitive tasks like driving through checkpoints rather than engaging gameplay. While some appreciate the familiarity of these mechanics from other genres, the overall sentiment is that prolonged play can become monotonous, primarily serving to earn cash and experience for upgrades.
“It's just grinding missions for cash (for upgrading equipment so it runs faster) and experience (for unlocking new equipment).”
“This game is great if you have a couple of minutes to kill, but any sustained play gets tedious.”
“Although I can understand why, I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the mission is more about driving through checkpoints as fast as you can and not about actually guiding the airplane to its gate.”

“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The overall quality of the music is disappointing, as it fails to enhance the gaming experience.”
