Summary

From the Arcade, this game from Midway offers a challenge even to the most skilled gamers out there. You ride an ostrich and do ballte with evil ostrich riders. You have flap using the A button to gain height, in order to bounce on the evil riders' heads to dismount them, then pick up the egg that falls, otherwise a more evil opponent comes in to play. Also causing trouble are Pterodactyls, which are very hard to defeat unless you come from the right angle (i.e. get very lucky). As the game progresses, the enemies move faster and there are more of them, making the achievement "Reach Wave 100" an almost impossible task, though it has been done. Co-Op is also on offer, either over Xbox Live or on the same TV. You have to be careful not to accidently dismount your team mate, as they wil lose a life as if the CPU had done it, which can be funny or frustrating, depending on what type of gamer you are.
