  • I never had the official game, but I had a sample that came with my PS2. I had no idea how to play the game and I only put it in my PS2 to listen to the opening sequence. I LOVE IT!!

  • holy crap :O i remember this lol

  • Cinematech memories baby. I remember seeing this and the Soul Caliber kata vids :) so much love.

  • I thought this game was hard as hell, but i still loved it.

  • I found this at Gamestop for ~$6. My heart started beating so fast when I suddenly started a flashback to playing the demo of this from the OPM Demo Disc. It's so great.

  • I like the song Re-Coda from Solatorobo but this one is great to. It's my 2 fav song from a video game now! p.s. I wish I can get it now.

  • I just love this song, I remember when my friend first showed me this game I went crazy for this song but unfortunately I was unable to get it at that time, but now after all those years...song brings back lots of old memories. Simply love it. I don't understand how can someone not like this song ?_?

  • They're not even wearing googles. Hardcore!

  • 4 people have died just now

  • easily the best ps2 game i played

  • I loved this game even though I had no idea what it was based on...a manga or anime can someone plz help me with that

  • @stickks9875

    It wa an original storyline. That being said, I'm quite certain it was inspired by the anime 'Porco Rosso'. If you've not see Porco Rosso.... WATCH IT NOW!!!!!!!

  • i remember this game, i was a kid when it came out.loved playing the game even though i sucked at it.

  • took me a yr to find dis...i had the jap version

  • I still own this game, which I've purchased back in 2002. 

  • At 0:36 in the game, they never showed us who that person was D:

  • @groundon1321 or at least a remake

  • :) i want this game back i can't beilive they didn't make a 2nd one for ps3 or somthing

  • Ever since i saw this game I knew it was gonna be good and 10 years later I still find it really fun, I'm sure glad i didn't sell it :)

  • I need some translations actually.

  • I remember this game! <3

    This was the shit.

  • this game is amazing <3

  • i want this game so much T_T but its released only in Japan and North America right? T_T

  • @RichiBitch this game is almost 10 years old, I dout you can fine it anymore, I used to have it like 9 years ago, but I sell it... the biggest mistake of my life >_< this game is awesome but I was like 8-9 years when I sell it because it was hard for me back then =(

  • great flight game!

  • I remember I played this demo but I totally forgot them for 3 or 4 years ago...Dang!

  • Great game, but to be honest, they totally could have made an anime out of it. WOuld've been SO GOOD

  • I had the demo to this, my uncle gave it to us along with a whole bunch of games. In about 5th grade, I wondered what this strange looking game was. I put it in the ps2, and, really i've never played anything quite like it. After a couple of months, this game became a way of life for me, my friend and i played the demo usually at least 2 times a day. Then, for my birthday, i got the full game. The first night i got it i played it al the way through. I had blisters on my fingers. Best game ever.

  • What is the song?!? i beg of you!!!

  • @tenkenbankai Towards a Far Away Sky.

  • man love this game.had alittle money in my pocket back when this came out i was about 16.i actually bought this game based on the cover alone,loved the artwork for it.back in those days i sometimes bought games based on how the cover looked at times.LOL anyway there were no other games that seemed to interest me at that time so i bought Skygunner.and man was it awesome,one of the greatest game experiences i have ever had.sure it wasd a short game,but it is an incredible game,perfect10 all around

  • I love this song! I'm really bad at the game, though.

  • seeing this makes me regret selling my copy...

  • Epic intro but the game is really......not easy^^

  • @VanceLance25 a beautiful game can never be truly easy to beat otherwise if it was there would be no point to making it so beautful right?

  • @Elricchasers True!^^ 

  • I remember I was on the fence about getting my pilot's license when I saw this on G4tv and it pushed me to go for it.

  • @shadowgiest22 Cinematech FTW. Back when G4 was actually about gaming.

  • Fuck Sony for not releasing this in Europe.

  • I found this game for sale at my local video rental store. For 5$ ! What a steal (:

  • @123456789bleach

    lucky you.^_^ i had to pay full price because i got the game when it was first released,but it was so worth it. :D

  • Saw this on Cinematech: Nocturnal Emmisions (like everyone else) and fell in love with not only this but the show itself for introducing me to this song. I can't explain how this movie makes me feel with out being redundant but it feels so good to find this after I lost the song when I formatted me hard drive.

  • who is the singer of this song?

  • I remember seeing this on G4 (When you know it was actually ABOUT GAMES) and I loved it so much that the next time they replayed it I watched it I taped it just to watch it again and again I truely loved this.

  • @CrimsonStarProducion me too lol 

  • FUCKING SKY GUNNER! Goddamn it, why did I sell this game!?

  • 3 people have no taste.

  • I bought this game only to hear the opening after seeing it on cinematech. Good times. I can't believe they set the game up for a sequel yet 8 years later still nothing not even a teaser unless japan is holding out on us >.> I unlocked Rival by accident but I couldn't get the police chief. Should the sequel ever come out I bet my britches it will be about Rival working for Ciel's father which would clear up why Rival can't stand Ciel.

  • i love this game and thanks for the great memories

  • i can't believe i traded this game.....should have held on to it......never beat it too......

  • dude this game ROCKS and is so underrated thanks for doing somthing to show it i really wish there was a sequl (sigh) but i guess that is not happining whlie i give it a 5 out of 5 most only gave it a 3 pity isent it? what is it about the game they did not like? and does anybody know where i can buy the soundtrack?

  • One of my all-time favorite opening sequences.

  • I played this when I was still in Middle School and loved it, I only really have one question.

    are those tails? If so, why do they have tails?

  • @Isredel I beat this game twice with each character, and ONLY then was I like, "Wait... TAILS??"

  • @KefkaJr It's like the one who directed this game up and said, "Hey! You know what would make them REALLY look awesome! TAILS!! Yeah! Give'em tails! Everything's better when they all have tails!"

  • Ah. I used to rent this game from the video store all the time. It's one of those games that no matter how many other games you get, you jeeo coming back to it. Eventually the video store got rid of it (it stayed longer than any other game they had). I hadn't seen it in years, and much to my surprise, I found it at a local game store for 10 bucks. Bought it without a second thought.

  • Great song! I love it...♥

  • thay need to make a sky gunner anima

  • i fucking love this song

  • I'm the world's biggest fan, my life's biggest dream was to meet the makers of this game. It'd make my life SO complete, and i'd bribe them $1 million to make a second version of this if only I had the money.... Thank you Sky Gunner- I am living because of you- and became a HUGE flight enthusiast ever since, Sky Gunner... The biggest best thing in my entire life. I will always dream to fly, ever since I played them! I own 5 copies =) I let people borrow it, my dream is that more people love it.

  • Classic Game for its time like Kingdom Hearts

    except they got tails that are gay LOL

  • 0:50 that is a bigass zipper

  • @Zera13 Holy mother of fuck man that is huge.. holy shit... the hell does he carry that thing around?

  • I know the name of the song now

  • I love this song does anyone know the name of the song?

  • i wish this game became an anime

  • @dlwilliam I agree with that I've only seen the opening but this game truly give a expansive feel of being anime based guess it just wasn't popular enough to be recognized as anime material such a shame

  • is there a translation of this song? if so, please post a link to it. i love this song and i would LOVE to find out what their saying

  • nice game

  • ZZZZZ =__=

  • Beautiful intro, IMO.

    Game is pretty fun too, but I have hard time locking on a target I WANT to lock onto. It tends to shuffle between two targets I don't want to deal with.

    But hey, I'm glad I have a copy. Been looking for it for years, and finally got it last year for 18 bucks.

  • WTF? I've had this game for years and I never noticed that they had tails until now.

  • Omg...wow. =_= Dense lol

  • where did you get this game for 4 dollars at. i am trying to get this game. My brother has it but dont.

  • got this game yesterday for $4.totally worth it sense i am a big fan of ace combat and this is a little easier but it's a blast.

  • AW YEAH! Sky Gunner! One of my favorite game of all times!

    I still have till this very day, ever since I was introduce to it by a friend!

    Has anyone beaten the Developers records yet? I manage to do it with Ciel

  • Man! I was once looking on craiglist and found that someone was selling this game for 3 bux! game, case and booklet. I never really heard of this game but looked up on the internet and I found it interesting so, I bought it! However, I always liked Atlus' games. Until now, I haven't passed it but still playing tho. Must say one of the best purchases I have ever made!

  • HELL YEAH!! SKYGUNNER BITCHES!! I never got past the 5th stage, lol. It IS a Sony GEM, very, VERY rare to find. Great Soundtrack and the gameplay is pretty fun. ^_^

  • i was like 12 and is till remember this opening

  • ATLUS is one of the best game maker companies out there. I LOVES THEY GAMES

  • cinematech introduced me to this

  • @istandidol me too XD

  • FUCK YEAH SKYGUNNER

  • this game was and IS amazing! the storyline is so unique and its so much fun to play! why the hell was it so unpopular?? i hate it when amazing games are so underrated :(( btw what is this song called??

  • This song is called "Towards a Far Away Sky", first track on the Skygunner OST. Aside from the story and atmosphere, Skygunner certainly had a great soundtrack too.

    I still have both my demo disk as well as the game. Good times, to be sure.

  • lol dude me too. the demo was probably the only exposure this game got.

  • dude i remember getting the demo for this in 2002 at comic for free. i used to like the song so i wanted to hear the song

  • looks fuzzy as usual, but what kind of animal is this?

  • Is it just me or does the main guy look strikingly similar to Sora?

  • My thoughts exactly!

  • I only played a demo of this game back in, er, 2002 I believe. I loved the opening intro (this video). ^-^ But the gameplay was, well, maybe it just has a learning curve to it. ._.,

  • I remember the first time I ever saw this intro on Cinematech from G4 in the Summer of 2002. The beautiful music and animation brings back so many nice memories. Thank you so much for posting this up. 5 out of 5 all the way.

  • Lol, same here I also first saw this on cinematech when I was a little guy and I was blown away. I never saw tis game in stores though, is it because it's Japanese?

  • Nah, it was just kinda rare. I never saw it in stores either, but I did get to rent it. Wonderful game, really.

  • @KidMaJunior that is EXACTLY how i remember it...man *sniff sniff* bring back the old G4

  • @KidMaJunior omg thats where i first saw this too!!! i would always hope that it would be on again and again... i even rem that windwaker and chrono trigger would also be one of the vid games shown on the same episode. i fell in love with this song :)

  • @KidMaJunior Oh man I hear you there. Cinematech was DE SHIT!

    Then a couple years later G4 started castrating itself from the inside out. Getting first Star Trek, then Cops, and every other single stupid thing that had nothing to do with games.

  • rented this game many years back. found it in a store one day and flipped out and bought it.

  • Most underrated game. Ever.

    In my opinion, of course.

  • I found this game in the bargain bin at Fred Meyers a few years ago. Best $10 I've ever spent, I love this game!

  • I know where to download the music of this game^_^

  • song please? = D

  • it's at a website named Galbadia Hotel.

  • This song reminds me of late 90s anime...like ALOT!. God I wish I could go back to 1998...even though this song came out in '02...:P

  • AHHHHH!!!! I want this game so bad!!

  • Man, watching this made me nostalgia SO HARD.

    I gotta fix my PS2 so I can play this again...

  • Vulcan900

    I agree with you, watching this gives me a new feel

  • I could never find this game, and to this day, I have never even laid eyes upon it's cover. If Youtube was never created, I probably would have thought that this game was either a Myth, or a prank!

  • Gun908

    This games Cool it's, you can feel the nostalgia from this game.

  • 2002 was the year cause that was was the first time i'd heard of G4, skygunner, or of kingdom hearts. i give it a 5 0ut of 5 as well, it kinda insperational when u first see it.

  • lol i played this years ago man it was rented my dad never got it for me and i never saw it again....i still want it , havent even deleted the game yet, never passed it lol

  • i like thos song of the this is a good game tho i wish i can just find it i want it bad

  • I love this game so much. I remember the first time I saw this it was at a videogame tournament.

  • sooooo glad i bought this game when it came out!!

  • this game was hardcore

  • A good song to listen to while you're outside. It really is. Try it. You'll be amazed.

    Also, the game was awesome too.

  • One of the best ps2 games i've bought, very beautiful opening.

  • I love this game. I remember I had been looking at this game for a month or two on the shelves at nearby EB Games.

    Finally one day I had some extra money and the new copy was on sale and clearance for 24 dollars. Took it up to the counter and it was also 50% off, so I got a new copy of this game for 12 dollars. I now consider it to be one of the best deals I ever got.

    Thanks for uploading the video and at such great quality!

  • fucking great opening, brought the game because of it

  • Cool! I still have a playable demo disc of this game! I never get tired of playing it over and over again! It's too bad it is so hard to find an actual copy of this game. It's the same with Zone of the Enders 2nd runner, I have a playable demo, but have never even seen an actual copy of the game. I guess in situations like this something is better than nothing!

  • @rang3r34 sell it for sumthing =D

  • @Omega5partan Really? Cool. Thanks, but I've obtained used copies of both games due to the fact the GameStop in my area has a TON of PS2 games that have been traded in lately! :)

  • @Omega5partan Yeah, I got used copies of both games now :)

  • @rang3r34 i have the game it so fun

  • @AlexH279 I have it now, too!! It is VERY cool!!

  • @rang3r34 I have the playable game my brother gave it to me

  • @low98789 Cool!! This game is really a blast to play!!!

  • @rang3r34 bro just buy it on ebay its not really that hard to find trust me :)

  • @rang3r34 dont worry because even the demo is rare to find

  • @rang3r34 I had an actual copy of both games your mentioning :(

    But i lost em ' :(((((((((

  • @emillioe Awwww.....That sucks.....:(

  • does anybody know where i can get this

    tried amazon

    no luck

  • It's on very low availability from gamefly, that's your best bet...

    Or Ebay. Copies are pretty much nonexistent nowadays, so it's pretty much hopeless to get one outside the internets.

  • i meant the theme song

    where can i get the theme song for this game

  • oh and copain was a bitch to get

  • opening iiiiis awsome

  • I love this opening. I finally got the game too. I used to rent it when I was a little kid and now I bought it! It's awesome <3!

  • i love this opening idk why either it's jsut relaxing

  • i only rented this game and its awesome

  • one of the best games for the ps2

  • That is the most KICK-ASS intro EVER.

  • play this game then... DO A BARREL ROLL!!

  • cute

  • (2nd part of translation): so stand up to the wind as the tears dry from your cheeks look into the distant sky and see yourself in your dreams catch a rainbow and chase a shooting star like a shapeless cloud your adventure lies on an unknown path so stand with your face against the wind as you sing with a smile on your face wishing for an eternal sky a vast sea of endless dreams....(end)
  • in translation of song:

    wishing for an eternal sky

    a vast sea of endless dreams

    emotions will brighten

    emotions will cloud

    nothing comes easy

    but i'll keep on believing

    hope will turn into wings

    you still dont realize

    it'll guide you through the map of tomorrow

  • even though iv never played its such a soothing melody.glad i use to watch cinematic and all that to find this

  • I have this game...it kicks ass

  • Altus, the game company that produced this, also produced the game "Trauma Center" for Nintendo DS. It's suspected that they may make a sequel to Sky Gunner on DS.

  • for real?! keep me posted then!

  • do a barrel roll over again this time on the ds

  • there was a rumor tht the company tht originally made this were going to make the number 2 version of this but....unfortunately

    they disapeared as if they were never there i even looked up there website but instead the web turned up an old website tht just simply teaches us how to draw like pixel arts not the company

  • Beautiful opening, both song-wise and clip-wise. Probably one of the best video game openings I've seen, I adore it. ~o~

  • if only they could make a skygunner 2 then i could be happy forever with tht one

  • that guy has to have the worlds largest zipper, if the Kingdom heart guys ever found out about this game the would probably start kicking them selfs for not thinking of that them sleves

  • you cant find this game no more.

  • yea its true theyre all extinct now

  • Prett much. =(. But I love the song! It's so beautiful

  • Bob Attorney i have a copy of it xD its soo awsomes

  • this feels so much older than it really is for me.

  • that sounds wounderful

  • Ah such a beautiful song.....brings back memories....

  • actually the song is actually called "wishing for an eternal sky"

  • good intro don't understand what its saying but it sounds really good

  • anyone know who sings this or what it's even called.

  • "Towards a far away sky" (closest tranlation i can come to)

    -Kazuko Hamano

    hope that helps

  • i played the demo for english waited for to come out and the u s a never realeased it T____T'

  • What are you talking about? I have the damn game.

  • well probley rare game i couldnt find it anywhere its been years

  • yea its a pretty rare game in US

    and i have it ^_^

  • i don't think it's in gamestop or anywhere like that.

  • Yeah, Gamestop sucks when it comes to looking for older games. Always try an independent if your town has one.

  • I know I called them..bleh they said they didn't have it.

    So I just ordered it online.

  • the USA did release it.
