    LOL. For some reason, even after gameplay videos and that toy demo, I still have a hard time visualizing exactly how the skyhook works. I guess I’ll have a lightbulb moment one of these days.

    How big will the warning sticker be that states, “WILL NOT SUPPORT YOUR WEIGHT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SUSPEND YOURSELF FROM THIS DEVICE.”? 😛

      The bar thing that pushes the twirly bit out needs to lock somehow when the hook grabs the wire and it retracts somehow against the pull of the wire

      Yeah, to be able to engage the line from a descent, the hooks would have to be offset to one side or the other. But alas…it is a video game, just roll with it.

    Sweet is the sound of the ratcheting gears…
    it dances around like music to my ears.
    I wait excitedly to purchase the beloved Sky-hook
    I don’t even notice how much from my wallet it took!

    Would be more convincing demonstrating how you actually grab a Skyline cable with it. (It doesnt look like it has a spring strong enough to retract (and lock) as a real one would have to.
