wow i love this game...It's too easy though, completed it. Lots of fun, but the graphics could have been better for wii. In the runup to the release i viewed xbox360 screenshots and got really excited about the goregeous environments and i was a little disappointed in the wii version (i only have a wii). It was such a shame. Lot of fun though... :)

You should be able to fly high anywere. And you couldn't fly that high in Twilight fulls or Vally off Avalar. In the originals, you could basicly fly to space.

But you can't even fly in the first three games! Unless your talking about those bonus stages.. But you cuold have flown higher in this game. But there is some tips for better flying.
1.Fly in a stage where there is lots of room. Ex. Valley of Avalar, Twilight falls, and even The destroyer chapter is good for flying. That's the highest place in this game you can fly! Yes the floating islands would be the highest place to fly but there is a lot of currnts making it hard to fly.
2. DON'T free fly in a stage where there are lots of enimies and obstacles that can kill you. Ex. The burned lands,The dragon city.
3. Climb to a high point in the stage and jump off and fly! Evantullay you will fall back down again though.
Happy flying!
