Blazing Angels - Squadrons of WWII Description

Blazing Angels is an arcade-style flight sim set in World War II, and enables players to jump right into air combat action, and work their way up from being a rookie through to an ace squadron leader. The game enables players to experience the most gripping and famous battles of WWII through the eyes of a squadron commander and ace fighter pilot. From the battle for England, the attack on Pearl Harbor, to the bombing of Berlin, your pilot skills will create WWII history. Whether it's the invasion of the Philippines, the fierce fighting for the deserts of North Africa, or the battle of Britain, the player and his squadron are tasked with turning the tide of war. The player's objective is to conquer the skies of Western Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific and bring his squadron back alive. The game features innovative squadron-based gameplay, with AI-controlled wingmen obeying the player's commands. Plus, as the pilot's skills improve, so will the skills of his squadron. The pilot's heroism and leadership skills also grow during the course of the campaign as players fly with their squadron and try to evolve together into an ace fighting force. Pilots can choose from a range of 40 authentic WWII aircraft including the famous P-51 Mustang, the P-38 Lightning, the B-17 Flying Fortress, the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt, the Supermarine Spitfire and the Japanese Zero. From the wing rivets to the nose art and the detailed cockpits, these planes are just like the real thing. Players guide their squadrons through 20 heart-stopping missions, beginning as untrained recruits and evolving through battle experience into ace combat pilots.

Yes it is a good game, Yes the Graphics are good, Yes the control are intuitive (using nunchuck to fly), but after a while to game gets boring and repetitive. After play it for a fair few hours over the weekend, I found myself getting bored. It the kind of game you will get into but then put away for a while and maybe pick up again a few weeks later to complete some more missions. Overall a great game but can become tedious after time

This was the third of the flying games I had at once. Initially this was very easy and I got to grips with it fine. The graphics aren't as good as HeatSeeker's but the story mode seemed well written and hung together very well. I found that as I got further into the game it wasn't always clear what my objectives were, and how long I had to do them, but all in all it was an enjoyable game. It was clear that the controls were for a game ported from other consoles but modified slightly, and they seemed to have made a good job of it. It was nice to be able to fly a good selection of WW2 planes.
