Customer Reviews

Chocks Away
I was looking out for a flying game that also had some shoot em up action and Blazing Angles does not dissapoint.

At first it took a little while to get used to the controls , I used the remote and nunchuck option. The first training campaign takes you through all the contols you are going to use and then the next campaign (Dunkirk) is a little easier.

The graphics are good and although sometimes there is a little delay in the controls but this is not too often to make it a problem.

I am looking forward to working through the campaigns and if you are looking for a game that has flying and shooting and don't want anything advanced like the PC flight simulator then this is for you.

WOW!
My favourite game for the Wii so far, if you like flight sims come shoot up then this is for you. Love the use of the nunchuck just like stick control.

Scramble, Scramble, Scramble
This is a good solid game. The controls (which are configurable) are quite arcade like and not exactly an accurate simulation of flying. Nevertheless, the game is enjoyable. As with any American produced WWII game the dialogue and scene setting are very Americanised, and do lack a little in accuracy. I'm not sure how many American pilots were flying for the RAF in 1939, but I doubt it was very many.

Back to the game, the range of aircraft is good, there is not always much to choose between them in terms of aerodynamics and speed, but you certainly feel the difference in firepower. If anyone has played the excellent Secret Weapons over Normandy on the Xbox or PS2, they will see certain similarities here. Secret Weapons was superior in the storyline and dialogue, but being able to use the Wii's controls lends Angels a unique flying experience. This is what makes the game so good.

The missions are not terribly challenging, and to be honest they don't take too many attempts to complete, but there are lots of missions, so there is a good degree of longevity with the game.

Overall, I would certainly recommend it. It's not a sophisticated flight simulator, but it is jolly good fun! Tally-Ho Alge!
