I enjoyed this game despite it's flaws
I enjoyed this game despite it's flaws.
You fly tons of different WWII planes in battles over London, Dunkirk, Paris, Pearl Harbour, Battle of the Mid Way, Islands of Rabaul, Berlin and Africa, on various bombing mission, dog fights, topedeo runs on destroyers. Some missions you are on your own or with your 3 wingmen which have special attributes which you control.
This game is not a true flight sim but more of a arcade game and can be a little unrealistic in some of the moves you can pull off. The controls are easy to pick up, you will learn everthing you need to know in the training mission and you soon be picking of enemy fighter piolts, shooting bombers out of the sky and destroying ground targets.
There is aslo a mini campaign of which when you complete in bombing mode you get an upgrade to all bombs and complete in dog fighter mode you get better guns. During the campaign mode you can unlock different aircraft depending how well you completed the mission, you can use these aircraft in the Ace Dual mode which gives you a Ace paint job for that plane.
It's true they haven't used the full extent of the 360's capabilities. The graphics could of been better and it's hard to find anyone on xbox live.

great arcade game
This is a great arcade style flying game. If you don't expect a sim (which i didnt as i read the reviews) you won't be dissapointed. If you play it blindly like some of the reviewers here you could think it was like microsoft combat flight sim from the photos and general game idea, but its not.
graphics and gameplay are good, and controls - once you have got used to them (didnt take me too long) are easy enough

Not one for flight sim anoraks...
At last! A cracking flight combat video game that gives an arcade experience rather than a boring flight simulation.
I thought very carefully before buying this game because of some poor reviews. I took a gamble once the price came down - and I'm sooooooo glad I did!
The most important advantage of this game is the easy controls. They can be mastered in a couple of hours.
The graphics are good - not brilliant, but certainly good enough to draw you in to the action and keep you hooked.
The range of missions is impressive, from the Battle of Britain to Pearl Harbour to North Africa, from the fjords of Norway to the skies over Paris.
Hey, some bits are too easy but there are a few missions that had me almost throwing the console out the window.
The mark of a good game is the warm glow you get after mastering a particularly difficult section - I got this feeling regularly with Blazing Angels.
If you like flight sims and spend hours banging on about cockpit detailing then don't go for this game. You won't like it. In fact you'll hate it. But then again you won't have many friends so it'll be something to while away your lonely hours...
However, if like me you've been hankering for the excitement of turning on the console and within seconds getting into dog fights with Nazi fighters and bombing missions then buy this game. Now.
Roll on Blazing Angels 2!
