ITS OK..
This game is ok. The missions are not bad and the graphics are alright. Got bored after a while and have only played half the game and im not rushing to play the other half. If you can afford this game then its worth a buy but if your strapped for cash just dont bother.

Patrick's Review
Blazing angels: squadrons of WWII is a darn right useless SINGLE player game!The MULTIPLAYER is the only good thing about it! The flaws of the single player game are: very few missions around 15 (each at 15 minutes long), you have almost the same objective in each mission, Graphics are horrible (except plane and water graphics) when i was playing it my friend came in and said "what ps2 game is this?", you cannot leave a mark on the environment unless you put on an extra damage cheat ( but you can only destroy building withs rockets!)
THIS IS NOT A SIMULATOR, you wanna know why? I DONE A LOOP DE LOOP IN A B-17 FLYING FORTRESS! PLaying with a friend online or offline is fun only i wish it had 4 player but it only has 2 player when offline. When playing multiplayer it is most fun to try and land in one of the landing strips and battle it out while driving your plane on the ground!

My verdict : Worst single playered ps3 game ever, but makes up for some of it in multiplayer mode!

Performance not up to scratch
To be quite honest the gameplay is great in this but I found the scrolling of the graphics ruined it for me. I have a Sony Bravia TV capable of 1080i but on 720p the graphics were no better than a PS1, with horrid lines interfering with the game. Particularly when climbing, diving or changing direction quickly, it was rubbish. I came to the conclusion it was the game as my other PS3 games are fine, even when making fast movements. Shame really as I was looking forward to playing it, I ended up swapping for the altogether better Tiger Woods 07.
