 The best WW2 Simulator Ever!!!!! June 27, 2007

I've played most of of the World War 2 simulators on the market i.e Call of Duty, Medal of Honour and so on, and I can safely say that you will never have as much fun on a games console as you will on Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WW2.
It took me a while to get past the tutorial level but that may have been because I found the Nunchuck hard to control but i soon realised that you can change what you use control the plane and I now use the wii remote.
You quickly develop a virtual relationship with your Squadron as you journey through World War 2 in a plane of the era that you are currently in at that point in the game including Spitfires and Hurricanes. The best battle is easily the battle of Britain simply because it provides such a diverse range of gameplay and excitement. This is helped by the fact that you can command your squadron to Attack, Form up on you, defend and each member of you squadron has a different ability which is very useful when you have one plane tagging you that you can't catch and shoot down.
You get immense amusement from listenin to the witty banter amongst your squadrons and the allied forces. You also get to hear German and Japanese communications between their planes.
It does get harder as you proceed through the game but you are encouraged by the rating you get at the end of each mission and an overwhelming urge to fly the planes you have just unlocked.
Multiplayer mode is exceptional with a complete range of missions, some in co-op and some head on. You can choose to duel with the other player or join them as you enter a Dogfight with countless numbers of enemies. Multiplayer lets you have everything from the minute you put the disk in the slot and so you do no have to spend hours trying to complete it so that you can enjoy it with your friends.
Finally, this game has amazing graphics. Who says Wii graphics are rubbish? You can see the textures on the individual house of London. You can fly under and around the Eiffel tower. You can see the ripples of the water as you come in low across the sea to ambush a fleet of ships.
A must buy for anyone who loves gaming.

Blazing Angels is great fun!!!
The only flaw is that the image is a bit grainy, and sometimes jumpy.
It has a very good selection of aircraft,
most of the well known planes of WW11 are there, and a few more. You can fly
German, American, Japanese, and British Aircraft, including the Gloster Meteor and ME262.
And you can fly in most of the major battles, Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Battle of Midway,
D-Day, but to name a few.
Very Good.

(Review written by my son, age 12) I waswanting a good WWII shoot 'em up and I was not disappointed by this. Although I'm not a hardcore gamer this is faster moving than most games I already have and I love it. It is extremely exciting from the moment you put the disk in the slot to the end credits. It really feels like you are a proper RAF pilot. The plot is that you are a yank who wants to help the Brits before Pearl Harbor, so you enter one of the American squadrons in the RAF. First you do various training tasks to learn the controls. The rest goes in chronological order from the defense of Dunkirk to D-Day. When you work through the you get new planes for the next missions.
There are a few things that aren't really in the planes are: locking on to enemy planes and having unlimited bullets.
The controls are easy to master and enemy aircraft are highlighted on your radar and the sky along with allied forces. Your friend gives you mid-flight info that is written on the top as well as spoken. The graphics are amazing for a Wii game as when you fly low over the water it ripples and the explosions are really realistic! The only annoying thing is the incessant sound of the rounds of bullets from your plane. (Mum finds this even more annoying!)
The game is great for anyone who wants a flight simulator game and who is interested in World War 2.
As a 12 year old I loved it and it gives you a super fun game that is perfect for a rainy afternoon or for any time in the day if you feel like being and RAF pilot.
The Best WW2 simulator by far September 23, 2008

Lets start off. The missions are hard, yes. You are an american pilot yes. But it has all the vintage aircraft, even the spitfire V, which is a BRITISH AIRCRAFT. The graphics are awesome, and the camera operation is so clever. If you press A on the wii remote, it turns you round to see the enemy. Frankly the best WW2 and simulator i have ever played on any platform. Brilliant all round.

Very challenging game. Not to hard but not easy as well. Superb graphic and easy to understand commants. If you choose the right control type then it is very sensitiv and acurate to fly your plane through the different stages. All in all a very good game.
