Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII - Nintendo Wii

This air combat war game is superb and feels like you are really flying! This handles great. You can unlock new things and choose from various World War 2 planes (some are even earlier), to go on missions. dogfight, duel, do bombing runs, and lots of other stuff. The graphics are great and the game is fun. It can be very challenging but that is the way war is and this is very realistic. If you like aerial war games, this is a good one that handles very well.

The game is pretty much what I expected flying-wise for this price. The graphics are effective, but not tremendous. The "story" and mission locales are pretty crude. There's Joe and Tom, etc., but you only hear them on the radio (repeating the same lines) and read about them during loading sequences. There's Midway and North Africa... The bottom line is that the game, though relatively crude, is challenging and fun.The good: I am hopeless using simulated flight controls (the ground keeps showing up right against my face). However, there are several control configurations available, so if you can handle the sim controls, you can do that; if you can't, arcade-like controls are an option. The Wii controls are used to their fullest, I suppose, but I still prefer using the nunchuk as an arcade-like joystick.The bad: The most obvious flaw is the lack of clear, consistent instructions. It takes a few failures to figure out what you're supposed to be doing and how to do it on some of the missions. Not a huge problem, but it is inconvenient and mildly frustrating.The obvious: The missions are set in WWII, of course, and the "story" keeps you moving from theater to theater. There is some variety (dog fights, bombing missions, recon, etc.). It's keeping me interested, I suppose. Again, it's crude, but it meets the minimum requirement for maintaining some sense of accomplishment and some raison d'etre for the character.There is no difficulty level setting, though, so I am now stuck on a mission that I fail over and over again. Early missions also required repeating so I could figure out efficient ways to achieve the objectives through trial and error. I am really stuck on the current level. I guess that could be called "challenging" and it's still fun enough to keep trying... over... and over... However, if I remain a failure, I'll never see another new mission. I guess that's realistic in that if I were a lousy WWII pilot, I'd die or be given a desk job. Unfortunately, for a video game, it could mean landing on the shelf and collecting dust.Anyway, after each success, you get more planes. There are real differences in the handling and effectiveness of the different planes, but I wouldn't call this a flight simulator. For instance, taking off and landing is often not part of the mission; there are no speed gauges or altimeters. You speed up, you slow down, you target, you shoot.

I think this is a great game. I have played quite a few simulators and I do have a pretty high expectation for most air combat games, but I knew this was a video game. The play, however, far exceeded what I expected.My son, who is six, just watches me get through the levels so that I can unlock planes for him. I usually fly the configuration with the nunchuck and the wii controller. I works the best for me. I go back and forth between simulator and arcade style.The levels are fun and intense. I am a big WWII history buff so I enjoy the intro movies and the different planes. I would recommend this game to anyone for hours of fun.

The game is trash compared to WW2 Aces

I bought this game based on the reviews of others. I'm not terribly impressed with the game, but I'm not disappointed either. I enjoy the physics of it and the multiple control options. For the wii, I honestly think it's the best it can be. I've played better flight sims on PC (Secret Weapons Over Normandy), but I favor those mainly because I'm used to the joystick. Once I become accustomed to a control layout on the Wii, I'm sure I will love the game. If you're on the fence about the purchase, I say go for it. The price is right and the fun is there.

Before I bought this game I looked at the trailer and the trailer is right on target the trailer has a lot of action and adventue in it making it interesting.So I went ahead and bought.It was the best game I have ever bought!Blazing Angels:Squadrons of WWII is the Best game in the world the graphics are intense with entising gameplay that will blow your mind!If you are a first starter,don't worry!The controls are easy to get used to and there is training that will show you how to shoot,aim,land,and more.There are billions of reasons to why you should buy this game.The game includes plent of missions,different modes such as arcade,mini campaign,and the game is 2 player.You can get 46 different planes including the P51 Mustang,Japanese Zero,and more!The missions include Pearl Harbor,Battle for brittian,Battle of berlin,and the most famous air battles of WWII!This is a game that you Have to buy you wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun Would you?Of course not!This will be the best game you ever get!

In a word it sucks. You have to hit all targets or start from scratch. Mine starts diving and will not pull up no matter what and crashes. Tried different controls etc same thing. I prefer the older PC flight games. This is my first on WII and probally my last. Not even close to what I was looking for.

We bought this game a few years ago, and it has become one of the classics in our home. Our 13 year old has been playing this over the years, and likes it so much that he's created several IDs so that he can start over again after getting all the way through the game.As others have said, it takes skill, dexterity and brainpower... go with mariocart if you are just looking for cheap, easy action. You have to figure out the angle of attack and you have to be persistent and try new things to make it through. If easily frustrated, look elsewhere.One day a couple years ago we went to our local Dave & Buster's restaurant and they the full size Blazing Angels game there. For 50 cents, our kid made it through three campaigns and had a crowd watching him blast Axis power to heck.It's all good.

Great game. My son enjoys playing it with friends when they come over. Judging by the amount of noise they make while playing it, it has been a big hit.

Fast shipping. Game works great

I really enjoyed this game when I borrowed from a friend, but since I got my own copy, I haven't played it much.

Another good game from Wii. Good flying techniques.. Color good. I can't say anything bad about it right at this moment.
