Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII


  • My friends and I barely got this game yesterday and we were humbly impressed.  Its a WWII flying game in which you take part in the arial combat of the biggest battles of the war.  I watched my friend do the Dunkirk mission and now hes flying over London during the Battle of Britain.  The graphics are simply amazing, even on a low end PC.  Youll especially see the great graphics on the London map, it looks amazingly real and accurate (for example you actually see the Thames River and London Bridge as well as other known London landmarks like St Pauls Cathedral, London Tower, Parliament, etc.)  The controls are kinda weird, but im going to download the 1.02 patch which will allow the game to work with most PC joysticks, so you can maximize your flying pwnage!!  :wink:

    If you like planes and if you are a WWII enthusiast, I recommend you to pick this game up.  Im going to try to MP modes (including co-op) later and tell you guys how it is.  :-D


  • I tried the demo, but it seemed a bit to unrealistic. I wish that they let you fly in first person. However, the graphics and detail are very good, and you do feel like you are flying over a battlefield or city. Still, I became an ace in the first mission. I don’t think any British WWII pilots did that.

    Funny you should mention it, but the full game with the 1.2 patch will allow you to go into first person view if you press the “C” button.


  • Sounds like a game worth looking into!  I plan to upgrade computers pretty soon, so that might be a good graphics test :lol:  Thanks for the tip MW.

    how is the multiplayer?

    I haven’t had a chance to play MP.  My computer has no case or power supply, all I have is a briefcase with the rest of my parts in it.  Once I buy a case/power supply combo, Ill play the MP using hamachi.  Ill tell you if its any good.  :wink:
