    When this game came out I was unsure about it due to the magazine reviews giving ait a right royal pasting. Having it given some positive reviews from friends, I dipped my toe in and purchased it. If you liked Rogue Squadron, you

    This game has a fair number of setbacks. While I'm "casual flyer", both my friend and I found several parts more difficult than we liked.
    The one really shining point of Blazing Angels is the variety of controller setup choices, though it was kind of annoying that it didn't remember our selections when we hopped from one multiplayer game to another during our play session.

    Another thing we didn't really care for was linear nature of the game.    … Expand

    This was the freaking hardest game i have ever played. It was fun until I got to the second ice level, where you have fly in a REALLY small canyon, with a small time limit, and terrible controls. Yeah, took 3 days to beat that one. But once I did, I unlocked the D-Day level. But every single level after that is freaking hard. I don't know if there was a difficulty option, but if This was the freaking hardest game i have ever played.

    The game is decent in my opinion, though I still enjoy it even a decade after it's release. The game has graphics that aren't the best but certainly don't detract from the gameplay and the gameplay itself is fair. The game doesn't do a great job at balancing the difficulty as the mission progresses, as it makes it difficult in the beginning, easy throughout the mid portion of the game asThe game is decent in my opinion, though I still enjoy it even a decade after it's release. The game has graphics that aren't the best but certainly don't detract from the gameplay and the gameplay itself is fair. The game doesn't do a great job at balancing the difficulty as the mission progresses, as it makes it difficult in the beginning, easy throughout the mid portion of the game as your skill progresses, then slams you into a brick wall at mission 15. The controls are responsive though the game could have developed better handling for the aircraft. And the realism in the flight doesn't seem arcade-ish but could have done better in terms of realism. Overall, the game is fun and presents a good challenge.… Expand

    There's already a better air combat game on the Wii in the shape of "Heatseeker," but if you'd rather try something more historical this isn't too bad. [Apr 2007, p.78]

    Still, the game's biggest problem is a simple lack of mission variety. [May 2007, p.87]

    A game that had a ton of potential, but just didn’t execute well.
