    I bought a wii for my kid, and he loves it. Then I bought WWII Aces. I am stuck on the first mission, where you have to sink 2 U-boats while fighting off I don't know how many fighters. Granted, I've done very little gaming, but this is frickin impossible.

    INterface is okay, but the missions are impossible. There are always swarms of enemy fighters behind you, making it pointless to use a bomber since it will just be cut to pieces. I like a challenge, but I was unable to make any meaningful headway in the game with the setting on EASY! Too bad, it had a lot of potential, but just doesn't reach it.

    This game is impossibly difficult. Even at the easiest setting on the first level, the game is punishingly difficult. The awkward Wii controls and lack of mission variety really are a let down. That's not to say there isn't a lot to do, because there is with over 60 missions, but many of them are just the same objective in a different setting. It's way too repetitive.

This game seems like it was almost half-assed and the fact that it is so unapproachable by all but the most skilled person with a wiimote and an infinite amount of patience.… Expand

    Yet more proof that slapping motion controls on a lousy game doesn't magically make it worthwhile. [Mar 2008, p.87]

    The levels are unorganized, ugly, and totally unsatisfying. [Apr 2008, p.60]

    WWII Aces is a decent title that is meant to be played cooperatively. So long as you have another friend close by, the $40 shouldn't sting your wallet too much.
