Better looking, better sounding, and better gameplay should be a winner in anyone's book, so if you liked Blazing Angels but hoped for more, then your prayers have been answered. It isn't perfect, but getting to fly futuristic jets and take down giant Nazi zeppelins goes a long way to balancing out the problems!
-
If you're looking for a complex, challenging flying game then you're better off spending your cash elsewhere, but if you fancy some light-hearted arcade action and know you'll make use of the multiplayer mode, or just have some leftover enthusiasm for WWII games, this could be the one for you.
-
If you’ve not played a flying game before and have the impression that they are mind numbingly boring with added beeping then perhaps the arcade antics of Blazing Angels 2 could sway you.
-
Blazing Angels 2 is superior to the original game in every respect, but it's still not as amazing as the Xbox classic "Crimson Skies."
-
Blazing Angels 2 is a clear improvement over the previous game, though history buffs will probably hate the game's fictional missions.
-
Xbox World 360 Magazine UKMarginally superior to the original but too many rough edges remain. [Nov 2007, p.85]
-
Blazing Angels 2 goes in guns-a-blazin', but runs out of fuel rather quickly.
-
Excellent multiplayer options and a lengthy single player campaign manage to add up to a commendable air combat experience.
-
Official Xbox Magazine UKUltimately, the game lacks any real impact, feeling a bit like a gutted "Rogue Leader," but from moment to moment you'll find yourself having a great time. [Oct 2007, p.92]
-
games(TM)So if it’s short on believability and plain fairness, what does Blazing Angels 2 have to offer? In a word: variety. [Oct 2007, p.110]
-
This is by no means a must-have title, but one that can take care of a boring weekend ahead and still have room to venture back through either for achievements or some risky, gun-toting action.
-
The game comes so close to hitting its mark, but its unforgiving difficulty simply can't be ignored.
