Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII


What's better than shooting Nazis in the face? Watching them plummet from the sky in a flame-gouting fireball

Blazing Angels is not without a few notable flaws, however, and the frequency of times enemy pilots shout their bile at you definitely starts to grate after awhile. In fact, the voice acting in general is not so hot, but it's an insignificant quibble next to the pure handling of the planes.

Additionally, the PC version seemed particularly finicky with joystick compatibility and it was tough to map the right actions to the right buttons. So, although mouse-flight was done pretty well, we longed for a flawless stick experience. As we weaved through wave after wave of enemies, downing them wholesale, we couldn't help but wish there had been a replay feature included with the game. Still, for the raw, explosive fury of aerial battle, you can accept no substitute for Blazing Angels.
