The PS3 offers new ways to shred airborne Nazis, but stalls on lingering issues

No matter how you choose to fly, Blazing Angels looks just as good on the PS3 as it did on Microsoft's hardware. You'll see the same perfectly rendered skies, detailed ground environments and neat motion blur effects as you dive and fire upon a target. Better yet, the stacked shoulder buttons of Sony's controller put bombs and the follow camera in rapid-fire reach of the same finger, so you can drop some death and then watch the fireworks from a stunning cinematic angle.

With pleasant imported items come some ugly realities, as well. As before, the AI is determined but not terribly bright, and both friendly fliers and enemy combatants are prone to spouting off the same old lines again and again, marring sound design that otherwise replicates different weapon and engine sounds nicely.
