Sept 18, 2007

If you liked the original you'll like this. It's the cliché that most of us reviewers try to side-step as urgently as if it were a loony-eyed hobo. Thing is, it isn't true of Blazing Angels II: Secret Missions of WWII, because anyone who paid for the original will probably find this sequel a personal insult to them, their family and their dead Labrador.

Article continues below

While the first Blazing Angels covered the basics well enough, it also suffered from rushed presentation, obvious budget restrictions and a few genuinely bizarre design choices - a set of problems that, unfortunately, this sequel repeats with careless abandon.
