Set over 18 single-player levels, each encompassing numerous objectives, you’ll fly over many locations in Western Europe and the Pacific.
So, it’s down to the action to carry the game, and while there’s certainly lots of it, it’s all rather samey. You do receive updates mid-mission, but the game feels rather disjointed, with missions coming one after another, but never really feeling like you got there based on events in the previous level. Sounds good, but is it actually any fun to play?īlazing Angels’ attempt at storytelling is weak at best, with a brief pre-mission voiceover being about all you get. Ubisoft has released Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII for the Xbox 360, Xbox and PC, and it ticks most of the boxes when it comes to dogfighting: large scale aerial battles, squad control, missions based on actual events, online play and more. The arcade-style WWII aerial combat game isn’t exactly one of the most common, but you can pretty much guarantee that a few of them will arrive each year.
