Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII Review

This game is fun to play but sometimes tedious for old guys like me. The flight controls are rather jumpy so that the planes don't execute the way you think you're telling them to.
Having to repeat all stages of a level till you complete it in its entirety gets rather tiresome.

I would say the old LucasArts PC WWII Battle of Britain game is much more fun and you have more control over the planes. I haven't played any XBox type air combat games to compare the Wii game with.

All in all I think it's the best Wii air combat game out right now. I'd love to see some new ones.
