Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII

Experience the greatest air battles of World War II in famous locations from across the globe. Whether it’s the Battle of Britain, the attack of Pearl Harbor or the fierce fighting for the desserts of North Africa, the player and his squadron of Blazing Angels will be tasked with turning the tide of war. Command three separate AI-wingmen and make use of each ones special abilities to both attack and defend their squadron leader. During the course of the twenty mission campaign, the pilot will be accompanied by his squadron and they will grow together as an ace fighting force through the entire length of WWII. Fly in close to Germany’s industrial terrain for a bombing raid, strafe the islands of the pacific, or emerge from the cloud cover over London and engage the enemy. The environment is so real you’ll feel like you’re the pilot in a famous WWII movie.

Still somewhat hot on the heels of Ubisoft's last World War II flight combat game, which was released on the PC late last year, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII arrives. This is about as standard as a mission-based flight game can get--you'll get to bomb targets, participate in dogfights, and defend a lot of stuff in a variety of era-specific planes. While it's a competent package, it doesn't stand out in any way.

You play the role of a squadron leader in Blazing Angels, but you don't start out with a squadron to command. Instead, you're one of the few American pilots helping out the British flyboys. You'll jump right into training, but that doesn't last long, because you're quickly whisked away to protect Dunkirk. You'll meet your squadmates early on, and you'll always fly with the same crew, though a few spots here and there have you out on your own. Even then, your group will keep in touch via the radio. When flying alongside them, you'll be able to give them basic orders, such as to break off and attack or to come back to defend you. Each of your three comrades has a unique ability: Frank runs his mouth a lot, but he's also good at getting out there and knocking out targets when you turn him loose; Tom can taunt enemies to pull them off of you if you're under too much fire; and Joe can occasionally allow you to repair your plane via a series of button presses. Their voices are constantly coming at you over the radio, and they're well done. The enemy also chats it up a lot, in heavily accented, nearly broken English, no less. At times, the Japanese voice acting sounds flat-out racist, which casts a dark cloud over the rest of the game's usually sharp audio.

Once you meet your team, the game skips around, putting you in many of the major air battles of the war. Aside from some pretty ugly looking ground targets, the different spots you'll visit look nice, as do many of the plane models, provided you have a machine capable of running the game at its higher settings. You'll fly over Pearl Harbor and try to prevent as much damage as possible. You'll fly out over the desert of North Africa in search of Nazis in hiding. And, you'll fly at Midway and take out a sizable chunk of the Japanese fleet. Despite the frequent changes of scenery, the missions are very cut and dried. You're presented with objective after objective, and very few of them are difficult. Between the relative weakness of the forces you'll be facing and your ability to make repairs to your plane, you rarely get shot down unless you're doing something dumb, like flying too high when attempting to creep up on some radar towers that are surrounded by antiaircraft guns. Overall, the game does a good job of making you feel very powerful, but ultimately the victories seem hollow, because you rarely feel like you can fail. At least the dogfighting is mixed with the bombing reasonably well. Torpedoing enemy cruisers and carriers is fun.

Flying planes in Blazing Angels is kept pretty light, though the mouse-and-keyboard control is totally inadequate. Given the game's console roots, your best bet is playing with something resembling a dual analog joystick. If you have an Xbox 360 controller, the buttons for that controller will appear onscreen, but you'll still have to configure the buttons to your liking. Considering that you aren't able to configure the controls in-game, you'll have to quit out each time you want to change something, relaunch, watch the StarForce check, button past all of the intro screens, and then reselect a profile just to get back into the action. That process gets awfully annoying as you're trying to feel out what the best control option would be. In addition to its 18 campaign missions and a pair of mini campaigns that open up after you beat the game, Blazing Angels has a few quick-start alternatives. Arcade mode gives you a timer and puts you up against waves of planes. Ace duel puts you up against a single ace pilot, both in the same plane. Beating him unlocks a new paint job for that plane. If the dogfighting were challenging, that might mean something, but instead you can make it just by hitting the brakes for a better turning radius and getting in behind your target.
