Lots of great WWII missions; Fly all the great WWII airplanes from either the Allied side or the Axis side. Can use many types of weapons depending on the mission. I would have bought it earlier if I had known it was this much fun!!!

If you are looking for a fun game as far as WWII fighter squadron, then get this. I have mine for the PS3 and its okay. I also own Heroes of the Pacific for the PS2 and this game reminds me of it. Even though you fly for the RAF in Europe aswell, the pacific theatre is a joke and that was a dissapointment. Good graphics though and plenty of planes to choose from, hope the 2nd one is better.

I bought this game after reading the reviews on the Best Buy website and love it. It has good graphics and is hard to put down. The multiplayer games are awesome. My family and I played it on Easter for hours. In the campaign mode, the characters do use a few inappropriate words, but nothing too bad.

This game is rediculously fun in multiplayer mode, shooting at each other. When I first popped this game into my Wii, the controls with the nunchuck were too difficult and u had to think about what you were doing. When I went to the controls menu and figured out that u can play with the Wiimote sideways, Blazing Angels became my favorite game owned.

It took me awhile to get used to the controls. I kept using the joystick on my nunchuck instead of the nunchuck itself. After awhile I was awesome. Sometimes it's difficult to make sharp turns, but that really depends on which plane you choose. Overall I like this game. It's alot of fun and a great game to add to your Wii portfolio. For $20 this is a good buy. Much better than some of the $50 games.

Blazing Angels II

This is a must-have game for Wii owners, it is really a blast. You use the nunchuck controller like it is the joystick of a plane and similarly control, e.g. tilt/push forward to dive and rotate to the right to roll right. The controls are very accurate to what your plane is doing on the screen and it includes a very fun and realistic WWII battle campaign mode. In addition to the dogfighting campaigns include using bombs, missiles, and torpedos to take out ground and water targets, flying support for Allied troups on the ground, and in general is an awesome game.

I enjoy this game. The levels and fun and exciting, even my friend who generally doesn't like this type of games liked it. The interactive controls make it so much more fun and generally easier to fly, if you get used to it.
One thing, dont believe the picture of the product and product information, this game is not for Wi-Fi and has a 2 player mode.

This game is addicting and fun. The graphics aren't the best and on a few missions the screen will get jumpy due to all the stuff going on. I loved the variety of planes (fighters, bombers, dive-bombers, torpedo bombers), but the game absolutely needs to have a rudder control in simulation mode, which it doesn't. This is the only thing about the game I really couldn't stand. Arcade mode won't let you do barrel rolls and simulation mode won't give you rudder control. Great game otherwise.
