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
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
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.

Very exciting, Great Gameplay

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.

Excellent game, graphics and controls not

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.

I got this for my family for christmas. It was the firsit game I bought for the wii. They love it. They all can play it. It might be a little difficult for the 6 year old, but she can hold her own. I recommend it.

$20 game

Granted, I've only had this game for three days, but I already love playing it. The control scheme is very different from any other flying game. And, even though the control scheme is awkward at first, it doesn't take long for you to get used to it. Any Wii owner should own this game based on the fact that its a great game for only $20. My only gripe is that I waited for months to get this game, because I wasn't sure how good it would be. Buy this game!

Best Game Ever

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is the best game that I have purchased for the Wii. If you like WWII fighters, this is your game. Tons of aircraft and missions. Controls can be a little jumpy and sometimes I would like to have an actual joystick, but it is still awesome. Uses wii sensing by using the numchuk as your stick. It is a lot of fun! One of the cheaper games, and one of the best out there.

Really like the storyline and gameplay is pretty good, although the graphics seems to move slowly at times which seems to affect the flight ability. Overall a very good game.

This game is one of the best games i got on wii. The controls are a little shaky but not enough to matter a whole lot. If you like flying around in old fighter and bomber planes then you are going to love this game.

Not for everyone

I'm sure people who have several of this type of game enjoy this, but personally we found it difficult to maneuver in the game. I spent more time blown up and wonderin where I was than anything else. Of all the wii games that we have this one has definitely been played the least and probably will never be opened again since there are so many better games out there for the wii.
