Avis sur le produitBlazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (Sony PlayStation 3, 2006)

Entertaining, but NOT a flight simulator

I am very skeptical of games that claim to be an aircraft simulation.

Blazing Angels is somewhat entertaining and provides some information to WWII from an American pilot's standpoint. Some historical facts, but definitely not a history tutorial.

The sixaxis motion control is very refreshing to the typical console game-based flight "simulation" game. Sony definitely dropped the ball when removing the rumble feedback in the controller. This was a major loss in my opinion. The wireless/bluetooth feature is nice, however.

The storyline of Blazing Angels keeps you going and will engulf you into the feeling of an American pilot in WWII, but this is quickly watered-down when the action begins.

The game is exactly that - a game. This is not realistic in physics based aircraft motion - it's better than nothing, but not close to the real thing at all. The controller does help out in trying to pull you into the game and the fast-paced action of piloting some of the finest aircraft ever developed - even in today's high-tech jet world.

This game is great if you just want to turn on the PS3, jump into the action and play a flight game, shoot down some bad guys, and then turn it off to interact with the real world. But to REALLY get into the feel of flight simulation, a PC-based flight simulator game is best. With that, you have more control over the aircraft, its systems, and a slew of weapons. Real weapons aren't fired or released with one push of a button, by the way. An offshoot of Jane's All the World Aircraft had a company (it's no longer) that produced some of the most realistic and stunningly graphical simulator games. I guess that was too much for today's gamer that wants to just play an arcade game.

Online play is better than most games, but the interface really needs some work. Searching for others to play can be frustrating, but it can be done. Once in a game, whether it's a versus or a co-op game, it is fun. The many different types of games in the online play is a bit much, but it does provide choices for different types of gamers.

So, if you like arcade flight games, then this is the game for you. You'll love the sixaxis controller and the graphics of this game. If you're into realism and the true feeling of flight, then this is not for you. I rate this game BELOW AVERAGE because I expect realism in a flight game. This game just skirts above the POOR rating because some of the online play is fun. Playing against other real people online is always more fun than playing the main game by yourself.Lire l'avis complet...

Very good but less than expected gameplay and graphics.

The PS3 game works perfectly and was in great condition on arrival. I'm new at PS3 gameplay. I don't like the button functioning assighnment for my game controller on this game. I'm sure I can coustom assighn the functions in the game menu. I've not had time to try that yet. The gameplay and graphics are a little less than expected but I'm keeping the game.Lire l'avis complet...

Blazing Angels Ps3

Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII for the Ps3 is an excellent game. The graphics are awsome. Also you can fly using the sinaxis controller without pressing any buttons. There are tons of different missions in single play, and this game will last for numerous hours. The game however, is a bit challenging. If you are into flying games and love to blow stuff up this is a must have.Lire l'avis complet...

Not bad for the money

Graphics could be better and flight characteristics could be better . Would be nice for this game to be Joystick compatible with a sim Joystick.

Worst air combat campaign ever!

Comparing to ace combat 4 on the PS2, this game absolutely sucks!
I loved all the Ace combat series games in campaign mode.
Blazing Angels has the controls all screwed up on the PS 3.
Obviously the person who wrote the controller program never flew a plane or has any idea how a plane fly’s.
I mean: Why in the hell would you put the throttle on the right joy stick and combine it with the ailerons?
In Campaign mode the first person view does not even work. The 6-axis tilt system seams in op also.
When in the first level and trying to chase down the enemy’s top pilot. I just got completely pissed. His plane not only is faster than yours, it is also near impossible to get a single shot at him. I used every technique in the book to get behind his ass. I tried the upward gun it than stall and drop, Sorry the computer already had his plane back behind me. I tried simple moves like an inverted loop. Nope, the computer still has his ass behind you. Than I got him chasseing me as fast as we could go, I dropped the landing gear and the throttle, My wing man went zooming right past me but not the enemy who was right on my ass. After trying for an hour, I finally found the only way to get a shot at him is to get him on opposed ends of the playing field, than when he comes strait at you, you can actually shoot his ass down. Overall this is the worst player against computer air combat program I have ever seen.
I guess in an online mode the game might be great but playing the campaign totally sucks! I am getting rid of this B.S. game!
Since I already beat every game out for the PS 3 besides this one, I will have to wait for something good like Metal Gear 4Lire l'avis complet...

Challenging, fairly realistic.

It's good to see some games come out that aren't so mindless. Kids could actually learn from this one, if they don't skip over the storyline parts. The storyline is fairly accurate, and the gameplay is extremely challenging at times. If you're the kind of person (like me) who gets hooked on a game and plays it nonstop until you end up beating it in a week, then this game's for you. But, I will say this game is very hard, and you probably won't beat it fast, unless you don't have a job!! Worth having, definitely more challenging than Resistance, which I thought was way too easy.Lire l'avis complet...

Fun and addictive

The game when it first came out for the PS3 platform offers the sixaxis tilt motion sensing into the game. This adds a new twist to flying simulation games like ace combat series. Other than typical campaign modes, the arcade mode offers the players some expansion towards the campaign mode planes while mini-games are the cherry on top for those who finished the campaign. multiplayer adds fun when friends come over. The flight controls and the camera do need some time for adjustment, but this game will keep you busy for a while.Lire l'avis complet...

More fun than the blazing angel 2

I have both blazing angel one and two, blazing angel one is better than 2 because one has mini game and dual(dogfight)offline or online. What dissapoint me about the ba2 is that just about every mission have notthing to do with flighing plane and shooting ememy planes, most missions just drop freaking bombs on shipping or ground target, so ba one have more flighing and shooting ememy planes,there nothing fun of dropping bombs. It make more sense
the game maker should fucus more of blazing lead on planes that where all the fun is about this game, stop fucus bombing, it's getting bore fast.Lire l'avis complet...
