World War 2 Wii games take to the air in Blazing Angels

Posted on 2007-04-27

Ubisoft’s fangs-out Wii Games action title, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, flies Wii Jockeys into a bee's nest of Pacific and Atlantic aerial warfare and it does it with healthy dollups of arcade flair.

Wanna pick off Stukas and Zeros with one shot in this wii game? No problem. Even dad can do it.

Need unlimited bombs? Gotcha covered.

Hungry for maddeningly inconsistent fighter controls? Look no further.

You read it right, Cochise. Ubisoft has done a swell job optimizing the Wii Remote and nunchuk for each plane's flight controls in Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII, so much so you’ll see why the Devastator, with its ponderous agility and lack of firepower, was “virtually eliminated from Navy inventory by getting shot down during the Battle of Midway”. The Devastator’s controls prove frustrating to the point that you’ll be swearing up and down at the television. Bottom line, there's nothing "blazing" about the Devastator, that's for sure. On the other hand, the Spitfire V is a dream ride in this wii game. Having to complete missions in Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII with planes that are difficult to fly doesn't make it easy to finish the game...

Forty-six different aircraft, challenging level design, and highly satisfying controls make up for some of the game’s graphic eyesores like the Midway level where escorting a bomber squadron forces you to stare at the sun half the time. Theeeere's a good time.

But at the end of the day I’m hooked on beating the game and I found a lot of fun in the Wii version. Take a gander if you get a chance. The controls really set it apart from other ports for Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII.
