Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I have seen a lot of games with numerous flaws get 10's by some reviewers that has been making me crazy. Any game that has flaws is by no means a perfect 10 period. That said Blazing Angels is far from perfect. Fun yes, but only to a point. The challenge curve varies so drastically from mission to mission that the feeling of fun goes to the urge to smash the disc. The graphics are still like many first gen launch titles for the 360 is below par. Not bad mind you, just not as good as it should be. Flying around shooting down Germans and Japanese aircraft has its moments of yahoo fun, but then you get these tedious missions with little or no guidance that kill the buzz. Some missions are perfectly challenging and others require the skills of a jedi. Unless you can shoot down 20 Japanese bombers in 3 seconds the mission is a failure, and there is no clear understanding of why? That makes this game partly suck. For an arcade style flying game it comes packed with decent affects, and semi realistic dog fighting moments. But really just rent this it is not worth $60 to own. What is good about this game? Well it does have appeal to the couch pilots and holds attention for some time. But eventually it becomes tiresome and irritating with little to zero replay value. It isn't awful, but also no where near what could have been. And again this holds true to most 360 titles on the shelves right now. Dear god please bring us another Oblivion like game that delivers on all counts but with fewer technical bugs.
