Excellent History Flying Game

Full of Action this is probably the best game I have played on PS3. It has historical substance and it is just simply addictive, you can't wait to see what the next mission will hold and it just feels like you are in WWII. Great action, graphics and flying simulation. Excellent rating for this game

great I loved the game there are some bad things. Like the Frame rate is messed up when you go through a smoke cloud and some parts when you your shooting. But other then that it is a good game like the graphics are alright and it is awesome how you can old time plains and some of the most historic battle. If you are wondering whether to get it just get it I will bet that you will like.

I was never fond of flying games, i found them to jarbled and boring, but this game was off the hook, i mean if you want to play a flying game, this is it, i'm renting part 2 right now, i need it. this game deals with the germans and the japenese, from Dunkirk, to Pearl Harbor and back to Berlin, this game has it all. Top Notch, Thanks game fly for sending it and thanks Ubisoft for making it. Frickin tight.

The beginning to the future of gaming

There is alot of interesting things about this game, but i have to say the MOST interesting has to be the great use of Tilt control technology that the game puts to use. The tilt control really allows for a bit more interaction with the game and although people say it was an attempt for PS3 to match the Wii i dont feel that way at all because you also have to be aware of the buttons you are pressing...

This game is not one of those hold down the fire button type of games. Although i will admit that the levels tend to get a lil repetative with the same general "protect the planes" and "sink the ship mission" there is a lot of variety in each of those levels also. I didn't get to spend alot of time with the game online but i would still say it is one of those worth playing online.

All and all i think this game deserves recognition especially because of the historical accuracy of the planes. And even more so i would say that even if fighter pilot games aren't you (which more so then not they are not for me) this game is one everybody with a PS3 should play

I have seen many negative reviews and comments. If you like flight sims then you will like this game. Graphics and game play are intense and a thrill to fly. Must have HD TV and if you got a big screen TV then you will find your self turning your body with the movement of the plain. Love it, fast paced game and intense dog fights keep you involded and on your toes!!!

Great!!! almost perfect

This game was nearly perfect. It's game play is great, the controls are fantastic, one of the best features is the six axis controls. The graphics are fantastic the only negative thing I have to say, is so far I have not seen anything different from the Xbox 360 game, it would have been nice to see something special for the PS3 like a new level or something. But I don't know maybe they have later in the game I have only gotten to the third level so far, and it keeps on getting better I cant wait to finish the rest.

Coop Multiplayer is amazing.

This came looks very polished and clean. Having never played the 360 version I have no basis for comparison, but I have played this game non stop since I got it. Split screen coop multiplayer.

Example: I played the pearl harbor level. We started off in our hangers it took us longer to start our engines since they weren't warmed up. We had to take off from a runway with wreckage of planes in our way (Nice touch). Then fight off a huge force of Zero's and bombers. The atmosphere and graphics made me feel the threat of being in a real dogfight.

The planes handle very differently which is great since my buddies enjoy different handling than I do. So we ended up developing our own style of play. Single player has innovative levels (Like flying through a sandstorm to take recon pictures of german basis using only your radio signal to track them down, while taking anti aircraft fire.) I only gave it an 9 because I haven't gotten used to the motion sensitive controls yet. Very hard to use but I'm sure I'll get used to it and probably prefer it later.

Good game to pass the time

I would rate this game higher if it weren't for the problems I kept having with the controller. During game play. In either motion control or button control the controller would lock up, and in tight turn situations, such as the "Glacier" mission, it would mean certain doom, and thus it took far too long to finish the mission making it very frustrating.

Other than that big gripe, I have to say that the graphics are pretty clear and nice. Since I'm a fan of WWII shooters, this was a nice break from COD, and a hice hold over until some new ones come out this fall! If you like Shooters, you like flying, than this is a must play....especially online!

Fun Game for the guy with a short attention span!

posted by Photrick (BEREA, KY) Sep 10, 2007

The game dynamics is great! You have a variety of missions that never kept me bored and i have a short attention span. But what bugs me is your wingman say the same things over and over. If you are only receiving ground fire and they tell you watch your six its kind of stupid. It has a great replay value and the standalone missions and campaigns are always fun. The multi-player is very enjoyable also!

All in all the down side to this game is enemy lock. I have trouble locking on to some enemies so i can follow, but other than that great game!

This game is a solid flyer game. It has OK missions, the graphics could be alot better. Graphics are not up to PS3 standards. If you like flyer games this is a must RENT and a maybe BUY.

Great graphics, excellent controls and, for me at least, challenging! I actually re-rented this title because I missed playing it.

Refreshing graphical and tactical requirements for single-player games and a great multiplayer online version compliment well-designed gameplay.

I'm not really a fan of flight sim games but wow this blew me away ... i was expecting another typical flight sim but this game is a step above any flight sim game ive played ... the controls are easy to adjust to and the sixaxis is pretty smooth as well ... the graphics are amazing for a next gen low rated game

It's a great game but need lot of patience to get going as the controls take some time to get used to.
It is a buy it and use it slowly over a period of time game, not finish in 2 days kind-of-game.

Underrated game

posted by blahwi (WAUKESHA, WI) Mar 25, 2007

Member since Mar 2007

Pros: Looks very nice, water textures and representations of Pearl Harbor, Normandy, midway, london, etc. are just amazing. The game is just plain fun. Sixaxis control is a blast and as far as I'm concerned is the best way to play. Multiplayer and online play is very fun. Nice selection of aircraft, which all fly differently from one another.

Cons: Audio gets to be annoying, game will slow up at certain points but not nearly as bad as advertised by most reviewers. Some of the mission success have more to do with plain luck as opposed to actual skill.

Overall: Very fun game. Great dog fights, bombing runs...may not be 100% correct physics wise, but who cares. If you try this game, I suggest trying it with the sixaxis, it just adds another dimension to flying games. Plenty there to peak my interest over a longer period of time. Definitely worth the rental I would seriously consider buying.

Not the best graphics but the sky looks amazing and the missions are a lot of fun. I love bombing carriers and battleships. One problem I have is the voiceovers do not play. I can hear a blip from time to time when they are supposed to be talking but there is no sound other than that and im forced to read all the text. Other than that...this is a great game and if you like flight simulators this one will keep you busy for a couple days.

Fun WWII Flier

posted by archquestr (NORTHUMBERLAND, PA) Aug 5, 2008

I first played this game on wii and I thought it was pretty fun using the interactive controls, though I thought it actually made the game more difficult.
On PS3 I was pleased with the different game controls and I had a lot of fun with this game.
As a qualifying note: I am a big fan of the History oriented war games so this game was something I probably would have enjoyed even if it were sub-par... that being said I really enjoyed most of the aspects of this game.
If you like WWII History and flying games you will definitely enjoy this game. As you progress through the game you also progress through the History of both the Alied and Axis powers' aviation technology (with historically accurate machines and technology). You gain access to newer more powerful and specialized war planes. The game play takes you through many historically referenced arenas of WWII that are at least somewhat historically accurate as well.
The graphics are right on par with what you should expect from a PS3 game (especially an early game that was developed for multiple platforms). The difficulty of the game is about a C+. Some things are pretty easy and others seem to be overly difficult. This game is long enough to keep even an experienced gamer going for a while, but it is not overly long (pretty well balanced). I also found it interesting that they made an effort to incorporate dog fighting with land and sea attack as well - though on a historical note, they did make it a little silly to have bombing capability from pure fighters... Overall the game was very fun and fairly challenging... This is a game I could honestly see myself owning, just to go back and re-fight some great air battles every now and again when I get the urge to blow some stuff up!

Rented this game and I'm glad I didn't purchase it. Gameplay was just ok, missions was not very hard and finished the game in 2 days. Good luck in trying to play online, can't find anybody really playing it. Allows you to land on carriers and bases which helps create a beginning and ending feel to a mission. You also can fly a lot of different planes. I enjoyed it, but there are other games that are better.

blazing angels is a good game to play if you like planes of WWII. i was not impressed all that much but it is real easy to pick up and play. the graphics weren't up to next gen status but unlocking a different plane after every mission was cool. even though, you find a plane and stick with it for the entire game. Overall, this is a good game to rent.
