Most airplane games are always for the PC mainly because they allow deeper gameplay. But every once in a while, they release a flight game for the PC. Most of the time, there not very good because they never manage to fit in that PC quality depth onto a console. But Blazing Angels does a pretty good job at it. You play the game as yourself, leading a small group of fighters in some of the most famous air battles of WWII. There are a wide variety of missions set both in the Pacific Theater, and the European Theater. The game takes place from the very beginning of the war to the very end. You start in the battle of Britain, which took place before America even got involved in the war. After fighting at Pearl Harbor, you fight the Japanese in the Pacific, followed by fighting the Germans in Europe. Angels features more than 50 planes for you to fly around in, such as the P51 Mustang, P47 Thunderbolt, Spitfire, and even a B-17 bomber! You have 3 wingmen who fight along side you, and can also perform special abilities. From a simulator perspective, this game isn't very realistic, sure the planes are authentic, but they can take an unrealistic amount of damage. You can even heal yourself! Though the worst thing about this game is its dialogue. Japanese and German pilots say all kinds of dumb things in somewhat offensive accents. Japanese pilots will shout "SMOKE AND FIRE EVERYWHERE!!!!" While Germans will scream stuff such as "FEEL MY WRATH!!!" Yes the dialouge is cheesy as all get out. But if you can get past all the talking and politically-incorrect accents, this is a really fun game with engaging missions and stylish graphics.
