Ubisoft has been getting a lot of praise recently on the Xbox 360 because of its graphically impressive shooter, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. Ubi is taking another shot at the next-generation console by heading to the air with a World War II arcade flyer, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII. Will Blazing Angels follow in the path of Ghost Recon or go into a tailspin? The answer is a mixed blessing.

The game puts players in the role of a captain in the elite group of pilots known as the Blazing Angels. In the single-player experience, you’ll battle through some of the most historic dogfights of World War II that spans across the globe. Over the course of the game you’ll have a group of wingmen that provide the necessary backup for you to get through each battle alive in Joe, Frank and Tom. 

 

Just like Ubisoft’s success in Ghost Recon, the graphics for Blazing Angels are simply amazing to say the least. Over the course of the game you’ll battle through Dunkirk, North Africa, Pearl Harbor, Midway, Paris, Berlin and more. Each area looks completely different from the next and areas like London and Paris feature lifelike recreations of the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben.

If that wasn’t enough the graphics, other parts of the game are just as good including stunning sky, water and smoke effects. The horizon really is impressive and the sun at times can literally blind you if you’re going at it. Meanwhile the water effects are wonderful and the smoke throughout all the levels will bellow from enemy planes that are shot down, buildings blown to pieces on the ground and more. It really is a sight to see and makes you feel almost like you’re back in the 1940’s.

Crimson Skies was a hit flyer for Microsoft on the original Xbox and Ubisoft is looking to continue that success on the Xbox 360 when Blazing Angels: Squadrons of World War II releases in March. The game combines arcade action with flight simulation in a unique experience through many of the top battles of World War II.

First off, the game’s campaign mode features 20 missions where players battle through various parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. In the game you’ll fly over a burning London to save various parts of the city and then continue on your quest through some of the greatest battles of the war including Pearl Harbor, Paris and Midway.

Thankfully you won’t be fighting these battles alone as you’ll have rookie pilots as your wingmen who will improve as the war goes on. Players have a lot of control over their pilots as you can command them to defend you, attack and distract the enemies all with the simple control of the D-pad.

Important to any aerial game is obviously the airplanes. Ubisoft hasn’t actually confirmed all the planes that will be included, but they have said there will be over 40 types including the Mustang, Lighting, Flying Fortress, Spitfire, Messerschmitt and Japanese Zero to name a few. Each plane looks like its real life counterpart and when it is struck in midair your plane will take on bullet holes and eventually the wings bend off and your plane literally falls apart.
