Okay, let's put this in perspective. There may be better flying games out there, but for the moment this is it. You are one of the allies top pilots, and you must help turn the tide of battle. In the beginning the controls are a bit quirky, but the learning curve is not that bad. The online feature is where the fun is, putting your dogfighting skills, against the best to take to the skies. Do you have what it takes. You can download a demo at the playstation store. If you like it, then come back here to get it.

Blazing Angels 2 is original and exciting. This newest version of the series has many additions that add to the overall experience, including the ability to purchase plane upgrades: weapons, armor, ammunition, engines, training, etc., with points earned during the campaign mode. The graphics are impressive. The prior version on Wii is no match for this edition. So much detail is included in the game on PS3, including ground troops racing to perform tasks, and realistic tanks firing on targets. It was easy to learn the controls and begin flight. There are, of course, some unrealistic aspects, such as the overwhelming number of enemy planes, many of which are unresponsive to being fired upon, but at the same time it adds to the fun of the game to take out several light bombers just putting along in a straight formation. It would also have been nice for the game to have preserved some of the major battles (Battle of Britian) in the campaign mode, but I suppose the "Secret Missions" title should have clued me in on the fact that those might be absent. If you enjoy aerial combat games, I highly recommend this title.

I loved this game. While I dont own the original and thus cant speak to improvements made and so on; I do love this game and recomend it to anyone who is into WWII era fighter planes. The planes in the game all handle differently with varying strenghts and weakness'. At first the six axis is a little shaky but after a few campaign missions it becomes instinctual and you'll be flying through the legs of the eiffel tower upside down with ease. The game has split screen campaign, duel, and skirmish maps available, and with only minor training (1 hour atleast)your friends will become halfway competent target dummies. I would imagine that for more meaningful duels you would need to visit the online venue or play against a friend that actually has experience with this or perhaps the first title. All in all this is a great game and I think it defines where flight simulation games are headed for the ps3. I would absolutely recomend it to round out anyones game collection.

I've really enjoyed this game. It's not too difficult, yet challenging enough that you're not blowing through the levels.

There are so many WWII games out nowadays, and I've long realized they're just not for me. I don't like "gritty" action, and I'd rather not trivialize this historic conflict by glorifying it with a game. Flying games don't come out that often though, and since we don't seem to be getting any more starfighter-based Star Wars games, this seemed like the next best thing.
The first Blazing Angels was a lot like the Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe games -- a bit of a "serious" simulator with an arcade heart. I was thrilled to learn that BA2 is more like another "dumbed-down" favorite, "Crimson Skies" on the XBOX. Or the Star Wars games Rogue Squadron, Rogue Leader, Rebel Strike, Starfighter, and Jedi Starfighter.
The graphics are beautiful, the controls are responsive, the online and offline cooperative and versus multiplayer is effective and fun, and the whole package is definitively worth the price of entry.
Now if only people would buy more games like this so this isn't such an endangered species of game on modern systems!
