Summary: A Great Game we Played for Months 2008-10-13
Comment: Blazing Angels 2 - Secret Missions is in essence a World War II flight simulator game - but in addition to authentic planes they toss in experimental planes, broadening your horizons. We played through the full game multiple times, it really was great fun.
The missions all have their main objectives - find the lost woman, shoot down the train, but they also have secondary objectives to encourage you to go back and replay the missions to track them all down. We found the game very replayable and enjoyed multiple passes on the same levels, trying new techniques or faster times.
The graphics are quite impressive, from forested hills to ice flows in a frozen sea. The details on the planes is impressive as well and with the variety available you do appreciate having a nice rendering to look at.
The game definitely isn't easy. You have to do some very precise flying to get through some of the levels, and I can see how someone new to this type of game could get frustrated. The key is to be patient and practice.
Above all, this game is *fun*. There are many other games I play which are frustrating when you're doing poorly and you just want to get them over with. When you do well it hardly seems worth it. With this one, you pour hours into it because you really do get a sense that you're achieving something, you're getting better, your skills are improving, you are reaching objectives. The fast thinking and hand-eye coordination really are useful in the "real world".
The characters are enthusiastic, the music is stirring, the graphics draw you into the world and the enemies are a challenge, but in a good way. They help you hone your skills and improve.
We really enjoyed this game a great deal, and look forward to any new releases from this set of developers. Well recommended!

Summary: Great game with a few draws 2008-09-19
Comment: First off, the graphics in this game are great. The game play/plot line is well thoughtout. I have not had a chance to play multiplayer yet, but I suspect is will meet or exceed my expectations. Controls are not complicated, and in a short period of time (20 minutes), it becomes natural.
A few of the downsides are, it is a longer game to play. Even seasoned players can expect to spend a few weeks to beat the game. Some games can be beaten in a few hours, this one cannot. There could be a little more description of weapons/features in the game, it is kind of left open what each feature will do/what upgrade will do.
Over all, one of the better flying games out there, and it also offers historical accuracy (from what I know of WWII).

Summary: Not bad at all 2008-05-19
Comment: Graphically very attractive !game play is good for a simple simulation! 3rd person POV as far as game play! takes a lot of fun into flying! however, a lot of the aerodynamics is impossible for the WW2 type aircraft ! I am a pilot and so I know what I am talking about, some performance is just impossible for normal aircraft to perform as it did in the game!
Still is a good all around shooter and putting in the historical and romance of WW2 combat flying! ( not too complicated like a lot of aviation simulator) it brings in enough fun factor and still have some things for the detail side for Aviation buffs! I give it 2 thumbs up!

Summary: Great fun & action. 2007-12-08
Comment: Blazing Angels 1 & 2 I purchased together,as I am a big fan of WW ll shoot em'ups I have been mowing through BA 1 on the campaign trail but then went online (multiplayer) on Blazing Angels 2 which turns out to be great fun and the graphics are superb, I am totally hooked on this game, flying around in either squads or dogfighting on line is really a great experience. Choose a plane to fly against someone else around the world, either Cairo, Sweden, Rome ect and just put yourself up against the best pilots.

Summary: 2 is better than 1 2007-11-21
Comment: Well, graphics wise this game looks very nice. It's def. a upgrade from BL1 due to the fact you can completely customize your aircrafts. You can change the colors, icons, and even unlock "parade" or "special" paints for them. Of course beating the game all the way through and getting ace on each mission will unlock every aircraft but you can also unlock weapons. The game progresses from props to jets like in the first one but now you can homing missiles and when you choose your aircraft you can equip them to make for easier air combat (but doesn't change ground combat).
You are also able to buy upgrades to your aircrafts from the points you recieve from missions. Like: more armor, stronger weapons, smarter teamates, higher scores, etc... I found this game to be great do to the fact the customization of everything which the first blazing angels lacked.
However, what comes with great has to come with bad in this game. Some people look for great cinematics with games and a great story line. I will give the game props for being creative with what the germans "might have or might not have" done and the aircraft but the cinematics are frustrating cause they make it like a chincy comic look (frame by frame). Highly annoying for the people similar to me that like to sit back and enjoy some nice graphics/story line/and great cinematics (kinda like a reward for your achievement of completing a couple of hard missions).
I found this game (like the first one), once you get use to the aircraft and controls again its fun and easy. Also, the main thing i CANNOT knock this game for is the ability to land and take off which most other flying games don't have. The first one had it and they kept it in this one. Good job on you for that. So overall this game is great and i'm rating it a 4 but don't look forward to anything visually interesting between missions.
