 OK, but August 24, 2007

i found the sixaxis rather numb for this game. it is very easy to overcorrect due to lag from controller/game(?. i did improve somewhat with practice but the end result is still not very satisfactory. since i am not one of the dedicated thumbolinas who live to do fine motor movements with their thumbs on consoles, i really had hoped the sixaxis would be implemented well but this is an older game and the sixaxis functionality had to be programmed in recently, i suspect. i am looking forward to Warhawk and B.A.II - which hopefully were written to take full advantage of sixaxis.
 Incredibly fun with the right dose of reality.... July 19, 2007

This game is amazing. I am especially impressed by it because it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I love flying games, especially aerial combat, but when it is too technical and all sim I get frustrated. This game finds that perfect middle ground. You can stall, crash, lose control, and so forth... but you do not need the skills of a professional pilot to play it. Any gamer can get the hang of the controls with some practice and it is a TON for fun to fly around. Your plane is not indestructable but can take some damage so it is not like a few shots puts you on the ground. Missions and enemies come in a variety of difficulty levels so both the novice and expert will feel challenged byt different game modes. There are abour 40 different aircraft that you can fly in the game and various missions utilize unique attacks: machine guns, bombs, torpedos, rockets, and even phtos are all skills you must learn. I found the graphics to be pretty impressive, even without an HDTV. The background music is pretty cool, too, and that adds a lot to the gaming experience. I have had a blast with the game so far. I have mainly flown campaign missions, arcade mode (gun down enemies to earn time and pass checkpoints), and duels with aces. I don't think I have had as much fun playing a flight game since the days of Red Baron. You will not regret this purchase! I did not even mention the use of sixaxis control, which is another great feature that is used well in this game. Again, Blazing Angels is highly, highly recommended for the PS3.
Great Game for the PS3 July 11, 2007

This is one of only two PS3 games I've bought so far, and have enjoyed it. The controls take a little getting used to, but once you have them you can get lost in the story without much trouble. There are some levels that are difficult and have taken me a long time to get past, playing the same battle over and over again. It is also frustrating that you have to start each mission over again if you have to quit at any time. But the graphics and sound are great and its fun to play.
great game! July 1, 2007

If you have a ps3 and a computer, buy this game for the ps3 instead of the computer. The game (and my plane) crashed on my computer. When I bought the game for my ps3, I was very impressed with the gameplay and the extra missions that only come on the ps3 verison of the game. If you don't have a ps3, one, i don't know why you are looking at this review, and two, don't buy the game for computer. If you want to play the game, play it on xbox360 or ps3, but don't buy the computer verison!
Loving it and frustrated May 7, 2007

Being the proud owner of a new PS3, a copy of Blazing Angels (among other games), a new Sony LCD HDTV and digital connections , I have not been dissapointed in any of those purchases especially "Blazing Angels". The graphics and sound (I play it thru a BOSE entertainment system) alone will blow your mind, especially if you previously have not been exposed to that environment.
Now to the game: It has a short training mode whereby you fly basic older aircraft designed to get a layman exposed to the controller and the game's interaction. Then to the missions; WWII is closely paralleled. While the game does take some liberties with actual facts of the war, it won't disappoint you if you are a student of the war. The game gets progressively harder and in the Arcade mode, shorter alloted times; which is sure to frustrate you as you are learning how to fly, bomb, torpedo and avoid being blown out of the sky.
My experience with the motion sensitive controller has pretty much relegated it to the back burner. It doesn't appear to be responsive enough to turn tight loops with the aircraft. But in all fairness, I have been concentrating on those things that work for me. I'll give it another shot as time passes.
Find the time to play it. It will give you many hours of enjoyment; be prepared to get frustrated, though. Thus far, I am protecting (or trying to) Midway island. But I am also frustrated, as I can't imagine downing all the incoming bombers, before time runs out (I've tried many, many times). Maybe my age is a detriment, though. I am almost 70 yrs old but "Loving it and Frustrated".
