Clyshite the sirens? Again the German bombers fly over London. Now spikiruyut at the Parliament building, then probably head to the Tower ... Stop while you around here for?

Good old books

The theme "World in the sky" more than once attracted the attention of developers and publishers.

There were also training on the old "for maize, and flights over the capital of the United Kingdom, and an indispensable Pearl Harbor, and Berlin, not to mention the destruction of enemy convoys, the destruction of bridges and photographing the enemy's camp. The game creators have tried to collect all the good things that flashed in similar projects (typed on 18 levels, plus some bonuses), but compose your own simple script. With that and went to conquer the sky. However, IL-2: Sturmovik "can sleep at night; Blazing Angels - no simulator, and a representative of the genre flight action - simply a beautiful fighter aircraft of the average degree of realism in the spirit of Ace Combat and Secret Weapons Over Normandy.

Sitting behind the wheel

Control of the plane simple and convenient: easy to get used to it for 20 minutes, and after another hour and a half, you start to get up in the air such tricks, and some aerobatic team "Swifts" never dreamed of. Sorry, all steel birds behave almost identically in the air - on a variety of do not count.

Partly due to management, a firefight with apostates are nothing complicated: flit on your health, follow the "dead loop", go into a steep dive in, sit down enemies on his tail. In short, enjoy your life - air duel in Blazing Angels is not only stylish, but spectacular.

With the bombing of the case is more complicated.Despite the availability of special sights, bombs tend to fall "by cash" even at seemingly precise tip-off. Because of this we have to waste precious time, and from him, among other things, depends on the success of the mission, and evaluation of command of your achievements. Coped with the task in 10 minutes? Commendable! Carry a quarter of an hour? No one at a snail will not pay any attention.

Radar in the game is not at all, any card, too, is not provided - so the authors Blazing Angles paid tribute to the realism. And not always obvious where to go. In theory, holding one of the left "Shift", we can determine the position of the next target. But that's the rub: sometimes the trick does not work, and do nothing as the cut circles somewhere over the African desert, hoping solely on luck.

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII When patrons come to an end?

Easy life

Die in aviasrazheniyah if you do not conspired to commit suicide, difficult. Entire flock (German or Japanese) Asa hardly become a serious threat to the welfare of the Stars and Stripes player. On the less maneuverable opponent and say no. Also, one of the slave is always ready to fix your "bird" in the air: just click on the crossbar (with it goes to the team managers), and then quickly use the controller in the required sequence.

Graphics in general produces a nice impression, though without missteps and not managed. For example, relatively little look model ships and ground equipment, some of the scenery ... But what are clouds, sunsets and sunrises! Again, the failed bombings and other pyrotechnics. For a full "next-gen» X360-version, of course, does not pull, but still - very, very cute. With sound effects complete the order: crackle of machine guns, booming cannon shots and the howling of downed Messers very plausible and literally knocked down. But the voice carried on a firm "deuce".

In Ubisoft able to save on small things, now we are quite sure of this. But in the end, again, the game turned out to be surprisingly good. Yes, completely devoid of originality, sometimes nudnovatoy, but nonetheless worthy of attention by those who are close to "Airplane" genre, and who is not into deep melancholy at the mention of another project on WWII.
