Blazing Angels [PS3]

cover

Taking the historic WWII simulation in a different direction, this game's all about the battle in the sky, insead of on the ground. After the obligatory flying, shooting and bombing training, the action starts right away with you defending a bridge from enemy bombers. The game plays up the interaction and commeraderie between pilots through radio chatter and the use of wingmen, who you can assign rules of engagement to. A good selection of planes and various multiplayer modes add depth and you can also fly by tilting the controller for more challenge. [8/10]
