 Excellent arcade shoot em up January 3, 2009
Chris Greenfield (Salisbury, England)
Take control of some of the best combat aircraft in WWII in this excellent arcade-style shoot em up. This is not a flight simulator, as the aircraft are relatively easy to fly and control. The trick is to keep your wits about you, fly like crazy, keep manoeuvring at all times, keep your eyes peeled, and keep shooting as enemy aircraft whizz past intent on shooting you down. With a general scenario that leads you through the war, you can take the sides of the Brits, Germans or Russians, which puts a different spin on things as you master one side and then switch to another. The odds tend to be stacked against you in the dogfights, but then that was what things were like for the Brits in the Battle of Britain! All in all, great fun, using the Wii controller to good effect!
 It's Ok, but surely any pilot in WWII had to fight against too many planes at the same time June 13, 2008

There must be better ways in the design of this game to put it hard to play instead of puting so many planes (like flys) against one which is not very real. The battle of England was the hardest the british fought in WWII and it was one british plane against 4 germans. In this game is one plane in the middle of hundred of flys. It could be more real to fight against few very skilled pilots instead of many and many which is impossible to know who is who and where their fire comes from.
The way you handle the plane is more or less real but they should put the players to take off the planes controlling speed and aceleration like with a real plane.
