 Great WWI flight simulator April 10, 2006

Wings is a great WWI dogfight game, and probably the only one for the Game Boy. It consists of two lengthy campaigns, one as a British pilot, and another as a German pilot. Each campaign consists of a series of missions (dogfighting, bombing, and strafing) tied together by a story- presented with movies and diary entries, which moves the game along and gives the game a great historical atmosphere.
The gameplay itself is very fun and addictive, with good graphics and easy to learn controls. Also, it's educational- I think I've learned more about WWI playing this game than I did in school! In any case, it's a pretty cool game. Apparently it's an adaption of an old computer game. Now what we really need is an Game Boy version of Sword of the Samurai or Pirates Gold!
Great conversion from Amiga April 9, 2005

If you are looking for a fun WW1 aircraft simulator, this should keep you hooked for a while.
The original on the Amiga is very well carried over to the GBA. A number of improvements also - much better bombing and strafing missions which are harder and more controlable. The majority of the missions will be flying (the best type) and you can toggle views (thankfully) so you are not constricted by the default behind cockpit view. You can chose an allied or German campaign to play which is also a nice new feature.
Yes there could have been weather and lighting changes (but to be honest, it would make viewing the screen harder than it already is for this game)
A really good smooth flowing game keeping you interested in the ever developing (true) storyline.
Get hold of a copy of this great dogfighting/WW1 simulator.
 Wings is one of the best games ever!!! March 18, 2003

I've gotten into the Amiga version of this game like no other. I even bought the 1927 movie. Everyone who likes dogfighting should get this game!
My favorite dogfight sim ever... March 15, 2003

This was perhaps my favorite game on the Commodore Amiga. Its awesome on the GBA but I see a few minor flaws. One of my favorite things on the Amiga version was the different tunes that changed after each mission as you read the squadron journal. Also, the lighting condition doesn't seem to change. For example, in the Amiga version you had to patrol during different times of the day such as dawn or dusk. Another thing is that this version is difficult as its very easy to collide with another plane and get shot down. Some pilots even seem like they're trying to ram into you. The plane's control in strafing mode is very difficult unlike the Amiga version. I usually fail. Bombing mode is improved and awesome. Another improvement they've made is the option to play as the allies or the Germans. Please Cinemaware/Metro 3d make a Playstation 2 version of this game. Perhaps it could be made even more detailed with weather conditions and the choosing of different planes a la Red Baron for PC. I'd also like to see the classic missions back with the original tunes that I still remember vividly after 13 years!!

Its not the same missions as the original on the Amiga but its still alot of fun. And the enemy pilots are alot smarter too. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes aerial dogfighting games. One more thing u can choose which side you want to fight on, Allies or Germans!
