This is one game that I'm glad we brought and received on time for Christmas. My son truly enjoys playing this PS3 game.
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.

I got this game with the hope that this would be a showcase of the new PS3 controller. However it was sloppy at first and the graphics could have been much better. I was not impressed with this game. I would rent it first before you buy it.
Decent game --- poor combat simulator February 10, 2007

First the good news --- the graphics are excellent, both the planes and the ground scenery, probably the best yet on a PS3 in 1080i or 1080p.
The bad news (for me) was that it's not a combat flight simulator like I'm used to (Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 2 and 3, Pacific Air War, Forgotten Battles, etc.). There is no opportunity to fly the planes except on a mission, so you can't get proficient in flying them. Flight modeling is definitely arcade style like flying a Star Wars fighter. Even the artificial intelligence planes such as wingmen and enemy do things that are aerodynamically impossible. There is no ballistics in gunnery such as bullet drop, so aiming is directly at the erratically-moving targets. Only a few of the cockpit gauges are functional, though the views are good.
The net result is that for gamers, it's pretty good entertainment. For pilots and flight simmers it will be a big disappointment, especially for the [...]list price.

After 15 min of playing the game it all becoms kind of repeating and even boring. More over the game is not using fully PS3 hardware so I would rate grpahic rather poor...
