Good visuals and great sound effects can't save this game from boring you to death and frusterating you.
The plot of blazing angels is pretty straight forward, you're an elite group of pilots known as the Angels of Dunkirk, or well, Blazing Angels. You'll start off in London fighting with the RAF against a German assualt. From there, you'll go to France, North Africa, and then to Pearl Harbor, then in teh Pacific at Midway, and then back to France, and then to Berlin. Plenty of missions and plenty of interesting important missions that you'll be able to take part in. Some of the level designs are horendous, and can be rather confusing, that and added with the bad camera design can get rather frusterating.
Graphics are pretty great at times, other times, it looks worse than a Wii game when it comes to ground and infantry animatioons are downright laughable. but landmarks are sharp and stunning. Other effects such as smoke from Pearl Harbor is well, passable and water looks pretty decent compared to some games. Plane models look great, however, for every great lking landmark, there's a thusand lesser looking half-assed buildings which look like a game from 2000. When a plane catches on fire, it still performs the same as a plane which isn't.
The best part about Blazing Angels is clearly the sound. The sound of the planes, and the sound of the constant machine gun fire of classic planes such as the P-51 is just instant awe. Of course there is other minor things that bring down the sound, such as the annoying chatter over the radio by Japanese and German pilots. Which they speak in English. And each comment is repeated many and many times, so many times in which you'll want to bang your head against the desk.
Overall -- Blazing Angels is a fair flying game on the Xbox 360. I would recommend other, much better flying games, such as Ace Combat. This game is merely just a rent it first type of situation.
