Game Information
Release Date: September 7th 2007
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Platform: Cross
Rating: T
Genre: Flight Combat


Synopsis
During World war 2, people always wondered which side of the war had the most power, or who had the biggest weapons, and what not. Blazing Angels 2, Secret missions of WWII delivers this conspiracy theory in stopping various countries from producing mass weapons of destruction. To end the war, and get back home, you must battle throughout NAZI Germany, struggling for survival, taking on various flight combats to get there. Being a sequel to Blazing Angels 1, it does not continue the story of the angels of Dunrik.




Story
Blazing Angels 2 takes on the role of Captain Robinson, a pilot who works for an air show in flying the plane. As you enter the game in the air show, flying through different loops and what not. When you complete this mission, you then flashback to NAZI Germany, flying through airfields with your close assistant, clearing out the airfield. The game progresses through various exotic places around the world, figuring out the secrets to Nazi Germany and destroying all progress of developing a weapon of mass destruction. You face various enemies, take on various planes, weapons, and certain bad-guys. The game also progresses through flashbacks, and certain memories of Captain Robinson, the main character.




Graphics
Blazing Angels 2 takes on the same graphics engine and design as Blazing Angels one. Although the graphics from Blazing Angels 1 ran smoothly, and productively, it seems as if the graphics have fell backwards if anything. Missile launches are not as smooth, explosions are corny, gun shots and patterns take on the same as the last game, and overall this game's graphics did not improve, if anything, fell backwards from the last game. Although some of the graphics do fault, there are brand new camera feature modes which improve my opinion on the game drastically. When locking onto enemies, the camera follows its patterns in a swift and clean camera movement. Also, the scenario is nicely designed, and better than the first Blazing Angels. Although a lot of the graphics faulted from the last game, there were some improvements, including the wide scenarios.

Gameplay
In Blazing Angels 1, gameplay was extremely faulted and caused its downfall in the game. As expected, the sequel improves gameplay drastically. New counters, tickers, and shooting engines have been improved as well. The player is also given a format of their plane and when it is damaged, it indicates it on whatever spot was hit. Gameplay has also improved on its aspects of weapons and missions styles. Missions are better planned, and are unique. Some missions are not completely seperate and bipolar from the other mission in this game. There are now a variety of missions, and different enemies, including flaks, tanks, trucks, and of course, planes. Commands are also improved, as commanding your squadron to do certain things are better sorted and easier to do. Blazing Angels 2 delivers quite a satisfactory way of killing enemies, as it is more unique and there are various explosions styles, rather than the past games.
