Blazing Angels: Secret Missions of WWII
Subject of WWII, many years nursed the gaming industry, is gradually losing its former popularity. Whether fantasy writers gradually petered out, whether users tired of the tenth once chasing the Nazis at El Alamein - but a variety of shooters, strategy, and flight simulation on the appropriate "historical" foundation out now increasingly rare. However, until publisher Ubisoft, whose most savvy employees fell in the unequal struggle with rabbits, not a quick shot through the winds of change.

Flight of fancy

Subtitle Secret Missions of WWII in the name of the new project already suggests - a historical accuracy in Blazing Angels 2, if not sent to the reserve, then, in any case, markedly reduced in rank. The protagonist, a man named Captain Robinson, an American by birth, became commander of an elite squadron, tasked with the implementation of the most difficult and dangerous operations against the Third Reich. According to the scenario, trust Hitler finally blossomed - and so far the main fronts raging bloody battles, the German scholars secretly working on a variety of secret technologies to change the course of the war in the most radical way. The newest aircraft, terrible installation "Judgement Day", the incredible power generators - all this must be just about money, and only through the efforts of Robinson and his comrades manage to stop the Nazi proclivities.

Missions in the game, big set - and not always you have to spoil the life of the best minds in Germany. There is a story campaign and quite standard tasks - for example, to stop the wave of enemy bombers, or, conversely, to lose a couple of charges on enemy territory. From time to time will also act as guards, scouts, and even shaped kamikaze, almost single-handedly snaking their way behind enemy lines. Finally, it is not without its battles with the bosses, like "spitting" aircraft giant zeppelin endowed (there they are, advanced technologies the Nazis!) Is simply incredible strength.Incidentally, among other things, there's even a mission in Moscow - not by the established science of reasons, the capitalist sharks of the sky trust to defend the holy of holies of the USSR, Red Square!

The repetition of old mistakes

Remember, the first Blazing Angels We zhurili for too low a level of difficulty - even the aces of the enemy were not able to give us a decent resistance. Has the situation in Blazing Angels 2? Not at all! Enemies are still confused rushing around you and your teammates, competing, who is slimmer necks in the queue. But with the advent of various auxiliary weapons like homing missiles, killing the foe from the not too exciting, but pert and fun turns into an ordinary routine, where the quality has given way to quantity.

Almost no change and management - the right trigger still responsible for the main weapon and the right Shift - for support. Pointing to objects by using the left trigger, or, in some situations, the left Shift. Various maneuvers and pirouettes are performed without any difficulties, benefit from all possible allusions to the reality of Blazing Angels got rid of even at the time of his own debut.

Look nice, but the reason for the excitement will not find - the tea is not Ace Combat 6.

As to the sound, then it seems to have decided to save. Catchy musical theme is only one - and remembered it only because they have to listen to it constantly. Characters talk a lot and willingly, but something is still confusing. First, the votes of the majority of heroes suspiciously similar, and secondly, the Germans and the Japanese prefer to communicate exclusively in English. It is true that distorts the language of Shakespeare while mercilessly - perhaps we are dealing with some clever propaganda move, the essence of which remained unclear.
