They actually have an arcade version of this. It's similar to the console version, but you have a throttle and levers and stuff on your sides. Actually using plane-like controls is pretty cool.
I played the first one on my original Xbox and it was a pretty decent title for the time if a little fuzzy due to the overdone screen blur. Even with component it's a bit fuzzy to look at. I later played it on my PS3 via HDMI and it's a lot sharper. The Xbox did basically all the fireworks just at low resolution. Along with CoD3 and SWBF2 it was a neat little swansong for the Xbox, but kind of a meh title to introduce the PS3 and 360.
Lord Karnage your reviews are great..I just brought this second hand cheap and quickly checked out ur review happens alot with old games you have most things covered..Trying to collect all the flight games on 360 atm
i got them both on ps3 and the good thing about blazing angles 1 compared to the pc version, on the ps3 version theres 2 more missions added to the game, battle of new georgia and preemptive strike
Nice review, the original blazing angels was heavily criticised for it's voice acting, not because ti was bad, but because it was stereotyping bordering on blatant racism.
Hands down no doubt about it IL2 Strumovik, a way better polished title and much more realistic (Which isn't always a good thing, but if you're into combat sims you will love this game). But you can always set it to arcade settings so it has best of both worlds.
The fact that this seems to be a WWII version of Ace Combat is what appeals to me, as I thought I'd try something that's just a lot of fun! Birds of Steel sounds good though, I wish I hadn't bought IL2 BOP and got Birds Of Steel instead.....
To clear up any confusion, some of the comments here are referring to the "Lord Karnage code", which may or may not have been removed, (it's Space Gar 482XX, by the way), which was to be e-mailed to Mark to win a contest. Problem is it's long over, and the video announcing it didn't show up in most people's subscriptions. Hope that helps.
There are true flight simulation games out there, They just aren't being made in a large number anymore which is a shame since a lot of them are getting to be quite dated now and rely on their modding communities as their life support.
I'm playing Pacific Warriors 2 for PC these days and even it's a little bit older, it's very simillar in gameplay to this one. Of course graphics are not that pretty, but it's still a fun game to play, you can play as american or japanese and you have about 24 missions on each side. I mentioned it for the PC players who might want a taste of an older (but still quite fun) arcade flight game.
the world map at 1:37 makes a couple omissions, at least that's what I want to believe otherwise they have no idea of WW2 european map, most noticeable in the Black sea area and next to spain where's no portugal.
Very Crimson Skies looking. Especially with that zeplin. Shame that crimson skies won't work on my new pc. Not a bad looking game though Blazing Angels.
@@Slayer44556 looks good :) I’m not sure if this is the game I saw at the retro store lol it’s in my upcoming video lol I have yet to edit lol I filmed it today lol it has a jet on the cover by Ubisoft.
I remeber playing After Burner back in the late 80's! It was the same concept you're talking about, it's graphics and sound where awesome for the time, you where in a cokpit that moved. Before that I think there was an Arcade Star wars game you flew in. I was four or five when I played that. I havent seen anything impress me like After Burner in terms of an actual cockpit.
Well I consider the full real battle's pretty realistic since you can only see enemy aircraft and you need to play with a flight stick. The simulation in full real battles itself also isn't bad it feels and looks very realistic.
Thanks for the information, I'll be buying that soon. This new IL-2 based on the Rise of Flight engine sounds interesting, I definitely be following its progress.
The gladiator is in the game, you've just got to do really well in the first mission to unlock it. I've tried twice and only just failed, It's a real pain in the arse.
because game developers make what they know will appeal to the largest audience possible. That is why Call of Duty is a thing, because its stupid fun that everyone can just pick up and play. While a lot of people want small niche games like a true flight simulation on xbox, developers are still a company that needs to make money, and they have seen that a game like that wouldnt sell enough to where that company can still make money.
true m8 , but it also depends on what controle type u r used too. i Have a PS2 , but i play mostly on my PC (L4D,C&C...) cuz i am used too the mouse & keyboard controls. in any Case , i think most games look better on a PC , that is , if u have a kick-ass PC :)
The console crowd also don't want simulation. They only want constant action, arcade, no simulation, no realism. That is why I play PC. Actual simulation, physics etc. PC Master Race.
It'd be cool if they created a popular game with multiplayer where you could get on a squadron and battle other squadrons like 5v5 and your squadron leader could order you to focus your fire on his choosen target or protect someone or something (maybe protect the Bombers !!) and you could get recruited then by other squadrons... ahh man it sounds cool
Plus the problem is 99% of gamers are of the casual type, they stick to a game for maybe a month and then throw it back into the shelf and needless to say most of them are helplessly overwhelmed when having to controll a somewhat realistically modelled aircraft when they are used to such gravity defying UFOs as seen in Blazing Angels, etc. I'm currently flying both in IL-2 Cliffs of Dover and Rise of Flight, both of which are high end flight sims and they just have tiny communities :(
I know it's an Iron Cross. But it's obvious there's supposed to be a swastika there. You can see the white circle behind it with the red background. Anyway, this is why I play IL-2 1946...
I suppose so, the simulators I've already played have been modern aircraft, so I guess wind isn't as much of a factor in those. One thing though; I don't have a joystick, do you think it would still be possible to enjoy those modes with a normal controller?
So sitting at a desk in a office chair using a keyboard is better than a game console where you can play on a big screen/souround sound, sit anywhere and have a designated controller? You don't have the hastle of upgrading a graphics card that constantly goes obsolite.
omg ive been playing the old school crimson skies on my pc... i was doing a walkthrough on it but i got stuck on the infamous hoplite level and now i can only dream of them remaking it in current gen. imagine how awesome the setting would be with all the dieselpunk inspired buildings and vehichles squeal* too bad they gave up on it >:(
Definitely agree with you, I've played Rise of Flight which is one of the most graphically beautiful games I've ever played and I hope to get it again. I've yet to play IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, I delayed on buying it because I heard that it had problems on release, What's it like now?
@celestiall yeah that would be great.but its kinna impossible to make german airforce winning the war unless were talking about changing the history.^_^
That's not a plus sign, that's an Iron Cross. It was the symbol of the Wehrmacht. Lots of World War II games, usually in countries where Nazi symbols are banned, use it in place of the swastika.
With the last patch (literally, theres no more to come) it is very playable but unfortunately the entire series based on the CoD engine has been scrapped and the dev team fired. 777 Studios (developers of RoF) have just recently started work on a new part in the IL-2 series based on the Rise of Flight engine. Needless to say it will not in any way be compatible with CoD and one will have to say how it turns out, it is supposed to be released in early 2014!
They actually have an arcade version of this. It's similar to the console version, but you have a throttle and levers and stuff on your sides. Actually using plane-like controls is pretty cool.
Namco needs to make an Ace Combat like this.
Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces might be what you're looking for. It's not Ace Combat, but it's also made by Project Aces.
i still play this one on PC to this day. its fun if you want to customize your aircraft skins.

About to start this on Xbox 360. WooHoo!!! 😀👍
I can't believe they let you fly a plane specifically made to crash into things...I'm getting this game.
Gotta say the Gameplay and voice commentary are very good and clean for 2008
Jdm 2000 i think she was talking about the video. Not the game
Lord Karnage your reviews are great..I just brought this second hand cheap and quickly checked out ur review happens alot with old games you have most things covered..Trying to collect all the flight games on 360 atm
All in all, a really great game.
I have completed the game 5 or 7 times, and i still enjoy, retaking all the missions XD.
which one is better 1 or 2?
i got them both on ps3 and the good thing about blazing angles 1 compared to the pc version, on the ps3 version theres 2 more missions added to the game, battle of new georgia and preemptive strike
I like that this review, IL-2 Sturmovik, and the Ace Combat 2 review all kick off with the plane crashing violently into the ground.
No Lag here viewing in HD! looks great and sounds great too. thanks for posting this review Mark! no Stella shots lately eh?
Na
Nice review, the original blazing angels was heavily criticised for it's voice acting, not because ti was bad, but because it was stereotyping bordering on blatant racism.
You can stall in the first one, It was cool to use stalling to your advantage in combat.
@duif463
I think you'll find that that's a DH Vampire. The Fokkjer G1 was a twin-engined prop aircratf, whilst the Vampire had a single jet engine.
I love your reviews, and they always keep coming. I like that.
Hands down no doubt about it IL2 Strumovik, a way better polished title and much more realistic (Which isn't always a good thing, but if you're into combat sims you will love this game). But you can always set it to arcade settings so it has best of both worlds.
I loved the twin mustang in the first one
what do u think lol player? first or second better? if u use ps3 maybe we can multiplayer
The fact that this seems to be a WWII version of Ace Combat is what appeals to me, as I thought I'd try something that's just a lot of fun! Birds of Steel sounds good though, I wish I hadn't bought IL2 BOP and got Birds Of Steel instead.....

yeh u can, type &fmt=18 after the stuff in the url.
@chaz3345 yes. But it will be much harder to pass the mission in cockpit view.
Now that I think of it, Blazing Angels does sort of sound like a Biker Gang but I still really like this game.
There are true flight simulation games out there, They just aren't being made in a large number anymore which is a shame since a lot of them are getting to be quite dated now and rely on their modding communities as their life support.
Thanks for the review. Looks much better than the Xbox original version. Pretty hard game to play. What to do...buy or pass?
Did you ever buy it
Those synchronized guns at 1:49 kick ass. :D
Thanks for the review saves me five hours download time at 6gb!
@avacado50 , yes there is

I liked the first BA but I was really bad at it. I might ask for it back from my friend and pick it up again.
the world map at 1:37 makes a couple omissions, at least that's what I want to believe otherwise they have no idea of WW2 european map, most noticeable in the Black sea area and next to spain where's no portugal.
I love that ending: "So seceret that they didnt even existed", great review, 5*, do they have it one any of ps?
Might pick this up just saw it at retro store
Can't wait to play the game!
yup same here, loads really quick and looks great
LOL love the opening where u crash just as u start i have experienced that
Very Crimson Skies looking. Especially with that zeplin. Shame that crimson skies won't work on my new pc. Not a bad looking game though Blazing Angels.
@Atemerus Kinect was not around in 2007 when this game out. And the word Angels is synonymous with biker gangs - Hells Angels - hello??
Looks like Mark was in a motorcycle gang, and you weren't. :D

Huh ? No HD for this video?
I even tried the "&fmt=18" trick, that didnt work either...
you hit select in the xbox 360 for cockpit
the first one had simulation flight controls, why would they take it out?
No cockpit view = fail!
Also i hate Arcadish style flying games, so i'll stick with IL2 on pc ^^.
Great review tough!
your vids are just the best seriously,tdu was so coooooooooool
Wow i got to hear this guy talk about the title of the game for the first minute and a half
The gladiator is in the game, you've just got to do really well in the first mission to unlock it. I've tried twice and only just failed, It's a real pain in the arse.
please someone!!!! Can you change view to first person? And is it like cockpit view?
I played the first one but never this one.

Heroes Of The Pacific for The TRUE Xbox owns this
if you like IL-2 you should try Birds of Steel. It's like IL-2 but a bit more polished.
this kind of reminds me of secret weapons over Normandy
Oh i want to try this one!
The console crowd also don't want simulation. They only want constant action, arcade, no simulation, no realism. That is why I play PC. Actual simulation, physics etc. PC Master Race.

why the flap's alway's down that will mess up your flight
Couldnt get past the "Paris" mission, so took it out of my console and threw it into my wall, destroying it in the process.. i was so bummed.

I'm currently flying both in IL-2 Cliffs of Dover and Rise of Flight, both of which are high end flight sims and they just have tiny communities :(
i want to by a memory-card with the game-dates. i cant finish the level with the german zeppelin. would anybody help me. for x-box360.
I know it's an Iron Cross. But it's obvious there's supposed to be a swastika there. You can see the white circle behind it with the red background.
Anyway, this is why I play IL-2 1946...
The Sky Crawlers on Wii was similar but waaaaay too short. Also try out Crimson skies
I suppose so, the simulators I've already played have been modern aircraft, so I guess wind isn't as much of a factor in those. One thing though; I don't have a joystick, do you think it would still be possible to enjoy those modes with a normal controller?
Whats the best plane fighter game to get for xbox online???
is there a way I can watch this in High Quality and not HD
i subbed its fun watching your reviews
So sitting at a desk in a office chair using a keyboard is better than a game console where you can play on a big screen/souround sound, sit anywhere and have a designated controller?
You don't have the hastle of upgrading a graphics card that constantly goes obsolite.
omg ive been playing the old school crimson skies on my pc... i was doing a walkthrough on it but i got stuck on the infamous hoplite level and now i can only dream of them remaking it in current gen. imagine how awesome the setting would be with all the dieselpunk inspired buildings and vehichles squeal* too bad they gave up on it >:(
Make a review of Wings of Prey.Its a WW 2 combat flight simulator.
blazing angels 1 is great on wii because the controles are like the remote is the plane
Definitely agree with you, I've played Rise of Flight which is one of the most graphically beautiful games I've ever played and I hope to get it again. I've yet to play IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, I delayed on buying it because I heard that it had problems on release, What's it like now?
thanks
@celestiall yeah that would be great.but its kinna impossible to make german airforce winning the war unless were talking about changing the history.^_^
Where on internet I can buy this game with normal price? (PC version)
This game looks pretty much EXACTLY like Secret Weapons Over Normandy.
I am sure this was an inspiration for War Thunder
That's not a plus sign, that's an Iron Cross. It was the symbol of the Wehrmacht. Lots of World War II games, usually in countries where Nazi symbols are banned, use it in place of the swastika.
I think the guys who made blazing angels need to make a fighter sim... it would beat the shit out of ace combat.
Many people still consider War Thunder to be Arcade-like compared to the IL Sturmovik Series
4:42 you are in Lulea in sweden in that mission, but it dosent look like that, its not ice everywhere, i live in the city under Lulea so i shold know
is this the best fighter ace to get for xbox?
