Jeff Gerstmann gives you the low down on Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII.

Good multiplayer options; especially for team games; Sharp-looking environments

Dull mission objectives; Easy dogfights; Downright offensive enemy voice acting

Looking back on games is a notoriously unreliable exercise, even for reviewers who've penned hundreds of critiques. If you love a game to bits, it's only natural to defend its faults and gloss over the problems you encountered.

Snoopy beat the Red Baron. If a small white dog flying a doghouse can do it, what's stopping you from having a go

When it comes to gaming, it seems like 1917-1948 have given us no shortage of material. I'm guessing when the majority of the earth is at war, you may find yourself with a few compelling topics.
