Blazing Angels is not too bad. You should try Heroes Over Europe if you want to play a truly bad flying game.

Im pretty sure HAWX 2 would give it a run for its money haha. Its just not upto xbox 360/PS3 standards. Its appaling. I say graphics were good... i take that back.

Having played the second mission (suprised i lasted that long...what a bore) i landed on the carrier (take off and landing are crap!! no fun in it) and as i landed it cuts into a little cut scene of you hitting the deck. Its a big close up of your plane (F35), and as you come to a halt its clear as day that your wheels dont even turn!! They are static. It stands out so bad also, and just ruins it.

Little things have wrecked it.

Its one of the worst demo's i've played.

So HAWX 2 is shit huh? Big supprise there. lol.

It would be awesome if an "Over-G or BoP like" game could tell a story of an Alternate universe were WWII continued into the 50's but with no nuclear weapons existing. We could have a 3 way war between Soviet Union , Linked forces of Japan and Germany, and the Alied.

We'd have Sabres and thunderjets with Hawker Hunters and De haviland Venoms, dogfighting against Mig15's which are covering their tu16 Badger bombers. Then suddenly some fictional messerschmitt jet (updated Me262's ?) and Jet powered Shinden fighters arrive and start shooting at everybody. lol

And P-80 Shooting Stars and MiG-17s to fly cover for MiG-15s.

But I'm curious how a German and Japanese Army would link up together, without going through Russia?

Also, they did before the war with Germany ended, have P-80 Shooting Stars stationed in England.

If the Germans had taken Suez canal, the middle east could then be taken. If japan was able to take India then they would have linked up with Germany and together would control the oil fields.

I love "what if" scenarios in history.

The Hawx 2 demo is now available to xbox silver members and I just tried it. Yes it does suck, but maybe not quite as bad as the first one LoL. On a scale of 1-10 I give this demo maybe a 3 (BoP gets a 9). I agree with the Foz, it does kinda remind me of Blazing Angels for some reason, even though the gameplay and control scheme are totally different.

Everyone who likes flight games should try this demo. You probably won't like it, but you should still try it

I wonder how a WWII with the same countries from WWII would go today... Russia and America allies... nuff said really.

Hawks 2 is the pits. Demo was dreadfull.

I got hold of the new Ace Combat on PSP and it's miles better. In fact it's one of the best aerial combat games I have played. You have to change control scheme to expert and unlock a couple of decent planes to get into it though. Here's a review
