Video Gaming News - May 2005
San Francisco, CA (May 12, 2005) - Today Ubisoft announced a new
flight combat game, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, exclusive to the Xbox.
From Ubisoft:
From Western Europe to the Pacific, players test their air-combat skills as
they experience the most famous battles of World War II. As a squadron leader,
the player can fly up to 40 WWII aircraft in both single-player and multiplayer
missions.
“Ace pilots were a crucial part of our victory in WWII, and Blazing Angels
allows flight-combat fans to experience the tension and sheer thrill of airborne
combat in some of history’s most famous battles,” said Tony Kee, vice president
of marketing at Ubisoft. “Arcade gameplay and cinematic effects deliver an
adrenaline rush, while a wide range of legendary planes lets daredevil flyers
choose their favorite aircraft for solo missions or intense dogfights on Xbox
Live.”
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII features innovative squadron-based combat, in
which each AI-wingman’s specialized skill can be used to the pilot’s advantage.
During the course of the 20-mission campaign, players will evolve along with
their wingmen into an ace fighting force. Spectacular graphics enhance the
combat experience in true WWII battle sites such as England, Germany, France,
Morocco, Pearl Harbor, Midway and Tokyo. The heroic storyline that follows the
evolution of a single squadron and the cinematic presentation create moments
reminiscent of favorite WWII movies. Pilots fly in close to Germany’s industrial
terrain during a bombing raid or emerge from the fog and cloud cover over London
to engage the enemy. Up to 16 players online can engage over Xbox Live in
head-to-head dogfights or cooperative team play between squadrons.
