What Parents Need to Know
About Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
Parents need to know this World War II aerial combat simulation lets players shoot down enemy aircraft and drop bombs on bases and tanks. It's not graphic, but violence is the core game-play component. Parents may prefer the kind of war-based conflict in this game over games played from a more immersive and graphic first-person perspective, such as Call of Duty 3.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the events presented in this game took place in real life during World War II, where millions of soldiers and innocent civilians lost their lives. Does playing this game make history seem more real and immediate? Is there a negative side to this type of entertainment -- can a game like this trivialize the memory of this war? Why or why not? What can we get out of the study of history? How can studying WWII help us in conflicts today?

Great simulator
This game is a great sim on the front of WWII like in Dunkirk, Pearl Harbor, Midway, Berlin, and London to name a few. It gives good historical information but your player is blowing up a LOT of enemy aircraft, but will no blood or gore and stuff like that.However, swearing is a small issue, with words like "Sneaky son of a b***h" or "what the h**l? They are shooting civilians!" or "son of a b***h is gonna pay" to name a few. Most of them are small and are the d word, b word, or another quote, "Dirty b*****ds. Lookit this.. Look at pearl harbor.." However very strong language is not named. All i have to say is its good historical entertainment, just make sure your kid wont swear.

Cool
This is the best air-combat game I've played before, I usually try to stay away from this type of game in fact. But when I say the game demo, I had to try it. After I had tried that I was amazed at it, I just had to get it. Fight agaisnt jets, ships, and even zepplins in this action packed game.

Fun at first

Fun
I think you need to know your kid before deciding to let them play this. Make sure you look at this before you let your kid play. It's fun to have targets moving in the sky. It's sometimes challenging. Sometimes it can tell you some history. This is a fun game and I think it's a lot of fun.
