Yesterday I was walking through a store and my eye caught a video game box with a Vampire on it…taking hits from a pursueing German Horton-type blended wing fighter over a mid-east or North African city.
It’s called Blazing Angels 2, and a quick look at the box shows Spitfires and Tempests attacking a huge Zeppelin over Cairo and a Do-335.
Appearently, its a mix of tradional video game stuff, but with some of the “what if” planes of WWII.
I don’t play video games, but it looks interesting. Anyone here know more about it?

Its like Daz says, a mix & match of various aircraft and missions. I’m not that much of a gamer but found this one very “crowded” on screen and no single player game other than the missions. You can (for example) play co-op games or challenge somebody else in a range of exotic types.
On the missions, you (cue laughter) land a Hurricane on a train so your secret agent passenger can get out. Later, over Cairo you take on swarms of bombers, then attack parachuted supplies, then move onto a massive Zeppelin which air launches Me-109’s……:eek:
Mind you, I am, and have been stuck on the same level on “BA-1” for far too long now…..

I haven’t got it, but I have got the first one on the X-Box and Wii. Arcade-style fun with some nice graphics and some devious little missions.
I suspect, from what you’re describing, that BA2 is a mix of the above and Secret Weapons Over Normandy, which introduced a certain “what if” element to the historical events in the game.
Great fun, though.
