WWII Aces

WWII Aces Review


This game is really tough. I’ve logged a lot of hours playing it and I can’t get through all of the missions in easy mode. 2 Player dogfights are great though. If I could change anything about this game, I would reduce the number of enemy fighters to deal with during a mission or add more help. The CPU pilots on your side die pretty quick. I would also like the option of making it true to life by turning off the red and green arrows and squares that point out the enemy and friendly planes and vehicles. It would also be cool to have to takeoff and land your plane at the beginning and end of a the missions.

WWII Aces Feature

  • Unleash complex acrobatic flight tricks with your Wii Remote
  • Fly in over 70 historical WWII missions
  • 12 legendary planes with big guns
  • Head-to-head competitive split screen multiplayer

WWII Aces Overview

Guns blazing, the Messerschmitt Bf-109 screams through the clouds toward you. Instinctively you barrel-roll out of the way, hot lead missing your Spitfire by millimeters. You bank right, flank him and open fire!
