Blazing Angels vs Heatseeker - (22nd March 2007)

[wii_man76]

I haven't played a flight sim type game since I was at school where we had 386 CPU based computers (now I really am showing my age)!

So when I saw that Blazing Angels was being released on the Wii at the end of the month I began to get excited at the thought of using the Wii controller(s) to play this type of game.

It has come to my attention that another game call Heatseeker is also due out around the same time!

My question to you guys is quite simple, which game do you think I should buy?

What are your initial thoughts (if any) on both these games?

wait for pilotwings

[wii_man76]

I can't see a release date for Pilotwings - any ideas?

The two that I mentio are (aledgedly) due out on the 30th of this month but as I can't find a release date for the one you suggest, I suspect it wont be that soon...

Why not buy both, then, when you've given us your fantastic reviews, you can then trade them in for Pilotwings and do the same!!

Just an idea ???

Heatseeker. Looks like a helluvalot more fun (check out the latest vids at ign).

Blazing Angels is a port that is a)made by Ubisoft b)has no multiplayer.

I may well get both but first priority would go to Heatseeker for me (along with paper mario and mercury meltdown)

Take it from a fellow RD fan Heatseeker will be the one to choose. I've seen the vids and it looks great compared to ba, which would only have been a priority for me, had Ninty allowed Ubisoft to incorporate Online play.

Tr!toch, from what I have heard so far Heatseeker is going to be the one for me!

godlike - as for buying both games, do you think I am made of money? Perhaps I could buy one and you buy the other and then we could swap games to see what the other one is like??

To be honest with you, the games made by Nintendo are worth Getting. e.g. Zelda, WarioWare, Heatseeker Excite Truck etc. The ones made by Ubisoft are never really impressive. e.g. GT Pro Series (after using the steering wheel alot, it's becoming a boring game), Monster 4x4, FarCry, Open Season, Red Steel etc.

I'm going to buy Excite Truck today, because I only just thought about what has been written above

I agree with you on this point. I am too becoming bored with GR Pro Series as the novelty of the steering wheel adaptor has started to wear off. I think a trip to CEX at the weekend is in order to exchange the game while it still has some value...

I'm going to go for Heatseeker, nRevolution gave it a big thumbs up in their last issue
