WWII Aces - Wii Game (Retro Fam)

Light em up boys!

Take control of some of the best combat aircraft in WWII in this excellent arcade-style shoot em up. This is not a flight simulator, as the aircraft are relatively easy to fly and control. The trick is to keep your wits about you, fly like crazy, keep manoeuvring at all times, keep your eyes peeled, and keep shooting as enemy aircraft whizz past intent on shooting you down. With a general scenario that leads you through the war, you can take the sides of the Brits, Germans or Russians, which puts a different spin on things as you master one side and then switch to another. The odds tend to be stacked against you in the dogfights, but then that was what things were like for the Brits in the Battle of Britain! All in all, great fun, using the Wii controller to good effect!

Great Game!My boyfriend likes it even more than I do! :)Lots of high flying fun! :)retrolio service was great too! :)

WWII Aces has a cheat that makes the game playable and fun. That cheat is to hold down the slow motion button. You can play through any campaign challenge while holding down the slow motion button and the game does not mind or penalize you for it. In normal game speed the enemy aircraft is faster and more maneuverable than the player's aircraft. In slow motion the player's plane is faster and more maneuverable than the enemy aircraft and the enemy ground fire. Playing the campaign challenges in slow motion is a whole different game and really fun! You can not win the campaign challenges at normal speed because you are overwhelmed by an enemy that is faster and more maneuverable than you can possibly be which everybody agrees is what makes the game unplayable. But in slow motion once you learn how to fly the plane you are the master and the game is really fun.

The grand kids love it.
