Just ran across this title (it just hit stores for Christmas) and while not too many of the flight games make the top scores there are still scores of dedicated joystick lovers who appreciate a good flight sim with some action. The initial graphics look promising, and we’ll wait to see how it goes. Its a PC only title but I found that most of the good flight games are computer vs trying to work with the controllers on a console.
Wings of Prey is based around the large-scale aerial combat and ground military operations of World War II. Players can participate in some of the war’s most famous battles piloting fighters, battle planes and bombers across a range of thrilling missions. There are six theatres of war to engage in – The Battle of Britain, Stalingrad, Ardennes, Berlin, Sicily and Korsun’ representing the main airborne battles of World War II in Europe.
Wings of Prey also boasts an all new damage effects engine as well as advanced environmental visuals enriching the game play. Wings of Prey features hundreds of airplanes taking part in air battles. The unique environmental engine also produces highly detailed, realistic landscapes that allow players to see breathtaking ground support actions.
