Ubisofts Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII Takes Flight on the Playstation3 System
Press Release
SAN FRANCISCO — November 6, 2007 — Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII has released, with exclusive features and gameplay for the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system, and is scheduled to arrive in retail stores in the U.S. this week. Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII is the follow-up to the squadron-based flight combat game Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII.
In Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII, you are the leader of Operation Wildcard, an undercover and elite squad of pilots secretly created by the American government. Your mission is to sabotage and destroy the Third Reich's evil plans to create a weapon of mass destruction. During this mission you and your team discover that the bad guys also have an elite team of their own. In an attempt to disarm the enemy, you engage in dramatic and movie-like spy missions in some of the world's most exotic locations, using experimental weapons and flying never-before-seen prototype aircraft.
The PLAYSTATION 3 system version includes exclusive content enhanced by the power and features of the platform:
- Innovative use of the SIXAXIS wireless controller: Experience a new sensation of flight. With four alternative control configurations, Blazing Angels will take full advantage of the motion sensor function/tilt feature. Players can easily maneuver the plane just by moving the SIXAXIS wireless controller. Arcade and Simulator modes are included, for both classic and motion-sensitive control.
- All-new multiplayer racing: Fly in a racing circuit while trying to navigate the natural terrain, avoid urban obstacles and other landmarks, and pull ahead of your opponents to be the first to cross the finish line.
- Other key features of Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII include:
- Over-the-top action: Engage in 18 high-stakes missions where you will bomb bridges, steal secret weapons, destroy Zeppelins and more.
- Never-before-seen aircraft: Pilot over 50 authentic planes and prototypes including the Gotha Go 229, DH Vampire F Mk 1, Me-163 "Komet," Meteor and many more.
- Unusual experimental weapons: Get the advantage in combat by using experimental WWII weapons including high-velocity cannons (such as the German Mk 103), and self-guided and TV-guided missiles.
- Exotic WWII setting: Engage in epic battles in some of the world's most captivating environments such as Cairo, the Himalayas, Moscow's Red Square, Rome's San Pietro's Cathedral, the Swiss Alps, the Baltic seacoast and China.
- Next-gen graphics: Discover fully rendered environments and 3D aircraft models designed for next-generation gaming. Experience improved depth of field, jaw-dropping cinematographic lightening and outstanding sound effects.
- Fast-paced multiplayer action: Challenge up to 15 players in free-for-all, co-op and squad-based missions, including the all-new Epic Battle and Capture the Flag modes.
- Epic boss battles: For example, go up against a giant German Zeppelin over the pyramids of Cairo. Take out its nine gun turrets while you expose its vulnerable underside.
