reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. It was criticized for its repetitive gameplay, sluggish controls and bland graphics, though it was appreciated for its 'epic' and 'realistic' feel, most of which were dealt with in the sequel, Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of two sevens, one six, and one seven for a total of 27 out of 40. Detroit Free Press gave the Xbox 360 version a score of two stars out of four and said: "History buffs and simulation junkies might find Blazing Angels uplifting for its period lessons. But give me the fantasy worlds of Crimson Skies instead, with its pirates and weird zeppelins, and I'll be a happier flying ace". The Sydney Morning Herald similarly gave the same console version two-and-a-half stars out of five along with the Xbox and PC versions: "The only thing blazing will be the tail section of your plane and your fragile patience". The A.V. Club gave the Xbox and Xbox 360 versions a C, saying that they are "recommended only to Xbox Live subscribers or kids with half-assed history papers due tomorrow".
