4.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Fight the Huns again!, July 19, 2002

I played this game on the Amiga when it first came out and loved it. The gameplay is story based and simple enough for anyone to manage. Even an absolute novice will still get many levels into the game but only the masters need apply to the deeper levels of the game...Mixing 1st person cockpit and 3rd person bombing runs, you fight your way through WW1 in a bi-plane. That darn GBA screen is the only drawback to this release. Hopefully, the screens will be bright enough to avoid the squint. If you like flight or want an action/adventure to keep you busy than get this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great WWI flight simulator, April 9, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Wings (Video Game)

Wings is a great WWI dogfight game, and probably the only one for the Game Boy. It consists of two lengthy campaigns, one as a British pilot, and another as a German pilot. Each campaign consists of a series of missions (dogfighting, bombing, and strafing) tied together by a story- presented with movies and diary entries, which moves the game along and gives the game a great historical atmosphere.

The gameplay itself is very fun and addictive, with good graphics and easy to learn controls. Also, it's educational- I think I've learned more about WWI playing this game than I did in school! In any case, it's a pretty cool game. Apparently it's an adaption of an old computer game. Now what we really need is an Game Boy version of Sword of the Samurai or Pirates Gold!

If you are looking for a fun WW1 aircraft simulator, this should keep you hooked for a while.

The original on the Amiga is very well carried over to the GBA. A number of improvements also - much better bombing and strafing missions which are harder and more controlable. The majority of the missions will be flying (the best type) and you can toggle views (thankfully) so you are not constricted by the default behind cockpit view. You can chose an allied or German campaign to play which is also a nice new feature.

Yes there could have been weather and lighting changes (but to be honest, it would make viewing the screen harder than it already is for this game)

A really good smooth flowing game keeping you interested in the ever developing (true) storyline.

Get hold of a copy of this great dogfighting/WW1 simulator.
