This exciting air combat shooter brings the heroic actions of the RAF to the DS with intuitive flight mechanics, devious enemy pilots, and wireless support for up to four players. Players fly for the Royal Air Force through missions based on real events that shaped the outcome of the war.

Exciting Mission-Based Gameplay: Enter into frenzied dogfights with German fighters, strafe columns of enemy tanks, cover the evacuation of Allied troops, knock buzz bombs out of the sky with a tip of your wing and more in an expansive campaign that recreates some of the most famous battles of the war.

Gamervision

A decidedly capable arcade-style flyer that’s a bit short on content, but big on tight gameplay and challenge. If you can find someone to play the multiplayer modes with, you’ll be better served by this title, but the singe-player campaign is well worth playing as well.

Gaming Nexus

Like most of Destineer's other games, this is a niche title for a specific group of people. If you're one of those people then it probably doesn't matter what I say about Spitfire Heroes!

Game Chronicles

Unless you like flight simulators, you may want to avoid this game. And even if you do, you may not want to pay the full price tag.

IGN

It handles well enough, and the missions provide a hefty amount of challenge, but it's ultimately repetitive and short.

My Gamer

Spitfire Heroes: Tales of the Royal Air Force starts in the right direction with tight play control, but suffers from a high difficultly factor and empty/plain environments.

And the environments! Catastrophically dull. [July 2008, p.72]

GameSpot

Spitfire Heroes does little to distinguish itself among a myriad of middling flight combat games on the DS.

Worth Playing

The idea itself is solid, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Armchair Empire

The developers might have had their hearts in the right place, but the DS platform is just not the right way to go for what they might have been trying to accomplish. Spitfire Heroes buys the farm on this sortie.

Spitfire Heroes’ gameplay can be confusing and annoying all at once.
