Summary
Battle of Britain 2 Wings of Victory recreates the fierce and famous air battles southern England in 1940. The game delivers explosive fun for veteran and casual gamers alike, and occurs over a vast and living world below which will be forever known as one the world’s most decisive moments in history. The simulation allows the player to either act as the supreme commander of either side, or simply click “fly” and let your generals manage the war below. As commander, you can control the war down to a single aircraft or building in a world where thousands upon thousands battle for supremacy. Thousands of targets including every plane, factory, airfield, and radar station have a specific role and impact on the progress of the war below. As the enormous campaign plays out below, you will observe both allied and enemy flights carrying out their daily missions. You can take your commanders hat off and jump in the cockpit of the British Hurricane, Spitfire, German Messerschmitt, Stuka dive bomber, or man the gunstations of the Dornier Do17, Heinkel He111, and Ju-88 level bombers. As a pilot, all you need to do is destroy the enemy when you can and get you and your comrades home alive. [GMX Media]

PC Gameworld
An excellent hardcore simulation for the air combat enthusiast, especially one with an appreciation for history.
Read Full Review >PC Gamer
Battle of Britain II's enhanced stability and updated graphics are compelling enough on their own, but when you toss in a 140-page printed manual and a bonus 52-minute "Battle of Britain" DVD, that $50 game box starts to look even better. [Oct 2005, p.66]
IGN
The dynamic strategic campaign is simply brilliant but the lack of a developing career mode keeps you from becoming too invested in the actual aerial action.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
Battle of Britain 2 does a good job of making you feel part of one of the most decisive campaigns the free world has ever known. But it still allows you to display your cocky side when you mix it up solo style.

Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory waits for a patch to make it steadier. A great campaign system and a very interesting flight model provide lots of good single player action. [Oct 2005]
Computer Games Magazine
Quotation forthcoming. [Jan 2005]
Computer Gaming World
Here in beats the heart of a classic.but casual simmers should wait and see if patches fix the problems.

Until the bugs are squashed, Eurogamer cant recommend Wings Of Victory to anyone but wealthy sim completists with a gambling streak.

Biles T. gave it a9:
Crashed when I installed it. I then patched it. It does not crash now. Modable. See the web site. Lots of support offered. Already a community that cares. The wargame contained in the game is tough. Well done. (I thought IL-2 [all flavours] sucked bad. Funny that) I can get acceptable frame rates even when in the midst of massive fleets of bombers and fighters whizzing all over.
Shwan S. gave it a1:
I hoped that release of BoB II will defeat Pacific Fighters... Unfortunately this sim crash too often and the graphics isn't far from CFS 3. So I rate it with a 1. Sorry... :(
Brian S. gave it a0:
I want my money back, the code has more bugs than than a dead donkey and to release it in this unplayable state borders on the unscrupulous - I feel I have been conned and will never endorse or buy anything else from them. DO NOT BUY IT
Oreste T. gave it a4:
Although the game general approach is rather good, it is completely unusable due to frequent crashes. The developing company is a very low quality one.
Andy H. gave it a0:
What a load of rubbish. Doesn't work properly with any of my joysticks (I have 11), over-complicated control set, hangs a lot, looks old-fashioned even on a HD CAD monitor. Avoid.
Phil P. gave it a7:
This ain't definatly BoBII, but BoB 1.5... Gee, at least they should complete the freaking game, not to mention the crashes and bugs.
James gave it a0:
Crashy Crash Crash, Very Poor.
