Critic Reviews
We take to the skies with World of Warplanes
World of Warplanes is flying in familiar skies as World of Tanks launched in a similar state - a solid foundation on which Wargaming built the most successful MMOs in existence. From beautiful airplane models and solid sound work, to a very accessible flight model that works for any skill level, World of Warplanes is a worthy successor for Wargaming’s stable of titles. It does need a bit more time in the hangar, but you can’t beat the price of entry.
