More on our last update of Ubisoft's Blazing Angels: Secret Missions; the game will now be officially released on the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360.

Highlights of the PS3 version include the use of the Sixaxis and a multiplayer mode for racing other planes. There will be three multiplayer modes available - Capture the Flag, Assault and Epic Battles - and will feature the use of power-ups. Two nice additional functions to the multiplayer feature: players can join in a multiplayer session already in progress, and players can also leave a session without affecting the game for others. The game will also feature a cooperative mode.

While the first game focused more on real historical battles, Secret Missions will be more cinematic and set in exotic locations. The developers improved greatly on graphics to make the game feel more like a Hollywood film. As the title suggests, you get to do covert missions around the world and will be doing it using an unusual prototype aircraft from the WWII era. Players will be taking the role of an American pilot with his own covert elite squad whose mission is to destroy the Third Reich's plans on making the ultimate doomsday weapon.

The game developers down at Ubisoft sounds like they had fun playing around with the planes players will be using, making it more James Bond-ish featuring an arsenal of cool gadgets and effects like blinding opponents from behind and trailing noxious smoke. The story revolves around the enemy trying to build the ultimate doomsday weapon so enemies will also get to have their own gadgets resulting from those experiments. All the planes that the player were inspired from real life ones, even if they were only prototypes so it should be historically interesting as well.

The developers, acting on the suggestions of their players, have improved on the diversity of the missions (never a dull moment, they promise,) the user interface, the wingman system and the weapon system. There will be an option to play the game in simulation mode or inside the cockpit which utilizes a more realistic control system. The developers also worked to make the game enjoyable both to hardcore gamers and those new to the genre of the game, and maybe even the virgin gamer.

Secret Missions is expected to be out this September for the Xbox 360. No word yet on the date for PS3, though.
