Take to the skies and relive WWII battles in this upcoming game.

In spite of the fact that the Wii Remote lends itself quite well to flying games, as evidenced in Wii Sports Resort, very few aerial games have been released. However, City Interactive is set to buck that trend with Combat Wings that is to be released later in the year on the Nintendo Wii.

Combat Wings allows you to become a WWII pilot and fly historical planes such as the Spitfire and P-51 Mustang as well as take part in fights such as the battle of Britain or the counterstrike against the Japanese navy over the Pacific. The title will also feature multiplayer so you and a friend can see who is best in the skies.

If you happen to be in Cologne for Gamescom this week be sure to check out City Interactive's booth as Combat Wings will be playable. For anyone who isn't you can enjoy screenshots from the game.
