Review

Review

Skies of Glory: Battle for Britain is a great game with enough options that make it enjoyable for numerous matches. It would be nice if it came with more than one plane available, but collecting planes is part of the fun. Make sure to take a moment to calibrate the game — it makes flying much easier. All in all, the app is worth the money.
