September 1^st, 2004 (12:00am) - Gathering announced today that Wings of War has shipped to retail for the Xbox and PC. Developed by Silver Wish Games, a division of Illusion Softworks, the creators of Mafia, Wings of War brings arcade action to the historical backdrop of World War I.

Wings of War puts gamers in the cockpit of over 25 Allied and German aircraft in massive air battles and bombing runs across the vast landscape of war-torn Europe. Players will take on hordes of enemy aircraft in detailed planes or take control of anti-aircraft guns mounted on trains, zeppelins, boats and more. Wings of War features more than 70 stages of gameplay across 13 unique levels featuring a vast array of missions, including action-packed military assignments as well as additional, “non-regulation” quests.

In addition to the extensive single player mode, the PC version of the game will include both online and LAN-based multiplayer. Featuring the ability to dogfight in a variety of modes, the online component will be every bit as action-packed as the single player experience for PC gamers.

Wings of War is rated T for teen and is currently available for the Xbox and PC, each at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
