GameSpot Review - 8.4 (Great)
It delivers almost everything a fan of the genre could ask for: immersion, attention to detail, visual appeal, and above all truly realistic and intense flight combat. ... It's the ultimate combination of a strategy game and a hard-core simulation.

Cosmos Gaming Review (8 / 10)
...Overall, "Battle Of Britain II: Wings Of Victory" is a great game...

(6 / 8) The fantastic flight model and engrossing campaign are still intact, offering up a potent combination of game styles.
