Easy to play, fun to play and way too short.
User Rating: 8.5 | Battlestations: Midway PC
I really enjoyed this one. Sure the graphics are no Silent Hunter 4 and it is arcade play and not sim and the cut scenes are way better than game play and...and...and. But it was easy to manage everything just with my Logitech rumble pad and the ease of jumping from one plane to another or one ship to another was surprisingly simple and quick. Though the missions were on the short side, replaying them was alittle different each time, just enough to keep you on your toes. Being able to take control of each plane as it approached for a carrier landing was a nice touch. We lost alot of planes that way. Since I just bought it a few weeks ago (Frys, $9.99) mp is dead so I can't say anything there. I know I'll be looking for Battlestations Pacific later this year and hope they can improve on a already great game.
