  • Summary: Battlestations: Pacific takes the action/strategy gameplay of Battlestations: Midway to the next level with more intense, strategic combat. Players can take to the skies and seas through two massive, action-packed campaigns across 28 missions, featuring some of the most decisive naval battles in history. A historically accurate U.S. campaign puts players in command of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific fleet through the Battles of Guadalcanal and on to Iwo Jima, Okinawa and victory. For the first time, players have a chance to rewrite history, commanding a Japanese campaign as the Imperial Japanese Navy from Pearl Harbor to Asia, Australia and beyond, expanding its empire throughout the Pacific Rim. Battlestations: Pacific takes the battle online with a massively enhanced multiplayer experience, offering five new and innovative co-op and team-based modes for up to eight players. ‘Siege’ and ‘Duel’ offer an all-out action experience, allowing players to control a selection of war machines as each side battles to turn the tide of war; joining forces for ‘Competitive’, players compete side-by-side against the opposing AI forces; ‘Escort’ allows for a mix of action and strategy, with players escorting or attacking a key naval unit as it heads to its destination; and ‘Island Capture’ offers a compelling strategic experience, with players not only battling for supremacy of the seas, but also capturing and controlling the island archipelago.

    What Battlestations Pacific delivers is something that is all too rare these days. This is a game that's fun and action-packed without treating the customer like a fool. The blend of realism and arcade fun is beautifully balanced - think of this as the warfare equivalent of Project Gotham Racing.

    There has been a surprising amount of thought and attention to detail put into Battlestations: Pacific, even though it often plays like an arcade title. The problems with the game are few and far between, so if you're after an epic historical action title with plenty of bang for your buck, this should definitely be your port of call.

    Battlestations: Pacific is not a game for everyone. Its unique gameplay, and its good mix between action and strategy may appeal to many players, as well as represent an obstacle to some others. It's highly recommended to those who love – difficult – Second World War games, but with a different and appealing approach.

    Although this game is not for everyone, it is my favorite strategy game. Being able to independently control a individual unit and have a major battle is epic. The variety of units in the game is also a great bonus and the different abilities to destroy a single unit makes the game fun. Some of the major problems in the are the occasional glitches with the ships, and the inability to shot paratroopers out of the air.… Expand

    I know, I know, this rating seems a little steep, but this game is great. It offers a great blend between strategy and action that you don�39;t find with other games. The Naval combat (with Air Support) is a fresh change from regular old FPSs or Air only games... There's a demo on XBox Live; check it out for yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if you quicky see why there are lots of us who absolutely love this game (and the first one, Battlestations: Midway, even though it had some annoying bugs and a weak multiplayer setup, which have been addressed in this sequel).… Expand

    Boring, clumsy, and hard to grasp for new players in the genre. A good historical depiction, but the mechanics destroy the concept. The high reviews on this game astound me.… Expand
