Pearl Harbor: Zero Hour has simple arcade-style controls that provide a fun, absorbing game. Thrill to combat in the air, on land, and at sea as you fight Japanese forces in 10 missions drawn from the actual Pacific campaign of World War II, including the Battle Of Midway and Guadalcanal.

Playboy

Despite interesting missions like Midway and Guadalcanal, experienced gamers can blow through Zero Hour in a day. Ambitious flyboys will gladly return to it as coffee break filler, but long-term companionship is doubtful.

IGN

Overall I'd rather watch the movie again...and I hated the movie.

GamePower

The low-res, 640x480 graphics are a quaint throwback to the mid-'90s and the absence of any sort of independent camera control or alternate viewing options make for some pretty static gameplay environments.

GameZone

The game fails to tread new water in the field. It may have been a solid title, without the Pearl Harbor title, five years ago. It is a fair arcade, third-person perspective flight sim, and nothing more.

Pearl Harbor-Zero Hour was one of my favorite WW2 simulation games .....until I tried to reinstall it on my computer. It keeps stating "cannot initialize 3D". Simon and Schuster are out of PC Game business now, so where do I go??? Anywho (OK....how), S&S producing PC games is about equal to John Deere manufacturing Computers!.......If I can ever reinstall the game, I would probably rerate it a 9 or 10 due to its novel approach of flying your aircraft suspended in the air about 500 feet above it (which eases the pain if you're shot down by the bad guys or run out of fuel before you can reorient yourself on returning home. ( I recall hearing about the American pilot who, having had a great day shooting down six enemy aircraft, sinking a cruiser, and leaving a battleship badly damaged, landed his plane on an aircraft carrier, sharply saluted the commander and reported his feats....to which the commander responded..."Vellie good Yank, but you make one slight mistakee!"

Greg B. gave it a 9:
The graphics are pretty sad...but HELL....THIS GAME IS FUN AND ADDICTIVE. Worth the money. Blowin' stuff up is great!

Bryce gave it a 10:
I though it was great but i'm having trouble installing it on xp can someone help me?

9Nails gave it a 3:
Even at $9.95, this game doesn't deliver enough fun to justify the cost. I've spent more time trying to get a joystick to work then I did on any mission. (It never did.) It lacks any support at it's web site. And the patch never helped.
