Product Description

Battlestations: Pacific is an action-packed WWII tactical shooter on an extraordinary scale and features two distinctly different single player campaigns. As the Americans, the game picks up the story where Battlestations: Midway left off and allows players to fight their way from The Battle of Midway to Okinawa as they try to secure peace in the Pacific. As the Japanese however, players take control of the Imperial Japanese fleet and have the unique chance to fight at Pearl Harbor before attempting to change the course of history and take full control of the Pacific Ocean.

  • Combined Real-Time Strategy, Flight, and Naval Action Gameplay: Command the air, sea, and sub forces. Launch full-scale attacks and at anytime switch to and take full-control of any plane, ship or sub. You command, fly the attack, fire the battleship's 15-inch guns, and submerge the mini-sub anyway you choose throughout the battle.
  • Two Massive Campaigns: 28 full-scale battles across two unique campaigns. The historic American campaign begins after Midway and goes to Guadalcanal, Leyte, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and more. The "what if" Japanese campaign begins at Pearl Harbor and goes to the Java Sea, Port Moresby, Midway, and beyond.
  • 100 War Machines: Fighters, bombers, carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, subs, mini-subs and more. 17 US planes including the new Corsair fighters and Curtis Helldivers, and 20 Japanese planes including the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt), and the night-fighting Nakajima J1N1 Gekko.
  • Innovative Online Multiplayer Battles: Huge multi-unit battles for up to eight players (four on each side) on Games For Windows LIVE. The largest battle involves over 100 units. Includes five all-new online gameplay modes: Island capture, Duel, Siege, Escort, and Competitive.

Battlestations: Pacific offers a unique blend of action and strategy, as players must plan their moves carefully on huge open-world arenas and then fight in the air, above sea and underwater as they take direct control of their units and storm into combat. Join forces with friends online or play solo against the computer controlled opponents in the all-new Skirmish mode or battle each other in one of the five new, innovative multiplayer modes.

4 out of 5 stars My first Battlestation   June 22, 2009

As a first timer on this type of game I found that the graphics and the gameplay are very good, the only problem I found was that the manual could have been more helpful in the game play area. But that does not take away the excitement of the game, look forward to the next version

Battlestations Pacific (PC DVD)
To be honest the reviews that proceed my review say it all.

I can't fault the graphics but unfortunately this game isn't anywhere near the game that I thought and hoped it would be. This said, my 10 year old son really enjoys Battlestations Pacific so I guess therein lies the "proof in the pudding".

If you are looking for a game that works your brain and involves planning your strategy and getting deeply involved, this probably isn't the game for you. If you are like my 10 year old son and just like blowing the hell out of things without any thought of the long term strategy or realism then, go ahead. But bottom line, I definitely would not recommend this game.



2 out of 5 stars Nice graphics but where's the game   May 26, 2009

Far too much time and effort on the videos & graphics and little attention to the actual campaigns. No strategy or skills required here. Too much an arcade style shoot-em-up. I was totally bored and disappointed within an hour of installing the game, so don't waste your money on this one! In fact the original Battlestations Midway was a far better game, despite its inferior graphics ... Oh well, back to Silent Hunter 4.

ps: BS Pacific took about nearly an hour to load and has subsequently crashed quite a few times.

Very poor game if they had spent more on the game as they did on the Video it might have been better, Its just another shootem up game not worth the price they are asking, I would like to know where the strategy is.

decided to buy this game from watching the videos and reading a few review about it how this game ogt a 8.0 score in IGN is beyond me. The game takes ages to install for its size. While the graphics are quite good the controls a abismal especally the air controls when control by the mouse having to constantly move the mouse in the direction you want to go. Remember Freelancer anyone the mouse controls on that were perfect no dragging the mouse over half a table just to move the ship slightly up. As for strategy what strategy you units are constantly respawned if their lost you have unlimited ammo on most of the craft so you never feel any tension.

This game is clearly a arcade shoot them up or casual gamer all style no substance game hiding under the guise of its far worthier predecessor. If you want a second world war strategy game avoid this and buy sothing else I wish I had.
