Battlestations: Pacific adds greater detail and depth of field than ever before. New plane and ship destruction effects add a touch of realism, as does the bullet tracers and smoke and fire effects that give this game an authenticity like no other. The battles take place in various weather conditions and during the day and night for added realism.
28 Epic Battles and Over 100 Authentic War Machines
Lead either the American or Japanese forces through a total of 28 epic battles on your way to victory and do so with over 100 authentic war machines, including fighters, carriers, destroyers, submarines, kamikaze planes, and more. Take to the air with 17 authentic US planes, such as the Corsair fighter or Curtis Helldivers, or 20 Japanese planes, including the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt) or the night-fighting Nakajima J1N1 Gekko.
Take control of the Pacific with the New York Class Battleships that feature twelve 14-inch guns mounted in six dual-turrets for considerable firepower against the enemy. Or battle the enemy from below the sea with the stealthy Narwhal Class Submarines that featured a deck-mounted, five-inch gun and six torpedo tubes used to fire torpedoes at enemy ships. You get plenty of other war machines at your disposal, so you can mount the perfect plan of attack against the enemy from air, sea, or even underwater.

As you make your way through 28 full-scale battles as the American forces in single player mode, you begin your campaign after Midway and battle your way through Guadalcanal, Leyte, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and more. You can also rewrite history as the Japanese forces and begin your journey at Pearl Harbor and battle through Java Sea, Port Moresby, Midway, and beyond.
With a slew of new features and game play options, Battlestations: Pacific takes you back to the historic battles of the Pacific during WWII and does so with incredibly-realistic graphics, over 100 authentic war machines, and single or multiplayer gaming options that allow you to stage two unique campaigns as either the American or Japanese forces.

In single player mode, you can play as the Americans and relive history, from the Solomon Islands, to Leyte, to Okinawa. or play as the Japanese and rewrite history, fighting "What if" battles. The mulitplayer is great, and if you don't have many skill playing in it, you can sharpen your skills in training and skirmish. all in all, it's a great game that can be played over and over without being boring. 8 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By Brian (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Battlestations Pacific (Video Game) If you enjoy constructing a plan of attack with your teammates and rapidly adapting once the shells start flying, you will enjoy this game. If you think the Call of Duty Modern Warfare series is the best thing ever, you will probably hate the pace of this game.
Having played Battlestations Midway, I was very pleased with the improvements to this franchise. The graphical detail and sounds are significantly improved and seem very realistic. The sheer number of units you can control (ships, subs, planes, bases) combined with multiple view points make this game the best WWII RTS/FPS combination on Xbox 360. There is a definite learning curve for the controls and unit strengths/weakness, but once you master them, the game is very fun. Many of the negative reviews that complain about the game being dull or lacking excitement are way off base. 8 player online matches are anything but dull with dozens of ships battling for bases while squadrons of planes fight...Read more 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful: = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Battlestations Pacific (Video Game) I had Battlestations midway and I enjoyed the campaign but by the time I bought it there was not really anyone playing online. Battlestations pacific solved this by adding a skirmish mode to the single player. However, there still is online multiplayer which is very fun. Overall it is a good game with good graphics. It is also pretty realistic. |
