The innovative franchise returns to complete the entire Pacific War with two massive single-player campaigns, the historically based US campaign and a historically possible Japanese campaign. Players will experience one war through two epic sagas to be a part of history or change it. Commanding the US Fleet, players relive the grandest and most critical naval battles o… More >>
Battlestations: Pacific is way better then it’s older brother, Battlestations: Midway, with new Planes, new Ships and Better Graphics. 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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.
Rating: 4 / 5
Just having started playing the game, I am impressed and excited to get further into it. Flight controls are arcade-style, but realistic. Sounds are fantastic and the controls are easy to learn.

I really enjoyed Battlestations:Midway so was excited for this sequel. Unfortunately it was disappointing. Seems they changed the things I liked and added stuff I didn’t. The graphics are noticeably worse and the sound/voice acting is terrible- a very poor attempt at making it sound ‘authentic’. The most aggravating aspect are the maps are RIDICULOUSLY small- with no option to zoom. I’ve only completed the first couple of missions and then lost interest. I plan to give it another try but would recommend renting before purchase…I wish I had.

Where should I begin…. Having finished the game I can truthfully tell everything about this game.
Since this is a ‘teen’ game, I was able to buy it myself. (I’m only 15.)
This is a WWII game in which you take both the sides of the American forces and the Japanese empire’s. You can change how the battle went by either winning or losing the fight you have just done. For example, in a mission in which the Japanese won you might play as the Japanese and lose or play as the Americans and win or still lose. This game is on the way to the next-gen software, which allows for many changes in the game, like in GTA4. Finally most new games are catching up to GTA4′s aura of uniqueness in real time strategy.

In short, I would give this game 5/5, or 9.5/10. In my mindset, not much can be improved, but the storyline can be tweaked slightly to the better.
EDIT: The controls have begun to be more noticably sticky, and the campaign is not making such sense. Although it is WWII, you get transported to random places the whole game. If I could I would lower this game to 4 stars. The game’s first run-thru seemed nice, smooth, and easy, but later, when it became more complex, I didn’t like the controls anymore. Sorry!
