Released in the US this past Tuesday, the sequel to Battlestations: Midway, this game is geared to become a new DL passtime. If for nothing less than just a good time and a good excuse to fire up the Xbox360 for some DL good times!
Set in WWII, Battlestations: Pacific delivers intense, action-packed combat and strategic (always an appreciated element for DL) warfare on an extraordinary scale featuring two distinctly different single-player campaigns. As the Americans, the game picks up the story where Battlestations: Midway left off and allows you to fight your way from the Battle of Midway to Okinawa as you try to secure peace in the Pacific!
As the Japanese, 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.
Experience one war through two epic sagas where you will be a part of history or change it. Feel the power of the historically authentic and decisive battles of the Pacific War. Relive some of the grandest and most critical naval battles of recent history and for the first time, choose to lead your fleet to a completely different ending to the war.
You will need intelligence and expertise to plan your moves and constantly remain one step ahead of the enemy. With both strategy and action at your command truly anticipate your opponent’s every move and turn the tide of war.
Action and strategy: Plan your moves carefully on huge open-world arenas and then fight in the air, above sea, and underwater as you take direct control of your 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.
Single-player campaign: The massive U.S. and Japanese single-player campaign has more than 28 story missions, double the size of the previous Battlestations: Midway.
New units: The game also features 21 new units, including kamikaze and other WWII jets and units. Experience a whole new level of depth of gameplay while taking direct control of the infamous Ohka and other Japanese air units that terrorised the Pacific Ocean during WWII.
Troops in battle: Launch your parachute squadrons with pinpoint accuracy or ensure the safe passage of your landing craft, and watch your battalions of troops capture key locations, man the defensive artillery, and gain a strategic foothold.
TWICE THE SIZ: Lead the US and Japanese forces in two massive campaigns to relive or rewrite history with up to 28 missions to play through!
MASTER YOUR FLEE: Command and take direct control of over 100 authentic and prototype air, sea and undersea units including fighters, bombers, kamikaze planes, cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, submarines and lots more!
NEW LEVEL OF REALIS: Experience a new level of visual realism where the Pacific Ocean and its chains of islands truly come to life. Immerse yourself in the action with the all new cockpit view and fight the enemy at day, night and in different weather conditions.
BIGGER ONLINE BATTLE: Challenge your friends in 5 completely new and engaging multiplayer modes and take part in massive online battles.
