Battlestations: Pacific is the immense sequel to the critically acclaimed "Battlestations: Midway." 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 of the Pacific War and for the first time, as the Japanese, players lead the IJN Fleet to a completely different ending to the war.
No other game delivers the challenge of an RTS with the rush of real-time WWII flight and naval warfare. Players need intelligence and expertise to plan their moves in order to remain one step ahead of the opponent. The players command both strategy and action to anticipate every opponent move and turn the tide of war. Twice the size of the original, the sequel includes 28 major battles, 100 units including 21 new units, five new innovative multi-player modes across eight new multi-player maps, and new features which include island capture, kamikaze attacks, and an improved easy-to-use interface.
- 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 Xbox LIVE. The largest battle involves over 100 units. Includes five all-new online gameplay modes: Island capture, Duel, Siege, Escort, and Competitive.

I have it since a few days, played a lot.
I was a big fan of the previous one as well, but this one is a lot better. The graphics are amazing, the online is superb, and luckily they were smart enough to keep the music from the previous one.
They corrected every little bug from the first one.
Its kinda like the first game got really pimped.
Small things like on the strategic map you can even see the shadow of the planes,and so on.
The campaign mode is a lot better than in the Midway, especially the Japanese.
Buy this game you wont regret it!
I had bought and played Midway and, while it was good, their were a lot of things that could be improved. Pacific has taken this game to the next level in every way.
The graphics have been vastly improved, a lot of units have been modified and improved and additional units added at the request of players. The 'skirmish' mode is excellent and the online play is great too. The best bit (in my opinion) is being able to play as the Japanese throughout an entire campaign and not just the odd mission.
All in all, if you like strategy based games, at £14.99 you really can't go wrong with this one and I would thoroughly recomend you buy it.
Demo - 1 star
Game - 5 stars
This game is at least as good, if not better than Midway. Opinion is divided as to which is better, but for newcomers to the game/genre this is the one to get. The campaigns bring you into the game gently without using a boring training level and the learning curve is nowhere near as steep. For those who played Midway the new aspects to the MP add totally new possibiliteis to strategies and gameplay.
All in all, 28 really good campaign missions divided into Japanese and American campaigns.
Fantastic MP that will keep you playing for months. Definately a great game well worth 5 stars and totally different to every other game out (except Battlestations Midway of course!). I also think it is an improvement over the original.
Just downloaded and played the demo, what a complete waste of time compared to the original. The original missions seemed a lot more exciting and faster paced where this just seems to show how great the programmers are on graphics. I have been eagerly waiting this game since I learnt it was coming and now will be looking elsewhere for fun, ranks with last GTA as a major disappointment.
just played the demo from Xbox live and it looks stunning although it was a bit limited and short i got a idea what was to come on the 15th and man it going to be good, stunning graphics and controls is ten times better, although there is a couple of frame drips here and there it can be expected when the graphics are so good as this,
if you have not downloaded the demo yet then i would recommend you do and leave your review and support for what i think is going to be one of the best games on any system this year,
