DESCRIPTION

Taking its title from the strategically crucial atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Battlestations: Midway is a naval warfare game featuring both action and strategy set during World War II. The game's main campaign begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor and follows major battles in the Pacific Theatre through the Battle of Midway. In the main mode of play, action sequences have players piloting their choice of over 60 era-authentic fighters, bombers, destroyers, battleships, and submarines in simulation-style combat. The strategic mode of the game allows players to take command of all their forces at once, through a real-time strategy-styled interface. Players can coordinate the movement and tactics of their entire fleet in the strategic mode, then switch over to pilot their favorite ship or plane to hands-on victory. Online multiplayer modes support up to eight. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
