Calling it “the Pacific theater” always seems somewhat disrespectful. Yet for Battlestations: Midway, the name is all too appropriate. Here, the Second World War really is the greatest show on earth. At its best, the game offers a string of unique sensations, and manages to convey the sheer scale of war. Seeing a good couple of dozen planes flying in formation towards a naval base - literally filling the sky - and then scattering as you swoop in to engage them in your fighter, is ...
Battlestations: Midway - multiplayer hands-on
With warfare this complex, you'll need all the help you can get
Dec 20, 2006
Battlestations: Midway is a boot camp in extreme multi-tasking - as our earlier hands-on time with the game proved. The WWII simulator doesn't just offer epic helpings of both action and strategy, it expects you to master and execute the two styles of gameplay simultaneously. Apparently, those incapable of walking and chewing gum at the same time should not be put in command of history-altering global warfare. This holds true for multiplayer as well, which we quickly discovered when publisher ...   » Read Full Battlestations: Midway preview

Strategy game regulars may be used to orchestrating battles and simply letting their ever-loyal automaton armies deal with the messy end of their master plan, but Battlestations: Midway does things differently - to improve the chances of victory, players will have to jump into the fray themselves. After all, if you want a job done right... As we discovered during a recent hands-on with the single-player campaign, the ability to switch entirely at will between ships, planes and submarines gives ...   » Read Full Battlestations: Midway preview

Battlestations: Midway has been around for quite a while, starting life as a game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. But now it's hitting the big time on the Xbox 360. Before you roll your eyes at the thought of another WWII game (the most played-out game setting on Earth, next to the mean gangsta-ridden streets of Big City, USA), know that Battlestations is a bit different. Rather than a simple first-person shooter or squad-based first-person shooter, Battlestations is a ...   » Read Full Battlestations: Midway preview

After leaving PS2, Gizmondo and Xbox versions in its wake, BattleStations: Midway has again surfaced as an Xbox 360- and PC-only mixture of strategy and shooting. After finding the safe harbor of Eidos from the scuttled SCi, BattleStations: Midway has returned to allow you to fight the epic aerial and naval World War II battles from the opening of the war in the Pacific at Pearl Harbor, through the Philippines and into the campaign's turning point at the island of ...   » Read Full Battlestations: Midway preview
