Manufacturer's Description
Experience every aspect of fierce WWII naval combat as you command a host of US and Allied air, sea and underwater units through intense, action-packed missions in hotspots across the Pacific. At your disposal are over 60 legendary war-machines, including huge aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, land and carrier based bombers and even submarines, all equipped with authentic weaponry.

Action based gameplay allows you to switch between all units under your command at the press of a button, whilst firing real-time orders to position the rest of your squad. In total control of breathtaking multiple unit battles you will engage the enemy in fierce dogfights, launch multiple attack squadrons from a carrier, fire the massive guns of a battleship, whilst launching deadly torpedo attacks from a hidden submarine.

The game consists of a variety of campaign and individual challenge missions, each with several objectives and multiple pathways. You will lead your fleet from Pearl Harbor, through the Philippines, Java and the Coral Sea to the decisive Battle of Midway. Each mission is conducted across immense open-world environments, featuring historically detailed island bases, fully destructible buildings and functional airstrips.

If that is not enough, head online and duel it out against numerous opponents in epic island sieges and head-to-head fleet battles.

Customer Reviews

Mid-way to multiplayer madness
Enjoy playing the game. The controls are simple however the graphics are attractive and the gameplay itself is challenging enough.
I have 6 pcs at home and am always looking out for good LAN multiplayer games as I also have 5 kids.
I do not profess to be a pc whizz and usually learn how to get by the hard way. It is therefore massively annoying to find this game makes LAN connection almost impossible. I have checked the Eidos website - no patch yet - but there are lists of ports that need configuring and forwarding to be able to play. I would try to do all this to make it work but why should this be down to me...have e-mailed Eidos and am waiting for the patch, instructions or explanation.

Not quite there!
Being a fan of naval war battles i jumped on this title, having sat through the install and run through the tutorials which were pretty good i played the first challenge.

If you like madly clicking your mouse at targets and watching the same explosions time after time then this is for you. The model of the game is very generic and every unit seems the same accept they look different.

The controls are a little difficult to get used to (for example no mouse inversion) and the graphics are OK!, Music is lacking and atmosphere is missing.

In general just feels like an arcade war game, with levels and points!! I didn't play online cos i knew i would suck at it so that might warrant a few more stars, if its any better.

In all i just didn't like it, i hate restrictive games with levels and scores. But if your an arcade freak then buy it.

Good Game, could be better
Having waited for years for Battlestations midway, downloaded and played the multi-player demo(which worked), I was rather annoyed to find lots of problems with LAN games on the PC, considering the Single player Game is over after 4-6 hours, and that not everyone wants to play online with people they dont know, how can a game that worked in demo version suddenly have so many problems.? even the online game suffers from lag and player drops, come on "Eidos" get the patch ready and out, were not "ALL" puter guru's who want to spend more time configuring our puters,routers than playing the game. This should have been a 4 or 5 star game, but multi-player problems force a 3 star instead.
