I played it for twenty minutes or so at last year’s E3 and wasn’t terribly impressed. I may be wrong, since Battlestations Pacific is getting some pretty decent reviews, including this thoughtful one from David Thomas at Crispy Gamer. (Apologies in advance for the persistent pop-up reminder of the upcoming site redesign.)
By the way, be sure to check out Jason McMaster’s videos of the the first 20 minutes of the game at his new video site Frame Rated. I love the idea of just showing how a game starts. Especially when McMaster crashes.
I crashed my way into Troy’s heart.
I’ve been enjoying it, though I don’t know if it will end up like Battlestations: Midway, in which I just sorta ran out of steam with it and never went back to it. But since the sequel has more of everything, including great late war units, I have a feeling that I’ll find more longevity with this one.
