History needn't be some abstract thing you read in a textbook when you can stand at the helm of a WWII destroyer and command squadrons of fighter pilots in pitched battle. Take to the high seas during the chaos of Pearl Harbor and journey through the Philippines, Java, the Coral Sea before taking center-stage in the momentous Battle of Midway. When immersed in the Xbox 360-compatible Battlestations: Midway, you will engage in historic air, sea and underwater combat missions as a pilot, a gunner, a submariner, and even a carrier fleet commander with more than 60 warships at your disposal. Experience the unbridled fear and visceral courage felt by the men who lived it from multiple perspectives in each of these eleven death-defying campaigns.

- the actions on carrier commands for aircraft are screwed up and balleship cannot be sunk .
- The commands to the carrier aircraft do not do as tutorial explain. The planes only fly aruond in circles. With only your hands on control of the aircraft can the battleship be attacked. Plus no heavy damage is ever done to the battleship. More reviews
- Good idea, not well implemented
- I'm into turn-based strategy games like Civilization, Axis & Allies, and Chess. Real time strategy games like Warcraft tend to overwhelm me with micromanagement. Battlestations Midway is real time strategy, but most of the game involves the management of fairly slow naval units, so I thought I could handle it.

- This game is AWESOME!

I got so much more than I bargained for! This game is extremely realistic - all the way down to controlling how the crew attends to damage control. I'm very impressed with the… More reviews
