May 12, 2009 - [Battlestations: Pacific is] an often clumsy and over-ambitious enterprise, one that can wow you with a pirouette and then slip over on a banana skin in the same mission, but the pleasures it does offer are enhanced by the knowledge that it's still the only game offering them.

May 12, 2009 - It might not be the WWII game to end all WWII games, but Battlestations: Pacific manages to strike a great balance between intense action and real-time strategy, and gives players a much broader and expansive view of a war that we are so used to seeing through the eyes of individual soldiers on the ground.

May 27, 2009 - While the core gameplay and presentation do little to set Battlestations: Pacific apart from its predecessor, the blending of two genres and high replayability make this entry in the series a solid choice for anyone interested in WWII.

May 13, 2009 - Although not without its problems, this is a sequel done right: It's just as fun, but it's bigger, broader, and more fully realized.

May 13, 2009 - For those looking for a flying game (primarily) that's just about fun, but that also has more depth than, say, HAWX, Battlestations: Pacific is a decent bet.

May 14, 2009 - Battlestations: Pacific improves upon almost every facet of the original, offering more of just about everything. With only a few nagging issues holding it back, it's a more-than-worthy way to satisfy your tactical itch.

May 20, 2009 - In the end, Battlestations: Pacific is a game you'll likely want to demo before you commit to a purchase. While some will definitely enjoy the sandbox nature of the game and the variety of units it provides, others might be put off by the arcadey gameplay and simplistic strategy.
