About

Beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, this flight combat game puts players in the middle of some of the most intense naval conflict in WWII's Pacific Theater. This epic story unfolds through 30 missions taken from real events of the U.S. Navy's campaign in the Pacific, in hotspots like Midway Island, the Coral Sea, Wake Island, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. Throughout the game, players will pilot a variety of aircraft that were integral to the war effort in the Pacific, including the Grumman F4F Hellcat and F6F Wildcat, the Douglas SBD Dauntless, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and the Chance-Vought F4U Corsair.

While the online mode is a little too standard for its own good, the game's campaign is compelling, and the game plays well overall. Some flight-combat buffs will probably dislike the game's loose style, but people who aren't necessarily looking for a pitch-perfect flight simulation of the conflict will probably enjoy Heroes of the Pacific.

Still, this is a very entertaining aerial combat vehicle that pulls you in and is somewhat addictive. The replay value is suspect because only the difficulty ramps up the challenge (Ok, sure, you can try for a higher kill count and better accuracy percentage), and the scenarios are essentially unchanged. However, flight fans are sure to find this enjoyable, and those looking for a decent WWII air combat title will likely be entertained by this entry.

There are tons of missions to plough through (each filled with optional objectives) and the pleasing variety of action (dogfights, ground attacks, torpedo runs) keeps you interested throughout. So to sum up, Heroes Of The Pacific is big, it's not really clever, but you'll have a blast playing it all the same.

Heroes Of The Pacific rejoint la liste des shooters arcades mais s'en démarque un peu par quelques exigences qui pourraient en dégoûter certains. Parfois frustrant, il n'en reste pas moins fun et plaisant, mais préparez-vous à vivre l'amour vache avec ce jeu.
