 It's OK, strategy better than game play June 3, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The strategic parts of the game are better than some of the game play, especially the flying. The naval simulation parts are better, and feel more realistic. The flying simulation has a high amount of lag (even a 747 is more responsive in real life than these fighters). Airplanes are not like ships, and there is not this much overshoot. There are better flying sims than this. The ships do have a realistic amount of fluidity. Having to manage resources in the ship while fighting is nice. The graphics are fairly good, but not outstanding. The learning curve is a little higher than some games, and I agree with the other review that states it's tough when you are playing the games between taking care of kids, etc (or bouncing between games and don't play some games for a while)...
 Great strategy game. March 9, 2007

This game is great if you want a little more thinking power involved in your game.
Absolutely Worth It! March 4, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
While other reviews constantly bring up the complexity, I have to disagree. First, most people who would buy this game are used to handling and switching between different troops. Second, they bring you along slowly, so you have time to get acclimated to the commands. Finally, the most important thing is: you don't HAVE to switch between every unit in action in every battle. The computer will do a decent job. However, your level of fun (and success) will increase the more you are involved in your units' actions.
The fact the game does not pause when you are accessing repair, launch, and command options only adds to how cool this game really is. The battles get to become very large, the graphics are beautiful, and even the AI character banter doesn't make you cringe. Overall, this is a fantastic game, and one to make 360 owners proud they have one. My only complaint is that it seems fairly short. However, there is an awful lot in this game, so it is to be expected. Highly recommended.
good, but short March 3, 2007

i love naval simulation games, and ive been waiting for another good one since the original battle stations for PS1. i was counting down the days for this one.
first, ive heard some complaints about the complexity of it and the learning curve. i dont know why. the naval academy feature is a little tedious, but it takes an hour tops and teaches you all you need to know. its not that complicated-actually its a near perfect balance of simple controls with an in-depth experience.
the one problem with the game is there's only a campaign thats like 10 scenarios then 10 more challenge scenarios. once you beat it all thats it. there is no melee/arena type option like the original PS1 game. all you can do is just replay old missions. this gets pretty old pretty quick.
id buy it-graphics are great, gameplay is great. i just wish they had a more open, repeatable portion to the game
Long Learning Curve March 3, 2007

I'm a Dad with a nine month old baby and I need a game that I can sit down and play. The learning curve is to long and I don't have the time for it. That is just me, other wise the game looks like it would be fun once you learned how to do everything. Hope this was helpful and good luck.
