I may never get to find out if the game is fun or not. The minimum system requirements as listed on the packaging are 256 MB RAM, Pentium 1.0 GHz, 64MB video card. When you call technical support they tell you the minimum requirements are 512 MB RAM, Pentium 2.5 GHz and 256 MB video card.

Battle for the Pacific not that great. I have Medal of Honor series,Call of Duty series,Brothers in Arms series. Rainbow Six Lockdown,Vegas Blackhawkdown series. Battle for the Pacific doesn’t hold a candle to the ones I mention. They should make a Battle for the Pacific two and put it on the same level as Brothers in Arms etc.

The other reviews do a good job of explaining the shortcomings of this game. I just have to wonder what the game designers were thinking and, more importantly, what the History Channel was doing attaching their name to this abomination. At some point in the development process, it would’ve been clear to the game play testers that this game would not be fun for the modern game player. I’m actually pretty sure that this game would not even have been released if it didn’t have the History Channel’s name on it. Stick to television, guys.

Battle For The Pacific has got to be the most linear game I have ever played. The freedom is completely and totally taken away from you. I can’t actually believe they made a game this way. You are literally forced to follow a leader the entire game. You want to stay behind a little just to finish off some enemies? Mission failed! You take a little longer than the rest of the troops to follow the leader? Mission failed! This is totally unacceptable for any game. The leader calls out “you will follow me and that’s an order” over and over again until the level ends and the same thing starts all over again.
Don’t get suckered in by the screenshots you see of this game. The graphics are the best thing about the game but you only get seconds to enjoy them because if you don’t stay right on the leader’s butt the mission will fail. You can’t get out to explore the graphics at all because you are being roped along a very narrow linear path of the leader.
The game itself is short….very short. Each of the linear levels is only minutes long. You could easily finish this game in one day if you wanted. As far as bugs, sometimes the leader will get stuck and just sit there until you move ahead a little too. There’s also a bug that I encountered with the options in the pc version. No matter what I chose as the “interact” key, it would not work in the game unless I set it back to the default “E” key. This game has console port written all over it.
The enjoyment factor is completely ripped away from you by forcing you to follow a leader. Just check the major gaming reviews of this game. They are terrible and mainly because of how linear this game is. Battle For the Pacific should be listed as “unavailable” here. No one should ever pay for a terrible game like this.

This game has only been out a few months, luckily I paid 10 bucks for it on sale, but even that is way too much. Once I got the box and saw it said Activision Value, I figured it was not going to turn out good. To sum it up the best part of the game are the video clips in between levels which is only old news footage with new voiceover. The guns are kinda boring, and the model quality not very good at all. You can aim with the crosshair or down the sight, but you still have the crosshair. Not that it matters much as 9 out of 10 times the japanese just stand there and let you shoot them. Only you and the Japanese will die besides one or two scripted scenes. Your leader can be 2 feet from a japanese blasting a entire mag at him, and nothing but your not that lucky. However the AI is so bad, very rarely do they land hits and usually a killing shot is not to often. I finished the game in about 2 hours on normal. As the other review said, most of the battles are skipped and other than entering MG’s or a Quad .50 to shoot at planes. There is not much good to say. The game is completely linear and you have no freedom of your actions. If your a couple seconds to slow mission failed happens as it says your not following orders. Graphics are weak, but not terrible except on the weapons are a little dull, and the Aircraft look very dull and move a bit to slow for fighters. The levels are pretty basic and youll find yourself in the jungle or the trench for most of the game. Often going back and forth in the same spots over and over. It was no surprise that not a single multiplayer server was available. This game has nothing to offer any player. Its fine if you have kids as the skill level is very basic, however a little foul language is in the game. Im leery of the other history channel games now. Not sure who was trying to make a quick buck.
