Set for release later this week, Mad Catz’s debut as a software launch publisher has got a difficult road ahead of it. Not only is it an ever-increasing challenge to go up against the biggest names in the industry with an unknown quantity, but also the team has opted to back one of the most uncompromising genres around. Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII is a flight combat simulation videogame set during the most turbulent of air based skirmishes in human history, World War II.
XMNR: Even though it is Saturday, the Black Friday Lightning Deals at Amazon for games continue to truck along. Today sees short time specials on PS3, Xbox 360 and DS games like Halo 4, Prototype 2, Dungeon Siege III and more along with the 4GB Xbox 360 Kinect Holiday Bundle that comes with two free games.
"Mad Catz bundles its new AV8R Flightstick peripheral with a WWII flight sim"
Gaming Union: "Damage Inc. is a flight game which seems a little bit confused. Some strong attention to detail has been paid to some aspects of the game, like the historical accuracy. However, when it comes to the gameplay and mechanics, things start to fall down. There are numerous arcade elements thrown in there, but simulation elements also appear at other times, and it makes for a game that can get rather tedious sometimes. The controls also struggle, although the AV8R flight stick at least offers some respite. It's issues like this that shouldn't be there and stop Damage Inc. from being a solid game."
