The History Channel's logo is printed on Battle for the Pacific's box, which may lead you to believe that the game features a certain amount of historical accuracy. It's apparently an undocumented fact, then, that if you were a World War II private, you would be accompanied on missions by soldiers completely impervious to gunfire. These soldiers would run directly up to enemies, perform pirouettes, and then kill them at point-blank range, which certainly sounds like a reasonable way to win a war. On the other hand, Battle for the Pacific, barring any secret Army documents, may simply be an abysmal game that features terrible mission design, broken artificial intelligence, and substandard controls. Because this is indeed the case, don't even think about buying this game--not even to experience the bizarre alternate reality of World War II that this first-person shooter represents.
When gamers think about first person shooter games, there’s a slew of titles that instantly come to mind. These games place the player in the action and they become immersed in the game with heart-pounding gameplay dynamics. Sure, there’s a ton of great first person shooter games out there, but there’s a lot of companies that have tried to cash in on first person shooters. In other words, for every good first person shooter game out there, there’s a bad first person shooter game. On this list, are the worst of the worst when it comes to first person shooters.

"Battle for the Pacific further knocks the History Channel brand down a notch on consoles, and yes that's after two Civil War titles that were equally terrible. If the network wants to attract younger viewers, then they'll also have to accept that they need to put forth the financial backing as well. Why not license Call of Duty?"

What particular historical period has provided the source material for this genre more than any other? If you answered "World War II" you're correct yet again. Now, surely developer Cauldron must have asked themselves the same questions. Why have did they ignore the clear signs that the market could do without another WWII shooter?"
