PopMatters: Battlestations: Pacific Review

This game obviously isn't an exacting sub sim or plane sim or battleship sim. Unfortunately, it's just the right combination of fiddly and vague, a game that wants to do too much and delivers too little. Maybe in a sequel they can deepen the sim experience and fine-tune the tactical experience. Until then, this is most definitely a niche title and a prickly one at that. If you have the patience to learn its ins and outs (despite its attempts to dissuade you), you'll find a lot to admire under the surface of this game.
