I got home and imagined being a naval aviator in the Pacific during WWII like President George H.W. Bush, flying a TBM Avenger and giving it to the Imperial Navy. So, I fired up Pacific Wars and it has been extremely fun! There is a simulation mode available, but I prefer having fun and played Arcade through both the US and Japanese campaigns and it was just great fun. The missions do not disrespect history or detract from it. The missions are challenging enough to make you feel like you really took it to the enemy. The torpedo bomber missions are a great challenge and very rewarding once you get the hang of it. Overall, this is really a good, fun game, that you can jump in casually play and have fun without having to earn a degree in it to be able to play it. If you want to have some fun and play pretend, you will love it. Did I mention it was fun?. This game deserves far more love and better rating than "mixed" , and here's why I think so in a few simple points:PROS:pleasant flight model in arcade mode, it's a joy to dive bomb and manoeuver through AA fire to torpedo a shipexcellent WW2 naval\/air warfare atmosphere, pretty visuals to reinforce thisgood mission design that recreates famous battles from the Pacific War surprisingly faithfully2 campaigns, one for the US and one for the Japanese, with all in all 20 chapters, some comprising more than one missiongame is easily moddable when it comes to sounds and textures (for example you can make your own roundels if you have a graphic software that can handle .dds files such as Gimp)you control a whole squadron at a time, so when your plane get shot down or run out of ammo, you can switch to another airplane. Pretty interesting and fun system for such a gamea solid list of airplanes from the Pacific War on both side (US and Japanese). Planes are mostly divided between fighters, dive bombers and torpedo bombersNEUTRAL:no real story (in the US campaign anyway; you have a bit more in the Japanese campaign as it is told from the perspective of the daughter of the pilot)you can edit pilot roster for your squadrons if you wish. Didn't find any real use for this, but those who like to min\/max will enjoy this.CONS:some missions are generic "turret" minigame and are pretty boring and sometimes even frustrating. Thankfully these missions are not required to advance in the game and can be skipped\/ignoredmusic is really uninspired and meh. Thankfully you can mod this and add your own musicsetting up the controls can be a real pain. The menu from which you are supposed to do so is unusable so you have to rely on the joystick.ini file in the game folder.
