Take Your Battlestations in Midway, in Battlestations Midway for Xboox 360

Written: Jul 07 '09 (Updated Aug 03 '09)
Pros:A RTS mixed with flight simulator not to common
Cons:This game lacks work on graphics, sounds, and more units.
The Bottom Line: Bottom line make sure you rent or borrow this before you buy it. You will probably be disappointed.

This is a game that puts flight simulator mixed with some RTS capabilities. The game gives you the option to use several different types of aircraft depending on which battle you are fighting. For the most part you usually have the options of 2-4 different types of airplanes. You control the very movement of your plane but not so much as your navy fleet. sometimes you have to do something ridiculous like follow a plane for 5 minutes because they keep flying away from you.

The graphics on this game are poor quality with the need of better graphics and a better Battle engine. It's not to much fun when your flying 100 feet above the ocean or jungle and you suddenly blow up. I've seen better graphics for normal xbox games, and some lower quality systems. The ground pretty much looks the same on the whole map, with the exception of buildings, hills, and bridges. Sometimes the game will move in blotches instead of a smooth game play. If your the graphics kind of player I would avoid this game.

The sound is also not impressive. Missles will fly past you and then you will hear it 2-4 seconds later. For the most part the sounds ussually go off when they are firing at you but not all the time. The music that they used could of been way better. After about an hour of playing I muted the game and put some music on. When your in a battle in the sky shooting at several different planes and being shot at by AA the music should have some type of music that makes the game seem more intense, but it doesn't.

The game play on this game could of been way better. Giving you few options on what kind aircraft you want to use. I am a RTS fan but when your playing a RTS you should have more than several units to pick from. There are several different battles that do get somewhat intense, but for the most part you are fighting only several other planes with some ground support. One of the few cool parts of the game is you can tell your squadron commands. For an example you can tell them to be aggressive, back off, or help shoot the planes following you. But for the most part they are not very help full. The ocean battles can get interesting but as far as battles over jungles, or deserts, it's just not action packed for me. I only played this game for a total of 3 hours, I didn't even want to finish it. I took it back to movie gallery and told them to get rid of it. At least they let me pick another game , probably because of the complaining on this lame game.

I guess if your into the slower games with not a whole lot happening this would be good for you. If your the type of person into a action packed game with Lot's going on this is probably not for you. Well this probably be a interesting game for the younger game players. Or people that don't play video games that much. Overall I don't recommend this game to anyone, unless you have a crappy taste in RTS games. If you are interested in this game at least rent it first because you will probably be disappointed.
