    Hi all!

    Battlestations: Pacific is going for $5 on D2D...I was wondering how good this game is? I have read mixed reviews online and wonder what else people think! This is a big price drop from $50.

    I love BF2 and I was wondering how similar the game mechanics are? If I like BF2...would I like this game?

    Thanks!

    Adam

    I think Battlestations is mostly a WW2 airplane firefight game

    You can control the ships, and subs as well...

    I have both and they are completely different than one another.

    BF2 is a FPS shooter while Battlestations is an RTS game.

    Both are good games.

    I believe in 1942 (not that 1943 PoS) you can control the carriers, and maybe the battleships. Cool stuff indeed.

    Really, 1942 > Battlestations. BF2 is sixty years ahead :p
