The game focuses on the naval and aerial battles of World War II leading up to one of the greatest naval victories of all time, the Battle of Midway, which saw the highly outnumbered US Naval and Air forces take on the might of the most powerful naval force in modern history: the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Battlestations: Midway offers a totally new approach to air, sea and underwater combat, accurately reflecting the atmosphere and situation in the Pacific during 1942. Players take direct control of battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines and planes in a 'free-control' environment, with seamless switching between any of the units under your command: engage in dogfights with enemy fighters through flak-infested skies, utilise the silent attack of your submarine to unleash torpedoes on unsuspecting enemies or command the awesome firepower of an entire carrier group.

Game Features

Revolutionary Gameplay: Experience epic WWII combat from multiple perspectives as you jump between dozens of units, playing as a pilot, a gunner, a submarine captain or even a carrier fleet commander.

Massive Battlefields: Every battle takes place simultaneously in the air, on the sea and beneath the waves. Movement of your fleet and the individual efforts of any one vehicle is critical to success.

Innovative Online Multiplayer: Huge multi-unit online battles with up to 8 players controlling over 100 units via Gamespy.

Authenticity & Realism: Cutting-edge graphics bring the Pacific ocean and island chains alive with lush real-world environments, dynamic weather effects and incredibly detailed vehicles and weaponry.

60 War Machines: Each warship, plane and submarine is authentically designed. The more players know about each units profile, capabilities and weaknesses the better they will fight.

Deep Single-Player: Features 11 epic campaign missions, 12 bonus challenge missions, naval training academy and an immersive storyline.
