Product Description

It's the 4th of June, 1942, and Japanese bombs are raining down on Midway - and you. This lethal assault is a prelude to an invasion whose success gives the enemy control over the Pacific. You are one of the American airmen who hold the outcome of this decisive battle in their hands. You'll have to prove yourself as a fighter, bomber, and reconnaissance pilot, and confront Japanese aces as a bomber and ground AA gunner. The enemy has to be stopped at Midway - and victory's up to you. Relentless action and non-stop excitement at Midway: that's Combat Wings. Take part in the Pacific War's most important battle as fighter, bomber and reconnaissance pilot, a gunner in a Flying Fortress - or an anti-aircraft gunner fending an aircraft carrier or airfield from swarms of enemy planes! A campaign of 21 richly varied missions is complemented by a multiplayer mode that lets you fight for the Americans or the Japanese. Choice of two control modes - arcade action or flight sim, chase and cockpit views, 20 flyable plane types, and spectacular graphics deliver an unforgettable gaming experience packed with thrills and full-blooded combat.

I'm giving this game a high rating, because for being a budget shooter, it was a lot of fun to play. I wasn't expecting much at all,...and I was surprised. It's arcade like, but that's just what I wanted. Like a lot of you out there,...I'm a FPS fan,.....COD, Half Life, Far Cry, FEAR, etc.. It was fun just for a change to fly some airplanes and engage some Zero's. For being a modest game, the visual effects of the dogfights and plane/ship explosions were surprisingly cool looking. (My computer: Athlon 4000 w/ Nvidia 8600 GT card and 2 G of Memory).

Loved the game. It was sealed well and installed fine. Great product and was easy to learn. Takes a bit of time to learn to fly planes with a mouse but did fine. Need to master beginner level before trying advanced levels.
