3.0 out of 5 stars This is Pearl Harbor in a slightly different format., February 15, 2003

A year or two ago, I bought Pearl Harbor, I believe that's the name... Anyway, it's a game where you simply shoot down the jap planes... The guns operate very loosely and after awhile, you get annoyed because they're so hard to control. Well, Infogrames came out with a near duplicate... Does exactly the same stuff and is still difficult to control. It's definitely amusing though. But, it won't play when I click on the icon, so I have to load the... game EVERY time I want to play! Very, very annoying... It's not a bad game. It can be fun at times... but, if you have Windows XP; the so-called gaming system, you'll have trouble with it... Why can't these game makers make games that will load automatically? I give up...

I bought the game and played it for a couple hours and got bored... Sure, you get to [aim] at Jap planes, but I get fed up trying to aim when the [weapons] constantly sway back and fourth. You have poor control over the [weapons], I don't like that... Still, it's sort of fun to play... for awhile... You takes your chances... I'm not for or against this one... You get to [aim] from several different mounts aboard ship, you can [aim at] and sink other ships - Jap ships, which I enjoyed... But, you have to keep jumping from one mount to another looking for targets and then your firing range is severely restricted. ...
