Pearl Harbor: Zero Hour is a simple, fast, and fun shooter. Thrill to arcade air combat over land and sea as you fight Japanese forces in 10 missions drawn from the actual Pacific campaign of World War II, including the Battle of Midway and Guadalcanal. Fly 14 authentically designed American planes as you dogfight Japanese fighters and bombers, torpedo battleships and destroyers, and dive-bomb air bases and other land installations. Pearl Harbor: Zero Hour even contains a real-time reenactment of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, including the sinking of the USS Arizona.

Also included is the complete 3-CD audiobook Pearl Harbor by Randall Wallace--the novelization of the major motion picture (a $24 value).

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice game, July 20, 2001

This review is from: Pearl Harbor: Zero Hour (with CD audiobook) (CD-ROM)

... It's true that there is no joystic support, but it's easy to do everything with the keyboard and mouse (You can control the whole instrument panel with the mouse). The game is fun and well done. The graphics are decent and it's not difficult to fly the plane compared to Flight Simulator or Combat Simulator. The Combat Simulator has better graphics but it's much more difficult to master.

Pearl Harbor Zero Hour Prodives you air to air, air to sea and air to land combat with realistic effects and you can really enjoy the game. It's addictive.

To tell you the truth after finishing both games I think Pearl Harbor is more fun than Combat Simulator 2 Pacific Theather.

Really recommended..

I've always loved WWII aviation but have never been into learning a ton of keyboard controls just to have a simple dogfight. This game has simplified all of that with a simple control system that allows the game to play like an arcade game but with the 3D graphics and realism of a great flight sim. A really cool part of the game is watching the battles unfold around you while your dogfighting, torpedo bombing, etc. It has a real cinematic type look and feel to it when you pan the camera all the way out. It also came with the audio adaption of the book, which is a nice bonus considering its modest price tag.

This is a good and fun game with easy to get used to controls. This game includes the game, the "Pearl Harbor" cd novel,and a demo of the game "Real Wars" (a fun real time strategy game). In this 10 level 3D game, you can WATCH the attack on Pearl Harbor (if you have the code you can play it) and play starting with the aftermath of Pearl Harbor through the bombing of Japan, with planes including the Tiger, the Mustang, and the B-17.
