Go Down Fightingīattlestations: Midway is concentrated around the use of over 50 different ship types, all based on actual designs borrowed from the National Maritime Museum, with each mission played out on a huge map of at least 1,600 square kilometres of islands and open sea. You do this with the tap of a button, and the Al immediately jumps in to take care of the craft you've just vacated. This means you can, for example, switch in real-time from being a submarine captain stalking an enemy aircraft carrier, to piloting a dive bomber flying high above a cargo transporter.

You can choose either a US or Japanese campaign consisting of more than 20 authentic missions, where, in addition to commanding over 100 air, sea and land units in a Command & Conquer RTS style, you have the option of taking direct control of any of them at any time.

Battlestations: Midway from Hungarian developer Mithis, is the latest title to document the bitter confrontation between Allied and Japanese forces a mixture of seafaring action and strategy beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbour in Hawaii on December 7 1941, that brought America into WWII, and ending with the pivotal Battle of Midway six months later.

Dark Clouds are now gathering over the Pacific for the next generation of WWII-themed games, with Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault and Pacific Fighters already sailing east.
