Great exterior, cumbersome interior, The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific is more deserving of its license than most licensed products. The war films and historical information are delivered quickly and efficiently, getting straight to the point as a catalyst for the game. The first-person shooting, however, doesn’t have any historical value. By the end of next year, players might remember the presentation, but they’ll have long forgotten the gameplay content.

Pelistä puuttuu kaikki se mitä sotapeleihin on saatu viimeisen 15 vuoden aikana mukaan. Esimerkiksi minkäänlaisia ajoneuvoja ei pelaajan käyttöön anneta, vaikka ei niistä toisaalta mitään iloa käsittämättömän pienissä ja putkena etenevissä kentissä olisikaan. Moninpeliä jaksaa jonkin verran, sillä huonosti suunnitellut moninpelikentät ainakin poikkeavat laadukkaampien pelien kenttämalleista selvästi. Pelin aihevalinta on tylsääkin tylsempi, mutta piristävästi sentään sotatantereeksi on valittu vähemmän käsitelty Tyyni valtameri. Battle for the Pacific sopii niille, joiden mielestä nykypelit ovat vaikeita, liian pitkiä ja liikaa fiktioon nojaavia. Peliä sen sijaan kannattaa välttää, mikäli joskus on päässyt pelaamaan yhtäkään Medal of Honoria tai Call of Dutya, sillä näiden sarjojen rinnalla Battle for Pacific tuntuu itsessään pelkältä 90-lukuiselta historialliselta muinaismuistolta.

The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific isn't necessarily an atrocious game, but it just isn't that fun and brings so very little to the table. As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, there are numerous FPS games out there now that are highly worth your time. Try them. Leave Battle for the Pacific on the shelf, unless you're legally bound to own every World War II-related videogame ever made. If that's the case, we feel bad for you.

Game Chronicles
The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific is just too little and far too late. The WWII genre isn’t exactly short on titles these days nor is the FPS genre. If you plan on releasing a game in either (and especially both) you had better bring your “A” game.
Battle for the Pacific might appeal to the older crowd; you know…the people who watch The History Channel trying to spot themselves in the footage, but any serious gamer needs to leave this one in the trenches.

Add in frame-rate problems, stiff controls, and sub-par voice acting, and Battle for the Pacific really shouldn't have made it to store shelves. When a game's only achievement is that it's a better World War II shooter than Hour of Victory - and just barely - it's time to pack it up and just go home.

Everyone is probably better off battling through Activision's own Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare instead. Considering the quality experience that game provides both with and without an Internet connection, my recommendation is that you check it out and forget about Battle for the Pacific.

Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, Battle for the pacific est loin de remplir son contrat. Mou, plat, avec des décors qui se ressemblent tous, court et horriblement répétitif, le titre de Cauldron ne parviendra sans doute à plaire qu’à quelques rares amateurs de FPS se déroulant durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré un aspect visuel plutôt réussi et une localisation de l’action inédite sur les consoles de cette génération, le soft ne parvient pas à sortir de son moule bas de gamme…

On notera également la réutilisation à outrance des modèles, textures, bruitages et autres trucs de Payback, comme son fameux moteur qui rame sans raison apparente. Ajoutez une durée de vie qui ne dépasse pas les deux heures, un scénario sans queue ni tête ainsi qu'un mode multijoueur classique au possible et complètement déserté à ce glorieux bilan, et l'on atteindrait presque le niveau zéro de l'amusement pour quiconque a déjà touché à un FPS.

Can you believe this two-hour-long heap costs $50? With gameplay this bad and little value to speak of, this is a history lesson that should stay buried in the past.

Battle For The Pacific fait probablement partie des FPS les plus barbants de l'histoire. Ses missions sont terminées avant même qu'on ait eu le temps de comprendre qu'elles avaient commencé, ses niveaux sont une incessante répétition des mêmes décors et séquences - quand on ne tourne pas carrément en rond sur une carte de 800 mètres carrés - et on boucle la chose le temps de prendre un gros repas. Pfiou, ben vivement la suite ou mieux, un Thema Arte : Battle For Corsica.
