Eidos Interactive has released new screenshots of Battlestations: Midway, their forthcoming action game.
The game combines powerful 3rd-person action with classic, large-scale naval combat and brings to life the immense Pacific battles of World War II. It includes all the famous WW II historical moments, from the chaos of Pearl Harbor, through the Philippines, Java and the Coral Sea all the way to the epic Battle of Midway. Gamers can experience again classic battles with realistic locations along with perfect historical details and join in enormous multi-unit online battles with up to eight players controlling over 60 units. Players can take direct control of over 60 different warships, planes and submarines, which are based on actual historical vehicles, from a 3rd-person viewpoint. Single Player mode features 11 large-scale operations with 12 extra challenge missions while the online multi-player combat presents a completely new online battle experience and features head-to-head and co-operative battles featuring over 60 Allied and Japanese units.
Battlestations: Midway has been developed and published by Eidos Interactive. The game will release later this year on Gizmondo, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360 platforms.
