Release Date: September 23, 2005
Arcade puzzle game in which we take part in the most famous air battles of World War II, played in the Pacific. The authors have put at our disposal more than 25 historically faithful models of airplanes, and the exceptionally extensive multiplayer mode for eight players deserves attention.
December 7th, 1941: A Japanese naval strike force, including six aircraft carriers, turns into the wind 235 miles north of Oahu, Hawaii. Almost 200 fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes are launched into the air. Their target: Pearl Harbor
Heroes of the Pacific begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor and lets the player participate in some of the most memorable battles of the Pacific campaign, including Wake Island, Midway, and Coral Sea.
For the first time players will experience the epic scope of the battles, placing hundreds of planes on the screen in a single confrontation.
