Playing either for the United States, Imperial Japan, or a new playable nation - the UK, you walk through a dramatic sequence of large-scale naval and air military operations. The perfect mix of genres remains on this standalone better than ever. Develop weaponry and technologies to improve your units, move your fleet and deploy it in the battlefield and send them to the combat as a general or become a pilot and control one of the planes or ships directly!

    There’s certainly enough depth here to entertain most combat veterans and with a little more in the way of new content it would no doubt have done better following on the success of Battlestations: Midway. Overall an entertaining history lesson that doesn’t let a few minor flaws spoil the fun.

    Overall there is probably not enough in here to make it worth upgrading if you already own the previous version. The new additions and tweaks are all very welcome and should encourage more people to enjoy what is a solid and fascinating game. That said, if you are a war fanatic, as some of us war gamers tend to be, then you will obviously lap up the new features and get a lot more value out of the game.

    A classic case of overreaching, with a few too many stats-based irons in the fire, rather generic RTS elements and hugely clunky flight simulation. [Aug 2007, p.61]

    Pacific Storm: Allies will appeal to those who loved the original game, since it essentially offers more of the same. However, it also hasn't evolved much since then, which is disappointing since there was plenty of room for the production values to improve.

    Toss in some dated graphics, a clunky arcade flight component, and some carryover stability issues, and Pacific Storm: Allies just barely keeps itself afloat. [June 2008, p.72]

    A failed experiment.

    The game is fraught with issues that pop up cryptic error messages and sound bugs that should have been taken care of a long time before this was shipped.

The best I have played was PacWar from the late 90s. I decided to give PSA a try as it was very inexpensive (and older) on steam.

    The game is very clunky with most commands being counter-intuitive. Still the strategic game seemed fun once I got the hang of it. Still clunky like MOO 3. Drill down and do "x" and you can only create groups of ships that are computer approved and so on.

    Combat, I was hoping was like TF 1942 the old Microprose game. Not quite, graphics were sub par but that was not a big deal for me. What most disappointed me was trying to get your ships and aircraft to do much of anything was terrible and the game always started the two sides facing each other at a distance of about 4 km or so. Now an Iowa should be able to blow a Jap cruiser out of the water with ease. The range on the guns is 25 miles or something. I could never get them to shoot the big guns. And when I got frustrated and let the computer run the game, I end up hearing that my carrier TF with 2 or 3 carriers 3 Iowas and so on was destroyed, to a ship, by some DDs and 2 cruisers that sunk the game for me. Save your money.    … Expand
