However, the appeal of this game lies not in its similarity to other games, but in its focus, which favors historical accuracy over cinematic spectacle.Īctivision (publisher of the popular World War II series Call of Duty) teamed up with the History Channel to develop Battle for the Pacific, sprinkling real battle footage and documentary clips from the History Channel throughout the gameplay. And as far as the gameplay itself is concerned, it is.
From its familiar heads-up display to its combat system and objective-based missions, The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific appears to be a carbon copy of nearly every other World War II–era first-person shooter.
