Battle for the Pacific's presentation isn't bad but it's gameplay has too many flaws to be recommendable. These flaws become even more apparent in light of the increased FPS competition on the Xbox 360. Skip this.

The History Channel implementation, level setup and graphic selections are A+ choices; it’s the execution that tanks the experience.

With the wealth of FPS options for 360 owners, Battle For The Pacific is hardly worth a passing thought.
