I have been really jonesin for this game ever since I first saw the trailers for it about three weeks ago. It’s due out for the end of January, and I hope they hold to that date. Lately it seems every video game I like is pushed back - often for months. I’ve been waiting on Forza 2 Motorsports for about three months now, and that one isn’t due until about April at the earliest.

Battle Stations Midway is going to really rock in online multiplayer. I can’t wait to get my WW II on with other strategists around the globe. Here’s the description from IGN:

Battlestations: Midway blends intense 3rd-person action with epic, large-scale naval combat and brings to life the great Pacific battles of World War II. From the chaos of Pearl Harbor, through the Philippines, Java and the Coral Sea all the way to the epic Battle of Midway.

Players can relive classic battles with realistic locations and accurate historical detail and take part in huge 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, many of which are based on actual historical vehicles, from a 3rd-person perspective.

Single Player mode features 11 large-scale campaigns with 12 bonus challenge missions while the online multi-player combat offers an entirely new online battle experience and features head-to-head and co-operative battles featuring over 60 Allied and Japanese units.
