I`ve read nothing but bad things about this so far. Such a shame.

After playing this game on xbox live with 7 other people, I have to say that I've been having a lot of fun. I know that some of you are dissapointed that it is not a simulation type of game but sometimes it's fun to take a step back from hardcore simming at least I think so. I liked the fact that you can use real tactics instead of just going in and shooting everything that moves. I enjoyed taking down jap BB's with my destroyer's torps for instance. I think this game is pretty good for what it tries to do. I don't have very many xbox games because they are 60 dollars but this one is my next buy.

AJ! they do have a tactical map screen where you can order ships,subs,planes to waypoints or to attack etc.

Yeah i know. What i was saying was theres no in game birds eye view to watch all the action happen. in the tactical map you cant watch all the fights...

Like i said though its a very nice looking game assuming you can run it all.

So is there ANY camera view possible at all from outside a unit?? Wow, that is disappointing if not. I like to watch the action.

Yeah you have to watch through a unit which is why the planes are the best part...

Has anyone in the states played the full game yet? is it any better then the demo, and are there much bigger ship battles?

Also is there a skirmish mode or a quick battle mode?

After getting it to work, one 20 minute multi-player is enough for me....

I am not much into arcade games, even if the eye-candy is impressive.
