Fun video war-game that allows a player to be the fleets of: U.K., U.S.A., Germany (with Italy) or Japan during WWII. Scenarios allow you to start off at any one point in the war, example, Japan winning say the Battle of Midway can proceed from there for the rest of the war. Campaign games from the very beginning of the conflict are possible too. Disappointed that there is no ground combat phase like in earlier versions of PTO for the PC but winning in key areas assumes you landed and occupy territory too. Producing and naming your own ships is cool tool. Overall a fun game with great graphics makes for hours of entertainment.
While it's a completely updated version of the SNES game, it has everything one could ask for. In depth engineering of multiple different aircraft classes, CV, BB, BC, CA, CL, DD, SS class ships. Battles feature an in game camera that is pretty easy to use as you can get a great visual of the damage your ships deal out. Not bad for a game about 10 years old.
Game play is lacking. There are no changes for difficulty. It seems to be a game set on easy. The AI is Dumb as a box of rocks. PTO II was WAY BETTER on the SNES back in the day. The Graphics are A++++++ for a PS2. Being able to play as Germany or Japan is great. Not sure about the Tech advancement because I can dominate the world against US, UK and even Japan as a member of the Allies (That is a neat option in the game) and still finish before 1942 with the start year being 1939. So I've never seen all of the possible techs. Overall a good game, but once you played as all 4 countries, there is no other reason to play.
This is by far my favorite of the PTO games released in the states. This title allows you to delegate building fleets, air forces and bases while you worry about the strategy aspect. The best feature of this title is the ability to team up with allies to capture the world. You can pit the British and Japanese against the US and Germany or any combination of the aforementioned powers. One of my favorite features of the game is that you can control your investment in technology to get super weapons before they were actually available. This is fantasy war and strategy combined, and at their best, on the PS2.
Product was incredibly scratched and had a crack in the corner. Unusable.
