Game Description

Fight some of the greatest battles in recorded history, all re-created with uncanny accuracy by the History Channel. Don the war helmet of an American GI and step into the realm of the Pacific Theater, where you'll face down an emperor's army made up of soldiers who don't know the meaning of the word surrender. Experience incredible intensity and drama on WWII's most epic battlefields, ranging from Wake Island to Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Wield authentic weaponry used by both Axis and Allied forces, complete missions based on actual battleplans, and more. The fight continues online, where up to 16 can meet in encounters ripped from the pages of history.
