Attack on Pearl Harbor (video game)

Attack on Pearl Harbor is a combat flight simulation game developed by Legendo Entertainment[a] and published by Ascaron and CDV Software.

[6] The player assumes control of several historic aircraft, including the Douglas SBD Dauntless, Aichi D3A, Vought F4U Corsair, and Mitsubishi A6M Zero.

Aircraft carry unlimited ammunition, limited only by overheating for machine guns and reloading times for rockets, bombs, and torpedoes.

[8] The single-player component also features a mode titled Dogfight, wherein the player selects the venue, weather conditions, aircraft type, and difficulty.

[6][8][9] Attack on Pearl Harbor was produced by Legendo Entertainment and co-developed with 3DIVISION and Arcade Moon,[1][2] and was published by Ascaron worldwide and by CDV Software in North America.

[25] Conversely, IGN's Charles Onyett concluded that the game "manage[s] to take something as interesting as World War II's air battle over the Pacific and turn it into something as repetitive as bouncing a tennis ball against a wall".

[26] PC Gamer's Mahood described the graphics as "lush",[9] and GameZone's Michael Lafferty called them "terrific", praising the satisfaction of effective combat.

[26] GameSpot's Brett Todd found the terrain "a bit odd-looking" but commended the technical performance,[6] and John Walker of PC Gamer (UK) praised the weather and smoke effects, but criticized the lack of detail on buildings and aircraft.

[18] Gamekult's Gaël Fouquet considered the game boring even in multiplayer, though he found hunting down enemy planes with a mouse click occasionally amusing.
