Battlestations: Pacific

Cockpit views are the best I've ever seen on consoles to date. You can even see the stick and throttle. Also they have an offline skirmish mode so there's endless hours of flying to be had. I see a lot of similarities with BOP in this game. Really pumped for it now.

Check out this vid to see what I mean:

It looks like a lot of fun, but too much HUD stuff on screen for my liking.

Graphically, i don't think it comes even close to BOP. The textures are very muddy. Personally i prefer the crisp look of BOP (based on what i have seen in videos).

BoP definitely has better graphics for sure.

Yeah based on the videos we've seen i really can't think of a better looking game on the 360.

Hopefully those graphics are not downgraded in the final version because of framerate issues etc.

Yeah, the game looks very 'arcady' and has a lot of arcade modes but has over 40 planes with cockpit views so it could keep us buisy until BoP comes out. BTW i posted this from my ipod. These things are awesome!

Demo is available on xbl now.

The really sad part is... they expended enough effort to have produced a really decent PC based CFS software, that would have had great possibilities for future addons,etc.

As it is, they'll bring it out for the quick gamer bucks and have to make another complete application again for the next go round. LOL

The explosions and pyros are plenty noisy and exciting. A lot going on.
