Battlestations: Midway Screenshots & Release Date Drop

Eidos, the company that used to make hit games way back in the before time, has released some new screenshots for Battlestations: Midway, as well as finally revealed the Xbox 360 release date. The game, which is now due to ship on February 9, may not put the publisher back on the map but should fit in nicely for the hardest core WWII buffs or flight and naval sim fans.

Battlestations: Midway follows the story of naval recruit Henry Walker, whose first assignment as a gunner at Pearl Harbor is the starting point of an incredible career at the heart of the US Pacific Fleet in 1942, in what was to become one of the most inspirational military campaigns in history.

For the first time, relive the intensity of massive air, sea and underwater WWII battles in a unique mix of intense action and tactical gameplay. Directly control dozens of highly detailed warships, aircraft and submarines in a ‘free-control’ environment as you design and execute the best plans of attack. Command the colossal firepower of a fully armed battleship, engage the enemy in fierce dogfights through flak-infested skies or utilize the stealth of your submarine to unleash deadly torpedo attacks on unsuspecting enemies.
