May 18, 2007 – It's time for gamers to take to the skies, as CDV Software Entertainment USA and Legendo Entertainment have released a new single-player demo for their upcoming WWII aerial combat title - Attack on Pearl Harbor. The 125 MB demo contains four playable missions. For the two American missions, the player is first challenged to fly as a P-40 fighter trying to defend against the overwhelming Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The player then pilots a U.S. Navy TBM Avenger on a torpedo bombing run, looking to cripple portions of the Imperial Japanese Navy afloat near Wake Island. The first Japanese mission will launch gamers on bombing runs with the ferocious D3A1 "Val" dive-bomber, while the second will throw them into fast and furious air-to-air action in the nimble A6M1 "Zero" fighter.
The demo contains a total of four missions (out of the more than 50 included in the full game) across two expansive maps to give players a taste of the white-knuckle arcade combat action in the Pacific Theater that is the focus of Attack on Pearl Harbor. The demo is available at the mirrors below, and more information about the game can be found at http://www.pearlharbor-game.com and http://www.gamespress.com/cdv. Attack on Pearl Harbor will ship to North American retail in early July 2007.
Attack on Pearl Harbor is an aerial combat game that will allow players to relive the action-filled dogfights of the Pacific Theater of WWII as both Japanese and American pilots. Featuring arcade-styled gameplay, an accessible interface and extensive tutorials, players will be able to quickly jump into the cockpit and take part in exciting aerial battles. Richly detailed graphics, graphic-novel inspired cutscenes and realistic radio chatter round out the experience. Attack on Pearl Harbor features four solo campaigns, a "quick play" dogfight mode and online multiplayer (12-player LAN and Internet) gameplay. In addition to the initial Japanese attack on Oahu, the game also offers a host of famed and challenging scenarios such as the Battle of Midway, Iwo Jima, Burma and Manila. Each campaign spans several months during 1941-1945, presenting an exciting and varied selection of missions.
