Pacific Liberator is a poor attempt to capture what made the ho-hum Desert Strike so much fun back in the day. The controls aren't responsive enough to make you feel like you're flying a military-grade helicopter and the gameplay is repetitive and boring. The game falls under three hours and that's if you play through all the difficulty settings. This is a one hour play-through. Seriously. If you're looking for a good action title there are plenty out there that offer more than this one.

Aside from the obvious jet fighters and spacecraft, players have gone into the cockpits of biplanes, WWII planes, and even classified flying crafts from various wars in history. Interestingly enough, no flight games during this generation or the previous one have had combat helicopters take center stage, aside from appearances in first-person shooters and open-world sandbox games. Players who wanted to take to the skies in combat helicopters would have to dig back into the 16- and 32-bit eras with titles like the Strike series from EA. The release of Pacific Liberator on the Nintendo Wii attempts to fill this gap. While the title's core aspects are quite fun, there are enough flaws to hold it back from being a fun little sleeper hit."
Five new titles heading for Wii is reason enough for a little attention, even though it's pretty sure the Wii versions of these five new titles from Team6 Game Studios won't look as pretty as these PC renders do.
Wow pretty cool, 5 hardcore Wii games. The screenshots dont' look too shabby either.
Man.. that's alot of okay looking racing titles. Really? Noone thinks those graphics can be done on wii? their not all that impressive in my opinion. Whatever that helicopter game sounds alright and I guess glacier 2 sound not too shabby either. Does anyone know if these are retail titles or wiiware? I can't imagine one stuio pumping out this many racing/vehicle titles at the same time unless they are wiiware titles.
