My grandfather was aboard the USS Maryland Battleship while it was stationed in Pearl Harbor. He experienced firsthand, the relentless attacks of the kamikazee pilots as a gunner's mate and was fortunate to survive the attack. Although his eyesight is not a sharp as it was back then, his eye's lit up when he watched me take over as gunner while playing this adrenalin charging game. I believe I saw tears welling up in his old eyes as the realism of the game brought back the experience to him, even though he was merely watching me play. All simulation games should be this realistic and well designed. I highly recommend it to anyone who's a history buff or is need of a good adrenalin rush.

Buyer Beware! The only thing impressive about this game is the box it came in. Graphics are poor. Instruction booklet is poor. You have to realize that this is not a simulation game but an arcade style game. Therefore the main theme of the game is ok in that respect. Thats it however. Jerky graphics. When a plane is shot down it disappears into thin air. No explosions, fire or spiraling into the see. Better DOS games have been made. This is a very poor effort by the manufacture. Profits first customers second.

This game is highly recommended for those who enjoy the thrill of battle and can still stay alive! The reason for the 3 stars is because the game has a problem with graphic representations with the Voodoo3 3D cards. On the CD, they give 2 (that I've found so far) different websites for updates and patches. Neither has information on this particular game. The readme file and the little book that comes with the game doesn't tell you all the controls you can use for the game and there is no joystick selection available, its all done with your mouse. But regardless of these factors, the game is fun and really gets you into the action quickly.

My 14 year old son and I loaded Pearl Harbor with much anticipation last night as we were eager to see this much talked about game. Boy - what a dissapointment!!! My son played for about 20 minutes before he said: "Dad, I'm sorry but you wasted your money. This game is terrible." and went to bed.

It is lacking in realism and excitement. It is along the line of an arcade game in that you point and shoot at a moving target which becomes very boring in a short period of time. The hype is that you will sense the battle itself but I felt as if I was very detached from the overall action. The graphics are poor and the game itself is totally lacking. I'm a novice gamer and on my second attempt I was able to complete all levels. Hate to say it but this game is a dud.

Not Good!!!

This game is actually pretty horrible. The graphics are not very detailed and all the game really entails is sitting in a stationary position shooting at Japanese aircraft. The game has absolutely no depth and the average person I became bored with it rather quickly.

The best game ever!!!!!!!!!!

Another tired Wizard Works piece of crap. You've heard of diploma mills before right? Well, this company is in the game mill business. They believe quantity (the more cheap games they put out the better their chances at profit) is better than quality. After playing the Deer Hunter games I should have known better, but I too was drawn in by the title. Everyone else that disliked this dog pretty much summed up the bad elements. So I'll just add that you might as well spend the ... and go see the movie 'Pearl Harbor' with your buddies/girlfriend/wife/whatever. Great flick, horrible game.

Good... for the first thirty minutes

Defend the fleet is a TERRIBLE game. For the first thirty minutes, its pretty cool, shooting down all the airplanes. But then, as you get farther and farther in the levels, they are the same as the first one, and you cant even save a game. The GRAPHICS are TERRIBLE, and it is not realistic at all. I do not recommend this game at all, and i hope no one wastes their money on this game like i did.
