THIS GAME IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO THE US ARMED FORCES AND ANY FORMER MEMBER. ALL YOU DO IN THIS GAME IS SHOOT AT ENDLESS AMOUTS OF ZEROS AND KATES UNTIL THE COMMANDER TELLS YOU YOUR MISSION IS COMPLETE. THEN THAT IS REPEATED ABOUT 20 TIMES. ALL THE SHIPS SEEM TO SINK EXCEPT YOURS , WHICH REMAINS SPOTLESS AND UNTOUCHED. IT SAYS YOU ARE SENT TO DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME NETHERLESS, BUT JUST WITH EVEN MORE ZEROS THAT DONT EVEN EXPLODE WHEN BLOWN UP. THEY 'MAGICALLY' DISSAPEAR INTO THIN AIR. IM JUST A TEENAGER, BUT I EVEN KNOW THAT THIS PIECE OF JUNK ISNT WORTH THE PACKAGING OR THE TITLE OF A COMPUTER GAME ITSELF. I PITY THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS BECAUSE IF THIS IS WHAT GAMES ARE GONNA BE LIKE FROM THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE IN DEEP DOO-DOO...

It's not as fun as it looks....

when you first play this game, it's a little bit fun. but when you play it a little more than a bit, it gets very dull and boring. the graphics are poor and i dont really like the object of the game: to shoot endless amounts of planes until the commander guy tells you to stop.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

Pearl Harbor Defend the Fleet

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.

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.

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.

Avoid it like the plague!

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.

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.

Not for the serious game players

If you are after a solid challenging game, then this is not for you. However, if you want something simple to waste time, then this game is ok.

It is old style shooter where new things keep poping up and they get harder to hit as time moves on.

Get the current patches! The graphics improve. However, there is still a system crash bug after the 20th level. There are also a couple bugs where there is a "magic portal" in the sky the planes use to reappear behind you. Annoying....

Again, if you are an advanced game player you probably will not like this game.

3dfx card owners, avoid this title!!!...

The Premise of this game is decent, a quick easy action title like Beachhead 2000 & B-17 Gunner also made by Wizardworks/ Infogrames. But if you have a 3dfx card in your system like most of you still do, since 3dfx has been dead only for a couple months, the graphics are ugly and extremely pixelated. Basically the game doesn't look like it does on the box. Infogrames tech support told me after E-mailing them to either return the game or invest in a Nvidia GeForce card, a 3dfx patch is not in the future for DTFPH. Now honestly, who is with any sense is going to spend $150 on a video card for a $20 game that will get old and extremely repetitive like Beachhead 2000 in a month!!!...
