Expert Reviews

78/100

score

Battlestations: Midway strikes just the right balance between action and strategy to create a game that's as unique as it is enjoyable.

80/100

score

While there are some control issues that feel a bit under whelming at times, the scenarios, battles and war machines to command make this a fun Xbox 360 game.

85/100

score

While so many action games are devoid of strategy and so many strategy games are short on action, Battlestations Midway delivers both.
