Hey all, just wondering if anyone else out there has been having a riot reliving the old memories of 1942 console style?

Been playing it almost all the time when time permits on the 360 and just can't get enough, fantastic fun for an arcade title!!! One of the few purchases I think I can ever recall making on Live Arcade in less than 1 hour of trying it for the first time Smile

Got this on PS3, love this game!! Waiting on the PC version though, I tend to have a hard time aiming.

Been playing on the 360. Absolutely amazing considering the price. It really brings back the perfect mix of chaos and stealth. Although tonight the server keeps crashing. I think EA and DICE are gonna make a killing off of it because they really didnt create anything new per say, just a really well balanced FPS which they have perfected over the years. The plane is really fun once you get the hang of it.

No weapon unlocks kinda blows but for only $15 bucks I cant complain.

By the way, you can really screw people on the Guadalcanal map by sniping from the ship wrecked on the coast. You have to swim to get to it (adds protection once there of course). I capped a few dozen people from this location because nobody expects anyone to shoot from here. Hide in the control room at the front of the boat. Laughing

30 minutes of actual gameplay is pretty generous of Microsoft though.

Gonna give this a whirl, sounds like fun!
Was playing Coral sea yesterday and managed to top score a few times on it, such fun... brilliant when all the opposing side decide to linger your ship carrier, get outa plane and get 4/5 easy kills, rofl.... Class memories like the old days.

Is there a way to get that trial on the ps3 too? As i dont have Xbox gold membership and dont want to buy it.
In the description in PSN Store it is saying you can upgrade your trial to full. But i can only buy it, not download any trial. I have an EU account.

edit: Ok no trial for german store. Wtf is wrong with people these days.

FUCK xbox live! I hate it so much. I just want to enter my card details and pay exactly 15$ for this game, nothing more nothing less, but NO, I have to buy fucking MS points and on EU marketplace they are very expensive. I tried looking online for cheaper points but I don't need a fucking 2100 points card, I just want to pay 15$ for this bloody game and that's it. I want to buy a game and but can't, thanks to nice MS business model.

Well come on. Even if you buy the 2100 points you know you are going to use sooner or later.

Just make a UK PSN account, download it via that, log into your German account and it should be there to play.

It feels modern to me. The only problem is the controls aren't as friendly as they should be. On the PC I can use a joystick for example and that's fine (although even then the controls were pretty shoddy) but they haven't really taken advantage of the gamepad so it feels even more complicated and less responsive than a flight simulator.

I'm not disputing it I'm just asking for a source so I can read up on it.

played it on ps3 a bit, infantry is pretty fun but man the planes are bloody *lame*.
the controls are completely fubared & i can't seem to invert the axis the way i want to trough the control options.

having to aim up to go up feels extremely awkward when flying, i can't get used to it

Thats strange, on the 360 inverted just the flying axis so down pulls up on the joypad, works perfectly, cant figure out the perfect power balance to get a quicker turn in though, anyone with thoughts on this?

lol. During my 30 minute trial I came out on top of scoreboard every single time. I guess that has to do with me playing every single Battlefield game on PC to death as well as Bad Company on 360.
