Description: The game has four levels. The first scenario is to fight a carrier without the escort of anti-aircraft destroyers, and the rest are to fight a carrier with the escort of one to three anti-aircraft destroyers. As the number of anti-aircraft guns increases, the game becomes more and more difficult.
Review: ‘Midway:Sink the Japanese Aircraft Carriers’ is basically a kamikaze pilot simulator. Sure, you might be sinking Japanese Aircraft, but the dive-bomb method is the same. You have basic control over your WW2 plane from up and down, side to side. No speed control and no guns, just the trigger button for dropping a single bomb. This app might cost less than a Mars bar, but I would have had way more fun eating that than playing this. It’s shallow, pointless and unless you cheat and go your own way it is pretty much impossible to play! Add to that there is only one mission, no score, no replay value at all! Sorry, but even at this low price it still gets a thumbs down.
