An improvement over Battlestations: Midway in a lot of ways, though some changes aren't to my taste. Two strong campaigns, with variety in scenarios like submarine attacks, carrier battles, or invasions. Visuals are greatly improved over the first game, and all the extra mechanics really make the game feel more fully featured.
Personally though, I find some of the depth in those systems is lost when compared to the more barebones first game, things like management of aircraft on carriers, or micro-managing damage control for ships. These things are now more accessible, but just feel...barebones in my opinion.
Overall though, this game is superior to it's predecessor, and once again, a fun game to play within a very inaccessible and barren niche of strategy games.
