Computer games these days have a tendency of trying to be overly epic and complicated. All the simple stuff tends to be found only on the consoles and PC gamers get the ports - usually rushed and tailored for a joypad. In that context, it's refreshing to see a good, simple arcade game made for PC.
Attack on Pearl Harbor is simple - it's a third-person arcade shooter with WW2 planes. You can fly freely within the mission area, and each mission has a set of goals to perform, but it's all kept very simple and easy to play. The closest thing one could compare this to might be the excellent Ace Combat series on the PlayStation consoles (with the drool-inducing sixth installment heading to Xbox 360 this fall). In a game like this, realism is something for dweebs - no in-cockpit view, infinite ammunition and infinite bombs, torpedoes or rockets. No complex maps or attack plans, and no wrestling with realistic flight models either; just take a plane for a spin and shoot down stuff. Just for fun.
Each side of the WW2 Pacific theater is represented, and you have a handful of famous WW2 aircraft available to pilot. In the US campaign you can fly P-40 "Warhawk", F4U Corsair, Supermarine Seafire, TBF Avenger torpedo bomber and SBD Dauntless dive bomber. Japanese planes available are Mitsubishi A6M1 "Zero", Nakajima J1N1 "Gekko", Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" torpedo bomber, Aichi D3A "Val" dive bomber. US Pilots also get to cover B25 Mitchell bombers (non-flyable) during their campaign and the Japanese get shoot them down during their tour.
