Bought it two weeks ago. I find it a very enjoyable game. Unless I missed something big in recent years, this could be the best experience since Task Force 1942... though not surpassing it.
There are a couple of UI quirks or limitations that can make controlling ships in battle a little awkward and I wish there was a way to delegate a division to an AI commander. Ship formations need improvement. I think the campaign represents certain aspects quite well (supply runs through The Slot, importance of air cover, IJN vs USN torpedoes). Just don't expect a day-by-day recreation of historical events. Some game mechanics favour the use of aircraft and subs, which is a pity since surface engagements is what this game does best. Air vs air combat is cumbersome, to say the least).
Happy I came across this title, I think it has enough to keep me interested until Task Force Admiral comes along.
