Gameplay

Great Naval Battles Vol. II: Guadalcanal 1942–43 depicts naval combat in the Pacific Ocean during World War II.[1][2]

Reception

Computer Gaming World in July 1994 rated Great Naval Battles Vol. 2, Guadalcanal 2.5 stars out of five. The reviewer praised the "simply superb" graphics and ability to automate or manually control systems. He criticized the inadequate documentation, reporting that he needed more than ten hours to learn how to play, and lack of replay value in the historical scenarios and "boring, ahistorical, and monotonous" campaign. The reviewer concluded that SSI should combine its graphics and detail with Gary Grigsby's Pacific War's game design.[3]
