Word has come round from cdv Software Entertainment USA and Legendo Entertainment that video game Attack on Pearl Harbor has finally reached gold status. The game is now ready for mass production and will be shipping to stores across North America during the first week of August.

Attack on Pearl Harbor is an arcade aircraft combat game set during World War II. In the game, players can choose to fly as both American and Japanese pilots as they experience some of the most famous aerial battles during the war including the initial Japanese attack on Oahu and the battles in midway and Iwo Jima.

Attack on Pearl Harbor features four solo campaigns, with each campaign spanning several months during 1941-1945. The game also has a "quick play" dogfight mode and online multiplayer over LAN and Internet for up to twelve players.

Ascaron Entertainment and Legendo Entertainment have announced the release of a 150 MB demo containing four playable missions (two American and two Japanese) for their WWII aerial combat title, Attack on Pearl Harbor. The demo is now available at the game's official website under the Demo section.

For the first two American missions, players are tasked with flying a P-40 to defend against the overwhelming Japanese forces. Afterwards, they have to cripple portions of the Japanese Navy afloat near Wake Island.

On the other hand, the Japanese missions have you launching bombing runs using the D3A1 dive bomber (the first mission) and going on dog-fights in the infamously agile A6M1 "Zero" Fighter (the second mission).

To download the demo for Attack on Pearl Harbor feel free to head to the official site via our "read" link below. The complete game is set to be released some time in July 2007.

Better gear up and get ready, you don't wanna be left behind when hundreds of fighter planes dominate the sky above you come July 2007.

If you're going to be a hotshot pilot, you better get yourself familiarized with what plane you're going to fly, and to help players do just that, Legendo Entertainment has released some info on four of the planes that players can use in the upcoming WWII flight sim, Attack on Pearl Harbor. From left to right, the planes below are:

A6M1 Zero Japanese Fighter
Excellent maneuverability and long range made the A6M1 Zero one of the finest fighters of its era. It could turn more sharply than any Allied fighter of the time. To keep its T-7178 aluminum body lightweight, it had a lot less armor and none of the "niceties" found in Allied aircraft.

SBD Dauntless US Dive Bomber
This plane was the U.S. Navy's main dive bomber, although the SBD Dauntless aircraft from USS Enterprise were caught in the Pearl Harbor attack. In the battle of Midway SBD Dauntless aircraft sank four of the Japanese aircraft carriers: the Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu.

F4U Corsair US Fighter
While the Zero could out-turn the F4U, the Corsair was faster and could out-climb and out-dive the enemy fighters. The Japanese named the F4U "whistling death" because of the high-pitched sound it made, caused by airflow through the wing-root oil coolers.

D3A1 Aichi Japanese Bomber
This WWII dive bomber was the primary carrier-borne dive bomber in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early stages of the war, and participated in almost all actions including Pearl Harbor. These aircraft also had enough maneuverability to act as fighters when the need arose.

Swedish gaming company Legendo Entertainment has just released some new screenshots as well as the latest fact sheet for their latest PC game, Attack on Pearl Harbor, which is bound to be released by the second quarter of this year.

The other features that this game boasts of are its intuitive controls, as well as its easy-to-use interface which allows players to get into the action immediately. The game also supports up to 12 players, where one can choose to either fight solo or team up with others to form a squadron.

If you're playing solo, the campaign mode of the game will allow you to decide whether you'll be playing as either the American Douglas Knox of the USAAF or as Zenji Yamada of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.

Once in campaign mode, though, players will be treated to some unique cutscenes as the game advances. These scenes are depicted through graphic-novel-inspired animation panels which the devs think will "bring an exciting and refreshing feel to the game."

Sweden-based game publisher Legendo Entertainment has just released the first in a series of trailers for their upcoming title for the PC, Attack on Pearl Harbor.

So, without further ado, here's the trailer, as well some new screenshots from the game.

"America in an instant became the land of the indivisible," said former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw. "There are so many lessons from that time for our time, none greater than the idea of one nation greater than the sum of its parts."
