Iwo Jima had a majorimportance for securing an allied victory in the Pacific in World War 2.
This game is suppose to depict that historical event. It does it with a very simple approach: all is set in the same screen, with a map of Iwo Jima, always visible, commands available are few and direct, and again simple. This means the game can became boring, specially for a strategy game which requires patience. Not being a bad strategy game it falls short of appealling and has little enduring charm.
