Pearl Harbor Trilogy: 1941 - Red Sun Rising
Pearl Harbor Trilogy: 1941 - Red Sun Rising, développé et édité par Legendo Entertainment, est sorti le 5 juillet 2010 sur Wii. Premier volet d'une trilogie de jeux de combat aérien pour le service WiiWare, il se rattache au genre simulation. La presse a salué la qualité du titre pour la plateforme, NintendoWorldReport jugeant qu'il s'agit de l'un des meilleurs jeux WiiWare parus à condition d'admettre sa prise en main atypique, tandis que GamingTrend a qualifié l'expérience de « surprenante » et nettement au-dessus de ses attentes. De leur côté, certains joueurs sur Metacritic y voient le meilleur jeu d'action disponible sur WiiWare et l'un des meilleurs jeux de vol sur Wii, tout en évoquant leurs souvenirs de simulateurs de vol sur manche massif.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Red Sun Rising is one of the better WiiWare games released yet, assuming you can adjust to the game's awkward style of controls. »
« The key word throughout this review has been "surprising." Pearl Harbor Trilogy: 1941 - Red Sun Rising is way better than it has any reason to be. Legendo, the developer, is definitely on the right track with this one. If any of this sounds interesting to you, this game can be purchased for only $7 on WiiWare, and I guarantee you'll have a good time with it. »
« For those who survive it, Pearl Harbor Trilogy: Red Sun Rising offers a thrilling experience that will encourage returning to replay it again and again until the next game in the trilogy is released. »
« This adaptation of the PC game Attack of Pearl Harbor has achieved very positive results, and has a noteworthy duration for a downloadable game. »
« An immensely rewarding challenge, well implemented controls and a fair amount of bang for your buck make Pearl Harbor Trilogy – 1941: Red Sun Rising one of the better Wii aerial combat games, and not just on WiiWare. »
« Surprisingly deep given how in-depth and graphically impressive it is. [Sept 2010, p.93] »
« A problem I do have (and where I'll agree with Charles) is in the game's difficulty level -- this one's a bit too tough to get into, with an opening mission that's sure to send you to the Game Over screen more than once before you figure out how to fly through to success. »
« This game has a lot to offer but the difficulty is ridiculously high and it will take a while to get used to the game. If you love a challenge, the fair price of 700 Wii Points shouldn't bother you. »

« So I remember my early experience with war flight simulators. The exact game escapes me but the controller is pretty typical. Big bulky flight stick with a million buttons and triggers and the suction cups on the bottom. First person point of view. Nothing but a pretty blank blue sky. A radar system I didnâ »
« This is the best action game available on WiiWare and one of the best flight games on the Wii. The controls are perfect and really helps add to the fun, and the aerial battles are very impressive with a large number of opponent enemy aircraft and friendly wingmen combating each other. The first mission in the game is Pearl Harbor which is quite difficult but very satisfactory, then again I guess that is what one would expect from a historical game such as this. For only 7 bucks this is a no-brainer as it easily trumps many Wii retail games both in terms of fun and quality. »
« All in all this game is great value for a Wiiware game, with 2 campaigns to play, several planes to fly and a couple of extra game modes. Considering the limitations of the service, the graphical representation is surprisingly good. There's definitely a learning curve as far as the controls go, specifically the nunchuck's motion capabilities used to steer, but once you get used to it they work wonderfully. On the other hand the difficulty curve oddly seems to go in a downwards manner, in which the later levels of the campaign are surprisingly easy compared to the challenging first levels. A multiplayer mode however is sadly missed. »
