Battle Over Treacherous Pacific Waters In Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies

There's a brand new Sid Meier app in the App Store: Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies. The game, which launched earlier today and is available for $4.99, is a sequel to the original Sid Meier's Ace Patrol. This launched back in May, and allows iDevice owners to take to the skies of 1900s Europe in a number of air-based missions and scenarios. Now, however, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch owners can join in the virtual warfare of World War II in more than 180 battles, including those of Pearl Harbor, Midway, and Guadalcanal. More specifically, as the app's name suggests, Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies relocates gamers to "the treacherous Pacific waters where ace pilots redefine historic World War II battles." In the application's release notes, 2K Games explains:

Battle to Rule the Pacific Skies! Take flight over the treacherous Pacific waters where ace pilots redefine historic World War II battles! Skillfully pilot the most iconic American and Japanese fighter planes of the Pacific War while representing the Army or Navy. Upgrade your fighters and promote your leading pilots so they master new skills needed to ambush an enemy VIP, rescue POW pilots or torpedo bomb enemy targets!

Sid Meier's Ace Patrol and Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies are just two iOS applications available in the App Store based on creations by the legendary video game designer. As a reminder, further Sid Meier iOS titles include Sid Meier's Pirates! and Civilization Revolution. Features of the Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies include:
