Good...Very Good; but not Great. |
| Aaron from Millbrook, USA says (28/Nov/2003): |
Graphics are awesome. Gameplay is very well done, combat action is very realistic. I really love the music and some of the speacial features available after each misson. Kinda gives you a feeling of being there. As great as everything was the game is way to short. All of a sudden, you finish a misson and... its over. What the heck!?! Not to mention the battle at Pearl Harbor is no where near as realistic as D-Day was. That was very disappointing. Overall this game was very well done with graphics, gameplay, sound, & historical facts. This game does an exellent job of bringing the War for the Pacific into some kind of perspective for the new generations of gamers. Let us never forget the sacrifices of those who have served their country for the freedom we have today.

Well done but way too short |
| A gamer says (21/Nov/2003): |
First let me say that, in most aspects, this is a great war shooter. Enemy tactics are historically acurate. I honestly did not know how they would top the D-Day landing in the last game, but being at Pearl Harbor was equally intense and terrifying.
My complaint is that the game was way too short. I worked through the game and was very surprised after finishing a particular mission that I had beaten the game. I felt cheated. There should have been at least 2-3 more levels of gameplay. I also feel that gamers should at least have a sense that they are on the last mission of the game. After all of that work there should be a sense of climax.
Overall this was a great game and I will continue to play the series. Hopefully these problems will be corrected in the next game.

Not Good |
| BlitzKrieg from Danbury,CT says (7/Dec/2003): |
It's obvious the MOH staff was downsized, drunk or high when they produced this game! The game seemed so linear, even though some of the levels seemingly had 8 different ways to go or try. Hidden and secret items that can only be found by accident, long but repetitive levels, sometimes I would shoot an unarmored soldier at least 10 times in the chest, other times it would only take 1 or 2, melee instant kill?!!, kamikaze? HAH!!! I blitzed enemy targets more than they...I could go on and on about the flaws in the game. A lot of games have flaws, but the good ones have something to overpower their flaws and make you forget about them or accept them, THIS GAME DOES NOT!!! I expected more from a game with a great history such as this title...BOOOOOOOO!!!!!

A Fast Buck for EA Games |
| FRESHMEAT from NEW JERSEY, USA says (10/Jan/2004): |
I enjoyed portions of the game but felt EA Games simply churned this out for a quick Christmas buck. The level of detail and intensity experienced in Allied Assault was missing. I would have also appreciated being able to select my own weapons from a list. The Colt45 pistol hardly has any stopping power...whats with that? A PT Boat torpedo scenaro would have been a good campaign or some other naval battle. Where was the 'Tokoyo Express' and the 'Solomon Slot' battles? Having 9 or so levels for fifty bucks is a ripe-off. And as far as first person shooter games are concerned, viewing your 'man' from above and behind as a full-figure is more enjoyable (Desert Storm allows you to toggle between 'thru-the-eyes' and 'full-figure' viewing).

Short, but still sweet! |
| J-Rod from Council Bluffs, Iowa says (1/Jan/2004): |
Ok, to all you gamers out there that thought the game was bad, I will have to disagree. The length of the game was too short, but thats how it goes. You have to give them credit for throwing Multiplayer and 2 player campaigns on there, Graphics were better the Frontline, the jungle scenes are much harder on a tougher lever... Maybe you should try it on the hard mode, you won't go through it as fast, and maybe thats why they call it HARD, All in all, I tip my glass to the makers of Rising Sun, Impressive gameplay and layout, made it hard for me to put the controller down. I did only finish the game in two days, just like most of the other gamers who have it, but maybe thats why it didn't take long to beat....Great Game!

THIS GAME RULES!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Kevin mcdonald from Ohio,USA says (11/Aug/2004): |
Medel of Honor riseing sun has exallent guns, eniemies, and every thing else rules!( Exept when the jap kills Tanka).If you like war games you love this one!The game rules!I love it!Its simple if you keep trying.The multiplayer campain rules to!There is alot of levels for a while of fun but what stinks is that there should be more!When you and Bromly fly of in the zero when the aircraft carrier sinks he says ''lets get your brother.''Then it ends!Sure thats a con but hay the games gold.I loved the game and i hope you do to. Yes it could be improved but EA made another hit.EA you guys rule!!!!Theres tons of unlockabels and codes so start playing!I recomend getting a used but its your choice.

This Game Sucks!!! |
| Cory from Gilbert,AZ USA says (9/Mar/2004): |
What a waste of $50. Too many glitches... Too few levels...Too easy...Too predictable... Too boering. All the Japanese soilders react the same. I could not shot any Japs in a room that I had not crossed the door threshold, I got stuck in the hotel (could'nt open door to kitchen in ballroom) I had to restart first level several times( kept freezing in same spot) Head shots didn't drop Japs like they should have. The weapons selection sucked. The graphics were o.k. but very basic. Sounds were basic too. EA rushed to finish this game in time for X-Mass release and put out one big pile of crap. No way I buy the next one on release date, I'll wait for the player reviews first.

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Thomas from USA massachusetts says (15/Feb/2004): |
when I first tried this game i thought i wouldent like it but when i played it the graphics where asome but the levels where short but after beting it a few times they semmed a little longer.also the graphics where great they seemed so real and sick.the sound was sourda good but i liked the guns better i mean i played so many gun games but this is still the best.plus the pepole looked so reallistick.so far i played all the medal of honor games but this one is the best. also i loved the multiplayer mode more than the real game.i cheacked the online multiplayer it was sick playeing with my friends online but dont take my infomation you shoud cheak it out yourself.

not long enough, but great game to start |
| D. from mankato, mn says (18/Jan/2004): |
this game was generally a decent game. aside from a few problems with the aiming and the survival of some enemy soldiers after clean headshots i think it rocks. the a.i. comes as close as possible to demonstrating the ferocity of the japanese soldiers demonstrated by the repeated stabbing inflicted if you allow them in range. the gameplay was sometimes choppy but bearable. the only really bad thing about it tomewas is extremely short lenght. i beat it in less than 10 hours. i just have to remember that this is only the first of what is expected to be a 3 part game, this one dedicated to the "rising sun". hopefully the next installment will be longer.

The game was OK but left out one Key battle |
| Dave from Winnipeg, MB, Canada says (14/Dec/2003): |
The middle levels are the best ones, Midnight raid, pistol pete and the one in Burma. I think they missed a big battle , after the aircraft carrier they should have included the Sands of Iwo jima. What better way to end the game than the raising of the flag on the island at the end. That is easily one of the most famous and patriotic symbols from the battle of the pacific in WWII. The game plays on the significance of battles and history through out, why leave it out? A suggestion for future versions, include it the game play would really solid, beach landing, undergroud caves, pillboxes, and a bunker with the command group at the end.

this game is the worst game ever!!!!!!!!!! |
| danny from England says (14/Jan/2004): |
this game sucks i dont reccomend anyone buying this game i compleated it in a week. all the votes in shops say its the best but i dont think so. the cheats are good but the graphics sucks and so does the adventure. my brother thinks this game is the best game ever invented. even the one for ps1 beats this game. whats the point of making a game where people lost there lives. isnt it just so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my Grandad died in this war and we go on about killing Nazis and the Japenize, i dont think they like this game much. i hope others think about my thoughts and dont buy this game please dont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good game but not as hard as others in the series |
| Bill from ontario canada says (20/Nov/2003): |
I thought the graphics in this game were the best of the series. The gameplay was also quite good. However as a challenge it was not very hard to do. Now granted I had it in easy mode for the first time out as everyone does. Even so MOH frontline was much more difficult and took alot longer to complete in the same mode. If it were`nt for the fact that some of the levels are quite long it would have taken no time to beat this game at all. I always try to beat the game first and then the second time around look for the hidden surprises and extras. I have`nt even looked for a cheat for this game yet and it still took no time to win.

Semper Fi |
| Gunny from Niles, IL,USA says (3/Jan/2004): |
This game is AWESOME!!! I like the fact that it is the first MOH Game With the Marine Corps. Killen Japs and nips Are fun.
They even throw in some krauts to kill on the Hotel mission!!!
If you don't like this game You are one heck of a sailor lover!!! I don't know anyone who is a sailor lover and really, I DON'T WANT TO!!! I'm telling you this game is just amazing, especially for a person who loves the Marine Corps!!! (ME)
If they make another Medal of Honor game, I will be the first one to buy it. For all the people who enjoy this game. Semper Fi - that means always faithful in the Marine Corps.

Sucked - MOH crew, stay in Europe!! |
| Greg Faris from Arnhem, CA.... says (13/Dec/2003): |
The screenshots didn't look promising when I first laid eyes on them....and after playing this new installment, It's as bad as I thought it would be. There is NOTHING here that draws you into the game.
There is something "magical" about shooting Nazis in "WW2 Europa"....with authentic weapons and sound. Long live the first three MOH titles. (Though Underground was WEAK!)
MOH team? Yoo-hoo? STAY IN EUROPE! You have now tried the Pacific, and you can see the results. There is a reason why "Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" were well received.....and "Wind Talkers" SUCKED!
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What they missed |
| Yo Diggs from St. Charles, Illinois, USA says (2/Dec/2003): |
You guys who say this game rules have obviously never played Day of Defeat. That is the best WW2 shooter to date. This game could learn much from that game. The only two guns that looked realistic were the garand and the springfield. All the others looked like crap. This game was decent, honestly much better than the others, however replay value is at a loss. The game needs more open environments, let the player go wherever they want, and it needs to be more realistic. This game's background, with gameplay like DOD and Ghost Recon would be the best game around. Maybe next time...yeah right!

MP5 good game |
| A gamer from NEW JERSEY USA says (5/Jan/2004): |
when i first started the game it rocked!! the Pearl harbor missions were really relistic. The jungle levels are good the weapons are good (the sten MK 2 and the thompson).The sound is good but those japs get REAL annoying after awhile.The online broad band and the multiplayer make up for the amount of levels. I dont understand how people complain about how easy it is when the can change the difficulty! the graphics are improved and i like how there are now cinamas. This game is great but i prefer the last MOH because the amount of levels in it. but other wise rising sun is dominate.

What is the problem? |
| A gamer from Bremerton, WA says (25/Dec/2003): |
All in all, a great game. Historically correct, nicely rendered. Smoother and more playable than the earlier MOH titles. Adding more vehicles such as the PT boat and its huge environments helped the game significantly. I could pick apart the game and say that it sucks compared to this version or that, but I don't have the other versions. This game allows me to do everything that I expect in a first person shooter. Shoot enemies, blow up enemies, and butt-stroke them if I run out of ammo. DId I mention that the graphics are AWESOME? Well made and satisfies this gamer!

IT WAS OK but |
| kyle -the game freak! from calgary says (10/Dec/2003): |
Not even close is good is i thought it would be and the 2 players was pretty cool i loved how u both can be on the same team and beat levels together.The graffics where not bad and the gamepaly was kinda not as good as i was hoping.My favorrie medal of honor is allied assault because you get to paly ommha beach and the missions where GREAT.The guns in this game where pretty awsome.But u didnt get enough team members why do they call it war if u hardly even got team members thats why i loved medal of honor allied assault because in ommha beach u had milloins of team members.

The game aint the greatsest or the worst |
| Big Vic from New York,USA says (15/Jan/2004): |
The guy that says that says this is the worst game causes he beat it less in one week.You an do that in any video game.You probrobly dont have it for the PS2 where it goes online.I like this game cause i luv WWII.I got three WWII games for XMAS!
Iv been waitn for a Pasific theater war game and its here.Maaybye you should put the game on hard..yeah. The AI is not that great in some situations.I got every console game
of MOH.Its the only console World War II game and evry one should be happy some one cares to make one.It will be the only one till Call of Duty comes out.
|
GREAT BUT THE GAME HAS A PROBLEM! |
| Eugene from USA says (21/May/2004): |
The game is cool yet they should put more missions,action, enemies,sound effects, and weapons.I do like the multi-player and the cheats though. THE ENDING should be like Medal of honor frontline's ending and the battles should be like Call of Duty. They should make the japanese,germans and the allies tougher and smarter like the real people during ww2.I wish they could put Iwo Jima in this game,it may be better and the levels seems real.The sound effects aren't exciting and the enemies who do banzia should run faster except the officers with swords.
