this is just medal of honor, its just perfect, best war series

however, rising sun just was the same

its the same as frontline, except just different people and different maps, nothing new, same weapons, no new features, no live capabilities

frontline deserved a 4 or 5

this is the exact same thing

i expected better, but for the most part, since frontline was great, and this is almost a copy, i rate it a 4, because of no new features

O K Game

I got M O H Rising Sun for my birthday. This game was very short compared to the other M O H games.

The first level was nothing like pearl harbor.

The last level never happened.

It took me a day and a half to complete the game and it was pointless at the end the pilot said " Ok, now lets go get your brother . . . " then the game ends.

They should let there be one last level where you save Donnie instead of having the game end there.

The next game better be about Korea or The gulf war or else don't buy it because it will be a waste of money!

A Pretty Good Game !!!!!!

True, this game is over hyped and isn't an absolute must have but I have had some fun with it. This is yet another Medal of Honor game, in the vast franchise, which brings you to the Pacific Theater of WW2. This game is better than The Frontline in my opinion, with refurbished graphics, smarter AI, THX sound system, cooler missions and environments, vast ammount of weapons, more multi player action- co-op missions for example, and what can I say it was just more fun plainly.

SINGLE PLAYER:
You fight your way in the epic single player campaign from Pearl Harbor, to the struggle of the Philipines, to the jungles of Guadalcanal, or top secret 007 action like a mission Singapore and to famous battles like Bridge over the River Kwai, and you will even make your way to a Japanese Super Carrier. Overall, the single player is very fun and interesting having more of an Indiana Jones and original Medal of Honor feeling, yet it still fell short. What can I say the single player campaign, is plainly too short and easy and will take less than 10 hours for most gamers to beat. I clocked in at a time of 6 hours, and I wasn't really impressed with how they ended the game either. The missions are shorter than I perfered as well, unlike the Frontline's monster missions.

EA obviously rushed this game, and tried to releases ASAP instead of making a great campaign mode. Hey, what can I say despite the flaws I had fun, with the Pacific Theater of War and the new refurbished weapons. The Weapon set is made up of ove 20 authentic WW2 weapons for example the M1 Grand, the Thompson, the Springfield, the Sten Mk 2, the classic B.A.R, and much more. You even get other cool weapons like the Welord- an silenced pistol, and a Type 99 LMG- whihc is a kick @$$ weapon you will get at the last level.

The A.I. (Artifical Intell...) is much smarter than any of the previous Medal of Honor games. For example you must fight against Japanese Banzai charges and a plainly smater enemy, and the fight alongside helpful Allies. Although, there are some great changes in the A.I., but the programming is basically the same old, same old, and very simple; example get behind an machine gun enemies come from no where and run around, making them easy targets. Also enemies are always out in the open and never have the the sense of danger, making them easy targets. What ca I say the enemy is smarter, but still not realistic.

I've noticed they have added a little bit of an Indiana them like in the mission The Search for Yahama's Gold, when you lead a small task force to find the secret Japanese Treasure, along with an 007 feel like Singapore Sling, when you must covertly gather enemy intell behind enemy lines.You also even get to ride on an Elephant, with a machine gun placment, in The Bridge Over the River Kawi level. Pretty, much the same as the Fronline combinding real event, with a bit of an fictional!!! In a lot of the the missions in the Frontline, I got the feeling that the commericals were true "You Are An Army of One", but in this game you depend more on your allies. I myself would perfer the Call of Duty games over the Medal of Honor games though which are 10 times better.

This games though best depicts the Pacific Battle Theater, next to Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault on the PC. Rising Sun is no Call of Duty or Pacific Assault, but it still was fun, I wish the single player could have been better.

MULTI PLAYER:

The multi player is new and improved from the Frontline. You now have co op fun, along with new 4 player fun on, tons of new maps, and characters to top it all off. I had fun playing through the co- op campaign, which was twice the fun, but still too short. Besides that, I liked the new 4 player options, which was very fun playing on some cool maps with your friend hunting the down with a B.A.R, and all of a sudden he pop out with a Thompson, and on your flank comes what's his name with an M1 grand a great choice... you get the picture, it's darn fun, no nothing like Halo 2. If they would have put online play on this game they would have made this game twice as good with more of a replay value.

Overall, I was impressed with the multi player, but I wish it had online options, then I would really be happy.

I can't say this was the absolute most satisfying game out on the market with lack in the single player campaign, and it plainly not being innovative. This game is more of a B class game, that is still enjoyable and some good old authenic WW2 weapons, and events, mixed with a bit of fanasty. EA obviously rushed the game and ended it very weakly, but I have an open mind and I had some real fun. I don't think it's worth $49.99, but if you find it cheaper some where don't hesitate to buy.

Overall, I will give this a 3/5... good game but lacking, and plainly nothing new.

well......no. This game was not as good as frontline or as I had hoped for. The best part of it is the 2 player co op. The game is much to short and needed to be further developed. The opening level (pearl harbor) was way to short, and just boring. It could have easily been much better. Also, to many of the levels take place during the night time. Its hard ot see your enemies, and if you die, you have to go back to your last save spot which could be the begining of the level. Thats one more problem with this game. You have to find radios (which are hidden well) in order to save your progress. If you dont and you die, you may be sent back to the begining of the level and let me tell you....that is frustrating. Once you beat the game you dont feel complete.....you want more....the ending just kind of leaves you there....there should be one or two more levels. Not as good as frontline, rent it and try it out before you go out and buy it.

fun game

Don't let the breakthrough gameplay and success of previous Medal of Honor games trick you into buying Rising Sun. I read some negative reviews, but being an owner of many other fun and challenging EA games, plus MOH: Allied Assault, I knew it couldn't be THAT bad. I assumed that the negative comments were from hardcore gamers that were difficult to please... but I was DEAD WRONG. This game was a disgrace to the quality I expect from Electronic Arts, and is an obvious attempt to grab the cash from unsuspecting fans of Allied Assault. I heard that the team that created Allied Assault left the company, and it's obvious that whoever was left behind doesn't have a clue what they are doing.

Worth Buying

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun has had some negative reactions since it came out. Having bought Rising Sun for Christmas, I'd be inclined to ask why.

First of all, though the graphics may not be up to standards in some areas, they do not detract from the game. The scenery in Pearl Harbour and the cinematics is impressive, and the detail added to the enemy soldiers - getting off their chairs and brandishing swords as they charge at you, grabbing their feet and hopping when you shoot them in the foot - is impressive.

The music is done well. The sound is perhaps one of the highlights; the bullets hitting wood or metal make the situation sound as though you are running through a battlefield, being fired at. The voice acting is done well, and you may find yourself liking the characters.

Finally, despite the relatively short campaign, Rising Sun actually contains a lot of replayability. First off, there's the single player campaign - despite its ten missions, the first two being no longer than 5 minutes long, its bonus objectives and medals present a challenge as you try not to get hit and become more accurate. Co-operative play provides a compaign that differs from the normal campaign slightly, just enough to make it a fresh experience. Multiplayer combat supports up to seven bots and a wide variety of maps to fight on. Replayability value lasts 6 hours? Try a couple of months.

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is underrated and worth buying. I would recommend it as your next first person shooter.

A great but too short of a game

To start of, I am thirteen years old so you know I am a video game freak. When I played this game, it was an OK game. By OK meaning it was an average satisfying game. The best thing about the video game was the graphics and settings. The worst thing about this game was that it was too short. If you're a person who doesn't play many video games and just likes playing two times a week, get this game, but if you're a person who loves intense video games and you can't stop playing, you might want to rethink about getting this game, (I beat it in 5 hours.) If you played Medal of Honor Frontline (the game right before this one,) you would not want to get Medal of Honor Rising Sun because of its length. Don't get me wrong, it was a great game, but the designers ruined it with the shortness of the game. I hope this review was helpful to you.

Frontline was better.

Maybe I am not looking at this game as it should be. Granted I just bought 5 games at the same time.

1. Rainbow 6 3
2. XIII
3. Project Gotham 2
4. True Crimes: Streets of LA
5. (this one)

I got this thinking it would be better then the one before it. I thought the intro would knock the socks off the other but I still think the D-Day scene was way better. The only thing I can say good about this game so far is the sound. Make sure to turn on your 5.1 Surround sound! The AI still looks 2d.
