    A masterpiece, plain and simple. From the opening Pearl Harbor sequence, to the rain-soaked midnight raids, to the machine-gun-mounted elephant rides, Rising Sun oozes with jaw-dropping quality at every single turn.

    The game holds onto a lot of the same problems that plagued Frontline and that ultimately sours the experience. Plus, with no online play and murky graphics, the GameCube version is certainly the runt of the litter.

    We were disappointed when "Frontline" failed to take advantage of its World War II settings, but it's galling to see that EA still hasn't got it right with Rising Sun. If there's ever a case against World War III, then surely this is it. [Christmas 2003, p.100]

    It's fun and not many shooting games have a two player campaign.

    I love the level where you get to incinerate 100,000 civilians by fire-bombing their cities. And just when they have had enough and are about to surrender, you get to nuke em! Awesome! Glad that never happened in real life.… Expand

    After the travesty that was Frontline you would think EA might get it right this time. Sadly that's not the case. It's linear levels all the way here. The AI is also extremely dodgey. I would take up a whole page outlining this games problems so I'll just stop there.… Expand
