  • Summary: Step into the boots of a World War II soldier and survive Pearl Harbor. The epic saga of World War II continues with Medal of Honor Rising Sun. The war has shifted to the Pacific Theatre, and its outcome depends on you. Play as Marine Corporal Joseph Griffin in a far-reaching tale of two brothers that weaves its storyline from this title into the next game in the award-winning MOH franchise. As Japanese forces seek to expand their dominion over the Pacific, you must use stealth, commando tactics, and sabotage to turn the tide in your favor. Featuring real-life historical battles like Pearl Harbor and Guadalcanal, over 20 authentic WWII weapons, highly intelligent enemies, and a heroic cast of characters that fight on your side from level to level, Medal of Honor Rising Sun delivers the standard-setting experience for all action games.

    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 graphics looked washed out and lacked textures and seemed dated.
  3. Eurogamer

    A formulaic, by the numbers FPS with zero innovation, demented AI and a crushing lack of inspiration.

    Great graphics, great sound, great storyline, ending was very disappointing and it came way too soon, only nine boards, are you kidding me??? has great potential, but there are many things that need to be improved on, like smarter AI, a little more variety, too much jungle.… Expand
