Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (GameCube)
|
|
|
| Description:
Following on from a succession of hugely popular campaigns across numerous formats, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun brings the franchise back to consoles with another engrossing first-person action game. The action is taken to the Pacific Theatre for the first time, plunging the player into the shoes of Marine Corporal Joseph Griffin. Over the course of the game, he has a lot to get through too. There's Pearl Harbor to survive. His brother to rescue. And the small matter of a number of Japanese soldiers who stand in the way… In truth, the formula hasn't moved on much for the franchise, but then it does work spectacularly well. The game's various missions are varied, and they demand elements of stealth, action and a bit of sabotage along the way. And they're not afraid to pull the proverbial rug from underneath to keep you on your toes. As ever, the multimedia elements border on spectacular. The musical scores of Medal of Honor games are rarely given the credit they deserve, but their contribution really can't be understated. The cinematic visuals, however, do tend to hog the headlines, and it's easy to see why. As you fight to complete a mission with explosions going off all around you there's little time to notice them. A couple of mild criticisms, then. There isn't much scope to deviate from the set path through the game, which is very tightly scripted. Not a bad thing, but not something that will appeal to everyone. Plus it would be nice to see a few more risks taken with the Medal of Honor formula. These mild grumbles aside, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is simply a very good video game. It's tense, gripping and desperately addictive. And when you ultimately see the end game sequence, you really will be thirsting for more. --Simon Brew

dissapointing

i bought this game after playing frontline with high expectations. unfortunatly i was dissapointed. i found the gameplay wasnt bad but after a while it was just so boring. all you do is run around and shoot people, and for some people this sounds good but trust me, it really isnt, it is terrible.
some missions dont have any point and some are tedious. really dont buy this game. if u want a war shooter buy MOH frontline.
i hope this was useful. |

Not Great

This game is ok for a while but soon becomes repetetive and is not as good as other Medal of Honor games. I would have given it 2 and a half stars but i couldnt. The reason that i gave this game as high as i did is that the multiplayer is quite good. But if you want to buy you first Medal of Honor game do not get this as it will not give you a good impression of the series. |

Don't spend your hard earned money on this game - it's ok...but the graphics are not as good as frontline and once you've completed it (you will, quickly) there's not much - you won't want to play it on single player again as the gameplay is simply get to a machine gun, a wave of japanese attack you, you kill them easily, and repeat process - soon gets very boring.
Don't buy this one, buy Frontline, it is a hundred times better. |

Huge Disappointment
(February 04, 2004) |

After playing Frontline for many months I have been eagerely awaiting it's sequel for a while. But this is a huge disappointment. I could list all of the faults but other reviewers have already done so and the only reason I can think why the game is this rushed is to get it out for Christmas. |
