646f9e108c When the Japanese declare war on the United States of America with the attack on Pearl Harbour, Corporal Joseph D. &quot;Joe&quot; Griffin fights through the Pacific whilst on a mission to rescue his captured brother. Any fan of the &quot;Medal of Honor&quot; series would like this game. If &quot;Medal of Honor: Frontline&quot; was like &quot;Saving Private Ryan&quot;, this one is more like &quot;The Thin Red Line&quot;. Player starts offPvt. Griffin, a Marine who is stationed at Pearl Harbor on the USS California. The missions cover several battles in the Pacific Theater, and a few espionage operations I won&#39;t give away.<br/><br/>My personal opinion is that it is harder than any of the previous Playstation and PS2 based &quot;Medal of Honor&quot; games. (I haven&#39;t played Medal of Honor: Allied Assault yet) Overall, if you like the series (and don&#39;t mind the control button configuration changing with every new incarnation of the series), you&#39;ll like this game.<br/><br/>**** out of ***** This game is a bit like &quot;Saving Private Ryan&quot; - the best bit of the thing is the starting bit. The Pearl Harbor opening level was hugely intense, realistic, not at all irritating and generally beautifully done - a ten-star job. However, after that, we descend into flat territory. The game&#39;s graphics are very gritty, there are no memorable deaths in the game, the objectives are pretty predictable and the explosions pretty scrawny - and I&#39;ve only reached the Rise of the Philippines. I am sure that the game will get better after this disappointing level, but I doubt it will be anywhere neargoodMedal of Honor European Assault, and the poor graphical qualities leave a lot to be desired. However, the tons of additional features ensure that it is an entry to the Medal of Honor series - but it is the game itself that matters, and on that tone, it isn&#39;t brilliant.<br/><br/>I am hoping that this game will get better - it may have only cost me £4.99, but I would be disappointed to play a pants addition to an honoured game series. No masterpiece so far. 7/10
