Medal of Honor™: Pacific Assault

This is another game I have the retail version of that doesn't even load on my modern system now. Plays just as I remember it - most enjoyable.

Medal of Honour Pacific Assault is great game with a very good plot. Its theme is about WWII, battle between the US and the Japanese Empire. The graphic is fine to me, the sound effect is cool and the soundtrack is fantastic. I got this game for free in Origin and I really enjoy playing it. There are lots of challenges and they are not too challenging for me. Medal of Honour Pacific Assault and Call of Duty 1 are awesome. Their sequels are sucked! What the heck!? The developers don't have imagination or creation, they made call of duty the same and the same. Why don't they try to make something different? They want money because those freaking teenagers love "modern-Call-of-Duty-style" games and f*cking buy them. Those teenagers didn't realise the similarity of the games? And they keep playing and playing and playing until they can only think of Call of Duty! When some body talk to them about first person shooter, they will walk about Call of Duty! Call of Duty is a gamer's brain-washer, it makes people think that the true first person shooter is Call of Duty. The true definition of first person shooter is Doom and Quake. Tose games are fast-paced and shmup! I will accept people who play the classic Call of Duty or Medal of Honour, they are the unique variant of first persin shooter and original. Don't play the sequels and they are just copies of the original ones!

I hated this game. Community theater tier cut scenes. Clumsy game play. Weirdly sluggish graphics on a box that is generations evolved beyond the game release date. As soon as I got to one of the earliest objectives and it was a "beat the clock" mission I knew I was in playing a dud. When you don't have any actual ideas for a game, just add a timer. Anything is exciting if you're under pressure to do it fast!

The game has nice graphics, sounds and an impressive orchestral soundtrack. The whole game consists of diversified action with a big arsenal of weapons and explosions. If you are familiar with ego shooters, you can play straight on and don't need to deliberate on puzzles or something else. You have a compass on top of the screen which shows exactly where to go with no needs to orientate on goony map systems. You don't need to run around endlessly, because the cineastic levels are only designed like corridors. The voice actors are professional. You will find a beautiful vegetation in the jungle with palms, bushes, sand, grass and rocks. The well implemented jungle setting was underlaid with authentic bird sounds, which is absolutely atmospheric. The overall good atmosphere of the game was totally destroyed by stupid arcade action missions. I didn't like the pearl harbour mission inside a ship and the really bad arcade flak shootings on planes which should add some variety. I had to cheat several times to the next map to be able to play through. I couldn't differ frantic american and japanese planes you have to shot down only in a few! seconds to defend an airfield. I wasn't able to steer a plane with a mouse to attack ground targets. Sometimes you will be overrun by endless waves of japanese soldiers which remind me of games like Moorhuhn. Sometimes you have to fire a lot of bullets only to kill a single soldier. Sometimes you can fire through walls. Sometimes bullets were caught from invisible obstacles. Sometimes you get entengled in obstacles or friendly soldiers. The effect of grenades are a bad joke and often the fire range of weapons, too. Why not integrate endless vids to pretend artistical value? It is a disgrace to publish again such a nerving unpolished game. The bad points beclouded the whole gameplay experience. Overall it was a bad shooter I would never come back to. Save your money and better buy allied assault instead.

A lot of squad commanding in the jungle. That about wraps it up. I enjoyed this game like i enjoy any common shooter. Nothing special about it but it has it's moments of fun. It has a nice pace, progressing through the levels, trying to detect your enemies in the dense jungle ( apart from the ambushes and you start to run for cover) The AI is a bit dumb and can catch you off guard. The shooting, i really enjoy it even if at times it is a bit fustrating and the pacing is slow. I'll give this one 4 starts because it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets and 3.5 is not an option
