Dull
I can only assume this game was developed in response to pc gamers who wanted a Rising Sun port. Yes there is a Pearl Harbor mission where you ride around in a boat and shoot planes, but that's where the similarities between this and RS end. The rest of the game devolves into walking through nearly identical jungles, shooting away at shrubbery, and getting killed a lot by enemies who can see you through grass and bushes.

Better than MOH: Rising Sun.
While its not as big, or content rich, as the Allied Assault War Chest, It's still a very good game. This time around, the developer went for a more cinematic approach, and introduced squad commands and for the first time in the series ADS. As the name suggests, this game takes place in the Pacific Theater of World War II, as opposed to Europe, making it one of the very few MoH games to do so. By the time this was made, Medal of Honor and Call of Duty were in an arms race of sorts. Each new game of their respective franchise trying to outdo the competition. Pacific Assault also shows of, what was for the time, an impressive new game engine, rather than the same modified Quake 3 engine that was seriously showing it's age by 2004. What's here is a really immersive game that positively whoops it's console counterpart "Medal of Honor: Rising Sun". If you can get it cheap, go for it.

narrow corridor shooter with flaws
Pacific Assault follows the theme of Allied Assault: A war epic reminiscent of the movie Saving Private Ryan and the mini series Band of Brothers, both directed by Steven Spielberg who also wrote the stories for the first three games in the series. Despite fighting with your squad, it's not of much help except for the corpsman which can heal you on a limited number of times - often 2x in my playthrough on difficulty 'Hard'. If you take cover behind a tree or rock and prone to the side to take care of attacking enemies, you cannot rely on your mates to cover the other side and will often get stabbed to death. The corridor - be it a valley, jungle path or trench - widens sometimes for enemy installations like control posts but you get under fire when you approach unless a sneaking approach has been scripted in. If there is thick foliage, the enemy will still shoot through it at you while you are not able to see them. There can be bugs like your squad members spawning outside of the playable area and you will have to finish the end of the previous mission to fix it. Aiming can get stuck and one has to switch to desktop and back to the game to fix. There is no in-game option to activate windowed mode, according to the forum it can be configured in a text file. The game might be best suited for players who enjoy a shooter which requires taking cover often, don't have too high demands on graphics and like to fight hordes of enemies from time to time. If you want a game which makes good use of the squad setting, look for a different game, e.g. Hidden & Dangerous where you can control every member and assign different weapons to them. For a less narrow corridor-y single player tactical shooter (in its exterior levels) released in the same year, check out Far Cry.

More FPS nostalgia!
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is a solid WWII FPS from 2004 that runs great on modern hardware and will transport you back to your youth, when you had much more time to play games! Google, and you'll find some simple config file changes to support widescreen resolutions without needing mods. The graphics are improved over Allied Assault (which you would expect, as the game came out two years later), and the sound effects and music create a great atmosphere as you battle the Japanese forces in the Pacific Theatre. I didn't find the missions as varied and interesting as Allied Assault, which is why this is only a 4/5 star review. After training, the first mission in Pearl Harbour can be difficult, as you need to make your way through a ship and the route through the decks is not at all obvious. Add in burning steam and fires as the ship takes damage and this can be challenging to get through!
