I got this along with MOH:AA Warchest and having been wowed by it's predecessor, this turn out to be a very disappointing experience. Off the bat, the game starts off with one of the worst "tutorial" in history. There are "blatant" in your face tutorials but at least there at quick to the point and end quickly. Pacific Assault thought it was being clever trying to dress it up as part of the intro ( via flashback ). But come on... it felt almost like a half a misson level by the time I completed the "tutorial" On the game itself, the tight game mechanics and shooting were nowhere to be found here. I felt I carry pea shooter with the weight of a MG42 no matter what weapon I was holding. After experiencing WWII Euro campaign, it was actually quite refreshing to see on set in the Pacific region. Although it wasn't as epic as the Normandy beachhead level but it got the job done. Missons levels were a mixed bag. A lot mid-level game loads and un-exciting objectives made for a forgettable game. Buy it only for the Pacific setting.
The WWII FPS genre basically blossomed from this game. Admittedly, the graphics have not aged well and doesn't support widescreen natively but the game mechanics are as tight as ever. The missions are varied enough that the entire game doesn't feel like you are just checking objective one by one. Good Buy !
