    PA is a little better than AA, but that's not saying much. It's fundamentally the same game with the very same problems: from the awful modern military shooter gameplay concept (muh cinematics and immershun) that equals the game being consisted of the series of cut-scenes even the implemented mechanics are out of place (team commands), to horrendous collisions detection problems (bothPA is a little better than AA, but that's not saying much. It's fundamentally the same game with the very same problems: from the awful modern military shooter gameplay concept (muh cinematics and immershun) that equals the game being consisted of the series of cut-scenes even the implemented mechanics are out of place (team commands), to horrendous collisions detection problems (both environment and hit detection). You will get stuck over and over again between various objects, you will constantly miss the enemy even though he was hit by 10000 bullets a second ago (I think the only accurate hit detection was in the introductory turret segment - but that's due to horrendously oversized hit boxes on the planes). They will explode and go down like plastic toys.
    It gets boring really quickly. I've never finished it.    … Expand

    An average game from an average development team. It is obvious that EALA has neither the creative vision nor elementary skill level required to create an interesting and compelling FPS. A few

    Shoddy. That's the best word to describe it. In a year that saw Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, and the Call of Duty expansion, Pacific Assault unfortunately looks terribly bad in comparison.

Frustrating gameplay, average graphics (with a disproportionately slow framerate), serious bugs with scripting (events not happening when they should for example, forcing you to reload and replay entire levels), and graphics bugs (destroyed trucks dissapearing leaving bodies 'magically' suspended in mid-air). I should also mention the LAUGHABLY bad physics. Come on EA - tacking on some shoddy physics only makes the game look worse when compared to Far Cry and Half-Life 2. It's a shame that EA seems intent on burying some of their finest franchises (Medal of Honor, NHL, Need for Speed) with a lack of effort. Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is one of the worst shooters of the year, and certainly one of the biggest disappointments.… Expand

    Average game with some nice epic battles, but the game itself ins't worthy of the name Medal Of Honor. Uninspired multiplayer maps, uninteresting gameplay and amazingly dumb flight levels. Safe yourself from this all-around avarage game and buy a good game.

    On ne va pas se mentir, les Medal of Honor, ça a toujours été un peu de la merde ; il ne s’agissait après tout que des con-currents plus ou moins (très) cons des Kevin of Duty annuels de chez Activitron mais démoulés par EA, la bien nommée WCE (Worst Company Ever).

    Mais tout de même, j’avais envie d’essayer celui-là, le « Batailles du Pacifique » puisqu’il traînait sur l’étagère depuis un moment. Je crois bien qu’aucun Medal of Honor ne marche sur les systèmes 64 bits, alors je l’ai installé sur ma vieille babasse sous le Windaube XP, pensant naïvement que… qu’il marcherait ?! que nenni, mon bon, que nenni !

    Pas le choix pourtant, puisqu’il ne marche certainement pas sur les systèmes plus anciens (95/98, ME et consorts…). Et pourtant, j’ai un paquet de vieilles merdes sur cette config qui marchent… très bien ! mais déjà évidemment, quelque chose cloche puisqu’arrivé au menu principal, aucun son, que dalle… après avoir tout testé, aucun choix ne lui convient : pas de son, ducon !

EA some how seems to have made the game for the actual ww2 heros, i'm talking about the 80-90 year old men that fought these battles,, not teens or midage gamers, and its defenately not for kids (M rated). this will be the first and last game i buy from EA.. I even prefer Code name eagle than this,, if any one still remembers that game. the graphics isnt that bad.. but they are not that good either and saying that i mean i dunt understand why its has bad framerates when i set every thing of graphics in the config as low as possible, i have a very good comp and farcry and other games fly on it. i'm giving this game 2/10 just for the story telling and music of it and not game play.… Expand

    Again this is proof that EA can't raise the bar. MOH:PA brings a new graphic engine and it doesn't add up. The graphics are blurry during gameplay. I don't know if this was on purpose because of jungle conditions or just plain stupid. The AI is once again dumb. Your teammates do not respond to your commands nor do they help you out. Controls are slow or unresponsive. When Again this is proof that EA can't raise the bar. MOH:PA brings a new graphic engine and it doesn't add up. The graphics are blurry during gameplay.

    Very poor game. Don't know what happened after Allied Assault but it looks like barely any effort was put in here. The entire game is literally just running around on an island shooting at endless waves of Japs with barely any plot to get you immersed. Gameplay feels buggy as hell. Choppy, clunky movement, stuttery mouse, horrible hit detection. The third one is the worst - 80% of the timeVery poor game. Don't know what happened after Allied Assault but it looks like barely any effort was put in here. The entire game is literally just running around on an island shooting at endless waves of Japs with barely any plot to get you immersed. Gameplay feels buggy as hell. Choppy, clunky movement, stuttery mouse, horrible hit detection. The third one is the worst - 80% of the time you shoot someone accurately, but the hit doesn't register and you end up dying thousands of times. Half-way through the game I gave up and used cheats just to get it over with.

    The graphics somehow look blander and a bit worse than Allied Assault. Going through the entire game without any change of scenery doesn't help either. It feels like you're rushing through the same overused set each mission with very little changes.

    Not to mention that the game runs like **** on modern systems. It's unfair to score old games for their performance on today's PCs, but this takes the cake. Crashing on startup, crashing during gameplay, crashing every time during a certain scripted event (had to use the console to skip this level). Very often some game-breaking bugs occur like a door not opening when it's supposed to, or a soldier not following you.

    I own the game on Origin, but I had to apply a cracked exe to get it to work on widescreen and fix a bunch of other game-breaking stuff because the original exe doesn't allow any modifying. So basically, zero support from Origin for this game.

    The only good feeling I got from all this is when I finally got to delete it. Aahhhhh yes.    … Expand

    I don't like this game. It's really bad when we compare with Call of Duty series.
    Game's AI is really bad.

    It was fun at first but starting with the plane chapter and continuing with the last chapter it started putting me off. Plane flying and shooting mechanics are trash even for the time the game was released, and in the last chapter the game leaves the player in the middle of D-Day with only 12-23 HP. Overall, its not even worth playing, devote your time to at least "playable" video games.

    If there had been more variation on mission type, enemy AI hadn't cheated, and the feel of the weapons had been more solid, the gameplay could have lived up the awesome presentation value that the rest of the package promised.

    Perhaps it's because after countless other games, particularly Call of Duty, those once magnificent scenes of senseless destruction no longer have the impact they once did. Scripted sequences have perhaps gone as far as they can go with these games.
