    Severely mediocre. The core gameplay is there, and feels like a PC version of European Assault (a better game), but feels a bit more tactical due to being able to command your squad. However, this point becomes all but null due to the utterluly inept AI. Weapons are weak, sound is all overcompressed and sounds pretty sub-par.

However, this point becomes all but null due to the utterluly inept AI. Weapons are weak, sound is all overcompressed and sounds pretty sub-par. Game has no effective pacing, and drags some segments (like a part where you fight off literally more than 300 soldiers on a hill) and ends some abruptly. The graphics are alright for the time, with some especially good particle effects, shaders, and water. However, textures are fairly muddy and low-res. Like most Medal of Honor games, it has excellent music. Environments are all jungles and villages with no variety, but maps are big and can be fun and tense to explore and fight in. The worst thing about this game is the loading screens... even on a modern machine (8 core CPU, GTX 760) loading screens take several minutes. They happen every level and every time you die, and its absolutely infuriating.

    Overall, its not terrible, but its terribly mediocre. MoH is one of my favorite series, but this is definitely a weak entry.    … Expand

    Game has a huge impact on the beginning but then it slows down.
    Worth to play at least once - a decent MoH game but not the best.

    A game for Yankees only. A game with a "little" anti-Japanese propaganda. Anyway, the graphics are good, but the scripting is not always. The story is not bad, maybe a little boring. The AI is mediocre. What else can I say about this game? It's not a good one, but also it's not a bad one.

    Advantages:
    1) Pretty nice graphics. Despite the fact that I played this game in 2018, I did not pay attention to the graphic component and calmly enjoyed the game.
    2) Good shooting physics. It’s nice to shoot a weapon, and finding some kind of machine gun or rifle, you really feel the difference. 3) Convenient management. Nothing extra. 4) A fairly atmospheric game. I personally liked    Advantages:

    3) Convenient management. Nothing extra.
    4) A fairly atmospheric game. I personally liked how EA implemented the look of the Second World War in this game.
    5) Full Russian localization.
    Disadvantages:
    1) The almost complete lack of plot. I understand that for some games, like Battlefield, the plot is not needed, but if the game does not have a serious binding to the multiplayer, then it should have at least some decent plot.
    2) Characters are boring and uninteresting. Typical heroes of Hollywood action movies, which the four of them can endure an entire army, simply because they are very tough (in the bad sense of the word).
    3) Stupid AI. Stupid cannon fodder, which instead of firing, rushes at you with a gun at the ready.
    4) Monotonous gameplay, which is only sometimes diluted by missions by type of aircraft or cars. The rest of the time you run from point to point and try to stay on this point the only one alive.
    5) Catastrophically small variety of weapons. I can recall only 5 types of weapons (not including pistols and artillery), which could be used constantly. For a shooting-oriented game, this is not enough.    … Expand

    It does not in any way live up to expectation... this is just more of the same. we've had shooters changing these last few months, and mohpa cannot hang in with farcry/halflife2.

    Неплохая, но сильно затянутая игра про Тихоокеанский конфликт 2 мировой войны. 5.5/10

    Average release at best. AI suspect. Certain parts of the game were very scripted where you have to cross a specific line before the enemy activates. Not outright a bad thing, but when you deduce where the enemy will be, you have the spot targeted, and then the enemy shows up and basically has a free shot...frustrating. Just an example.

Savvy gamers mature. With a willingness to spend hundreds if not thousands of bucks per year on gaming relative spends (sometimes you upgrade your machine(s) to run the new games), I expect the richness of experience of single and multiplayer games to improve with time. Realism is a big part of that experience. It's clear that EA is not keeping up with their customer base. Honestly, I can tell you of at least 15 people who have pretty much permanently moved away from purchasing EA games on any platform. I for one have not reached that point, but there are other companies offering much better products...and they're making it a pretty easy decision going forward.… Expand

    Pacific Assault's jankiness severely undermines some generally fun experience.

    Хуже последних двух уровней с высадкой на берег, только мамаша конченого уебана, который расставлял чек-поинты.

    My favorite medal of honor game for sure this was the one that i enjoyed the most among all the games i had as a kid (There wasn't much). I still remember finishing the game i teared up because the game was so hard for me i must have took at least a summer for me to finish. Pearl Harbor mission is still on point still perfect.

    Here comes the question can you play this game today ?    My favorite medal of honor game for sure this was the one that i enjoyed the most among all the games i had as a kid (There wasn't much).

    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.

    It's got frenzied action, a thoughtful storyline, and gameplay that will swallow you whole.

    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.
