    When will they stop making the exactly same game!? There is fun to be had with this title, but its more like an expansion pack for Medal of Honor Frontline. You'll definitley feel like you're playing the same game, with a different map pack and with different enemies.

    Well, the beggining Pearl Harbor level rocked, but it was down hill from there, plus it was far too linear. I'd reccomend a rental, but that is it.

    This game will be one of the best medal of honor games ever to be designed by EA.

    The game play itself was as good as the far superior Frontline and the initial (very short) Pearl harbor mission was incredible, but that's where the postitives end. This game was not much more than a series of jungles as you take a corner and shoot someone, cross a bridge and shoot someone, ride an elephant and shoot someone. The quick ending was a maddening dissapointment and The game play itself was as good as the far superior Frontline and the initial (very short) Pearl harbor mission was incredible, but that's where the postitives end. This game was not much more than a series of jungles as you take a corner and shoot someone, cross a bridge and shoot someone, ride an elephant and shoot someone. The quick ending was a maddening dissapointment and seemed to fall where the middle of the game should have been. Where Frontline had all kinds of extra nuances (shoot a window, it shatters, shoot a hanging pan, it pings and rattles on its hook), nothing of the like was available here. There seemed to be zero AI with the enemy, and apart from the sound effects the atmosphere was equivalent to N64's Doom. I completely regret paying retail price for this disappointing follow up to one of the best games to have been released in the recent past.… Expand

    You have to be kidding! I have had farts that lasted longer than that game! What a rip off! Worst ending ever! It was around 85% shorter than fronline. What a scam! The ending made no sense, you had no clue the game was coming to an end. RIP OFF! THE GAME WAS TOTALL GARBAGE, just like the scumbags who made it.

    I absolutely love this game because of the graphics and levels. I am disgusted though at how damn short it is. 5 little hours and that's the end of a brilliant game. if there were 20 or so levels this would go top. The multiplayer is wicked. (i only found out you could have bots after i finished the game). Great game

    An excellent sequel. The Pearl Harbor mission is incredible! The Banzai charges and enemy AI puts your right there in the jungle.

    If you thought D-Day was intense last year wait till you experience waking up in Pearl Harbor. Possibly the coolest gaming moment I've had ever. Have not finished the game yet but everything I've seen so far has been great. You need this game. Can't wait to play on-line. Look for Bswift on the servers!

    A formulaic, by the numbers FPS with zero innovation, demented AI and a crushing lack of inspiration.

    It's not a bad game, but then again, it's not the be-all and end-all Pacific-theater FPS we expected. The primary emphasis on gloss and glamour over gameplay and challenge suggests that Rising Sun is geared more toward the tyro rather than the savant.

    Quite simply, the game offers nothing that you can’t get in the other games, and can’t have a better time getting in the other games.
