Medal of Honor

Strengths: The weapons catagory of course! Have you seen all of those different catagories? They are definetly a huge strength!

Weakness: Their number of disks. It makes the game less attractive to players if they have to switch out disks in the middle of thier game.

Over all this game is awsome for kids who love war games. It has action, adventure, and it shows you what went on in World War II. Though the two disk thing makes the game less desirable. At least it makes that up in graphics and weapons. Also by graphics I don't mean it has a ton of blood and gore in it. The weapons though are awsome! They look so real half the time you forget they aren't. So...

Great for first timers!

Strengths: Pearl Harbor level. Nice feel for the weapons of the period. Sounds are great.

Weakness: Don't feel that graphics are up to speed. Multiplayer isn't the greatest. Unclear objectives at times.

MOH Rising sun is another attempt to reclaim the fame that was found on MOHAA for the PC. It appears that the opening of the game was where it had the most thought put in. Because from there, it seems to go downhill. The gameplay is at best generic, and mulling through objectives seems to be quite a chore. As I found myself endlessly trying to figure out what to do next. That's not to say that...

Medal of Honor

Strengths: The sound quality is pretty good

Weakness: Very generic and uninspired

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a generic first person shooter. It takes place in World War II and if you've played a few fps with that theme, then you have essentially played this game. There is nothing in this game that will hold your attention for a more than a couple of days and the production values aren't as high they should be coming from a big company like EA. I reccomend you skip this game...

A fun one

Strengths: Excellent storyline and challenging gameplay... easy to pick up and progress

Weakness: Easy to get stuck... lost

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is another good installation in the series by EA... Overall it's a very challenging, playable game. For whatever reason, I prefer these types of strategy/shooter games on the computer... possibly because it's easier for me to control with the mouse. All said and done, it's easy to get going in this game, yet challenging to get 'good' at the game. Very playable.. you'll...

Good WW game

Strengths: great graphics, like the pearl harbor background of it

Weakness: none

This is my first Gamecube game of world war background. I like the game. It has good graphics and fun game play. The story line of the game is not that deep but still good enough for a shooting game like this. If you have a little history knowledge of the background the game is set in, you will have more fun from it. Some may say this one is not as good as the other Medal of Honor games. Since...

What have you done to my beloved Metal of Honor...

Strengths: Good graphics, well made, and the cinamatic feeling is still there.

Weakness: The game isn't finished, if it was made for the PC, they would have released a 400MB patch for it already, and called it Rising Sun 2.0

The game play is a chore, the AI isn't really complete or thats not the right word. The AI seems to just not work, the characters seem to just run at you like komakasies, and others just stand there taking shots till they die. The other elements of medal of honor are there, including an impressive peral harbor attack. The game is just imcomplete and could have been really good, could have..

Medal of Honor Rising SUn

Strengths: gameplay is very fun and very addicting if you like the others MOH games this is just another good title.

Weakness: This version is not as good as the first two titles but if you are a hardcare MOH fan then this will fix your craving.

Game is very good. The beginning story line was visually stunning and very exciting. You will enjoy this either if your the first time MOH player or a hardcore fan like me. The learning curve might be a little long for first time first person shooter but it will worth all your time.

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun

Strengths: Graphics nice but not as hot as Splinter.

Weakness: scenarios to difficult.

This game rocks because of muti-play. The whole family can join in on the eneny destruction. Destroy all enemies and then eat soup from their skulls! Punish, and finish the job!@

Disappointing MoH title

Strengths: Familiar military FPS from EA.

Weakness: Less than stellar graphics, nothing new here

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is one of the more disappointing games in the Medal of Honor series, not quite what I was expecting after playing Allied Assault and Frontline. Nothing was really added to this game, other than different missions, and frankly I'm happy I didn't spend more than I did on it. If you truly love this genre or the Medal of Honor series, I suppose you will find a way to enjoy...

medal of honor: the rising sun

Strengths: i think that this game had great graphix and there was actually a challenge in this game unlike in the xbox game that game was crap

Weakness: i couldn't really find any real weeknesses

i think that this game could have easily beent he game of the year and the game was totally sick. the graphix were sick but i think the controlles should be a little more crearly inscrobed on the coverbooklet.
