Product Description ------------------- Medal of Honor Pacific Assault gives players a sense of the courage it took to fight the Imperial Japanese Army, from the shock of Pearl Harbor to triumph on the shores of the Tarawa Atoll. Set in the Pacific theatre of operations from 1941–1944, the game has players assuming the role of marine recruit Tom Conlin as he survives the attack on Pearl Harbor, leads the assault on Guadalcanal, and finally charges up the beaches for the climatic battle at Tarawa. Armed with their wits and a variety of authentic weapons, players fight to stop the Japanese war machine in its tracks. Medal of Honor Pacific Assault follows the tradition of previous Medal of Honor games with a brand new arsenal of weapons, new enemies and a new storyline. In addition, it features new multiplayer modes in which up to 32 players can choose soldiers from the American, British, Japanese and other armies. Medal of Honor Pacific Assault also introduces new 3-D technology built specifically for Medal of Honor. .co.uk Review ------------- After the last unimpressive outing of the Medal of Honor franchise on consoles, and stiff competition for many other similarly themed titles, Pacific Assault has a lot to prove. The first spark of originality is the setting in the Pacific theatre, where the enemy is the Japanese Imperial Army rather than the usual Nazis. The main demo level revealed at time of writing is set during the fierce battle for Guadlcanal as you try to repel a counterattack from hundreds of enemy infantry and attacking aircraft. Although the graphics are predictably improved over Allied Assault, the main technical advance here is the artificial intelligence of your squadmates. In a nice touch of extra realism you no longer find power-ups but must protect your squad’s medic so that he can tend to your wounds. In fact the whole system of receiving injuries is now far more realistic as you get whiplash and motion blur and can even be knocked out on the ground and yet still recover if your medic is alive and finds you. With over forty other levels in the game we’re also promised the chance to drive jeeps and tanks and even ride in a US bomber mission, sw between control of five separate ner positions. It’s not clear yet how the game will stand up against other next-gen WWII titles but so far Pacific Assault is looking good and has a number of interesting new ideas to justify its presence on the field. --David Jenkins P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ "No awards for originality [but] a big, fun and stylish FPS with outrageous and brilliant set-pieces 4/5" -- GameSpot See more ( javascript:void(0) )
