Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (Game Cube)

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a fun WWII first-person shooter game. The first mission is in Pearl Harbour and is full of action. Unfortunatlly, the first mission is probably the best mission in the game. This game is full of many cool WWII weapons and enemies which makes it pretty realistic and action packed. However, there are only 10 missions in the game and you can play all the missions with 2 players but they are too easy because it doesn't add any additional enemies or objectives for 2 players. I enjoyed this game better than any of the Bond games but I like Medal of Honor: Frontline a little better.

Pros: Lots of action, realistic and historically accurate

Cons: Co-op missions are too easy, controls can be a little difficult to get used to, only 10 levels

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun was well worth what I paid for it. Your 360 degree range of motion makes the combat situations as real as I'd ever want to be involved in. In fact, there are a few times in the game that actually startle you as you have enemy fighters ambush you as you make your way through each level. There's a nice selection of weapons for you to choose from in each stage of the adventure (different weapons used in each board) and penty of changes to gain additional health when you're running low. There are also plenty of save opportunities along the way. The negatives of the game are minimal. It's best to play the game solo because while playing 2-person co-op is fun, the split screen makes for a limited view of what's ahead. And, at rare times throughout the game the graphics can be a little tough to decipher. All-in-all, if you enjoy realisic combat / war games without a lot of blood-and-guts, consider this game. You won't be disappointed.
