The past two months have been a salivation fest for owners on the Xbox. Hands down this is what we have all been waiting for since first playing Halo and the very few other good titles (Hi tman 2, Frontline, Max Payne, ...

Pros: Diverse cinematic landscapes, challenging missions, Overall fun WWII game.
Cons: Needs a couple more missions to make duration of game longer.

Many Xboxers, and gamers in general, seem to distance themselves from this one. I for one enjoy it for what it is, and not what it is not. Rising sun is a WWII based video game. First person shooter. Based upon the Pacific Theater, which often is ...

Pros: Some Decent graphics. Based on a real event.

I am a fan of this series. Medal of Honor for the Playstation was a great new way to take on combat. We actually were playing out a real scenario. We had realistic weapons for the time period and were shooting up Nazis. It was a lot of fun. Real-time ...

I'm not one to do a review of game software, but Medal of Honor: Rising Sun was so bad, I feel it my duty as an XBOX owner to warn other players away from the game. This game may share the same name as the other Medal of Honor games, but not the quality.

Why was it Bad: 1. Horrible enemy AI: enemies often fail to respond to your shots, have a slow rate of fire, and poor aim. There is no challenge in any firefights unless the rooms are stock full of combantants. At least the enemies can take a bunch of head shots before they go down. Oh, that brings me to -- 2. Poor weapon modeling: Your bullets can't penetrate the leaves of plants, or between rails of fences. Often it's a guess if any sniping shot will reach the target. 3. Short game play -- funny I'd be complaining about that, but at $50 one would expect a longer game than can be completed in an afternoon.

Why was it Good: It wasn't.
