The War continues and moves on to the Pacific. Play as the character Corporal Joseph Griffin and determine the outcome of the pacific theatre campaign. Taking you from Pearl harbour to Singapore, you will battle your way to victory. The game does a good job of putting you in the feel of being a war, and at times possibly in a war movie.

Realism is a big part of the Medal of Honor games, and this one is no different you will be equipt with the proper armoury of the time. You will e sent to battle with the M1 Garand rifle, Thompson submachine gun, and M1911 pistol plus many more weapons of the time.

Some of the bad points of the game are the mechanics. It seems that some of the headshots are not as lethal as you might expect from a game based on realism. Also some of the enemies seem to be triggered to attack you by one thing such as distance towards you. The problem with that is you could be slaughtering some enemies very close to another group and they would not hear you. Really these days you should be able to get greater realism in this department.

A nice feature is the 2-player co-operative mode. I personally am a big fan of games that allow you to have a 2-player mode as I believe it adds a great deal of lastability to the game, and these days some of the games do seem to be over with quite quickly. As the good gamers get better, games are being finished quicker and quicker. Two player mode in this game definitely adds something that others in the genre are missing.
