okay so MOH Rising Sun IS less fun than Frontline but it is still way better than so many other games. adressing the grapics issue, do you have any idea how many pixels it takes to make a jungle? this is an impressive feat considering the engine that was used. the game is short but you're pissing me off with this talk of "5" hours to beat it. on what? easy? so many people are claiming lesser and lesser time to beat it. i.e i just read a reveiw that said it took 3 hours to beat! that's pure CRAP. it took mee three hours to get through the first three levels on normal mode. Frontline is the better game but you have to give Rising Sun it's due. play the Guadlcanal mission again and tell me it isn't cool to walk through the jungle not Knowing what lies ahead. I have just beaten the entire game and found everything and achieved most medals on Normal mode. it is a very rewarding expirience. and look at the phillipine village and you will see that the graphics in the ton and baseball field are better. plus it has a kicking multiplayer(not in Frontline). so please! dont listen to the other liars, rent the game and see for yourself. I will buy the sequel and Pacific Assault for the PC.
P.S dont compare a PS2 game to a computer game there is no comparison between the capabilities of both.
Great Game

This is a great game because it has good graphics, gameplay and features. for example Frontline had decent gameplay but the graphics were a little hazy. Now MOH Rising Sun brings war games to the next level with more WW2 weapons.
A good game with a lot of diffcult parts

This game surprised me when I bought it. Playing the other medal of honor games was a little to easy at times but still it made you feel like you where actually on the beaches of normandy. The opening of this game plays really good and I was surprised that before you could even pick up a weapon you had to get to the deck of the ship first. This is a lot harder than you would think it would be, having to put out a fire on the way and then once your up top firing at planes dive bombing you.
Like I said though this game has its hard points where you have to actually use your brain before you can get past the level. By far this Medal of Honor game bring the franchise forward in leaps in bounds. I was totally surprised to see that they put you everywhere in this game that you could go. You fight in Pearl Harbor first on top of your ship then firing a machine guns as you go around the level. The graphics could be a little better but I am glad that Medal of Honor is finally getting out of the european war. 5 Stars isn't enough I give this game a 6!
excellent game - far too short

i rented this game with no previous experience playing a first person shooter. at the beginning, i was confused, but after successfully beating the first three missions, i was a seasoned veteran in this type of game. i beat the game in 4 days, utterly glued to my ps2 the entire time. this game is excellent, but it would be much more wise to rent it than buy it.
A fun game but way too short.

Rising Sun starts out with a lot of action and maintains a good storyline all the way through. Its just too bad that the game ends right when it starts to get real interesting.There is a lot of amazing scenery and great variety where the action takes you. Overall I think it was a very nicely designed game and it would be great if they could make a part 2 to pick up where this one left off. Definitely worth playing even with the shortcomings.
X-tremly disapointing

One of the first games i got was medal of honor frontline, and it was lots of fun. It gave you a sense of im the greatest and no one can stop me when you are running around and shooting people in that game, and it is great how you can like feel the bullet puncturing their skin and it givs you great satisfaction, and also its funny(like when you hit a kraut in the foot and he jumps around holding his foot or when they are running in to walls etc.) I got this game thinking it too would be awesome but i was dissapointed. I finished it in like 6 hours and i have to admit, it was kind of fun the first time. But in this one, you get just as much satisfaction from shooting the japanese dudes as you would standing in an empty room and throwing a pebble against the wall for the whole afternoon, and although it still has lots of the same blips that were amusing in the first game, in this one they just kinda seem stupid. Pretty much the high point of the game is when youre in the boat in guadalcanal and tis dude gets eaten by a alligatter.
TOO SHORT & THEY NEED A SEQUEL?

First of all, I'd like to say that this is a great game. The game is suspenseful, making you watch your back at first, until you realize nobody will come up behind you. The most difficult mission is the mission with the train (a lot of grenades thrown at you). But, the game is too easy, WAY too short (I finished it in 2 days, and I'm not a hardcore gamer), and the ending leaves you with a cliffhanger, so they'd better make a sequel or NOBODY will be happy. MOH: Rising Sun has decent graphics, but nothing special. They have a major clipping problem, too. The best parts of the game are the Pearl Harbor mission and the letters from home. This is the first MOH console game with that feature. However, that doesn't make up for the price. I'm a loyal MOH fan, but this game is worth $30 max.
Disappointing

Frontline is my all time favortie PS2 game, so I had really been looking forward to getting this game. All I can say is that the only thing this game shares with Frontline is the name "Medal of Honor". Boring game with lame levels and storyline make this game a terrific waste of money. Whereas I still play Frontline from time to time I will never play Rising Sun again now that I have completed it. Should have just rented it as I can think of better ways to waste 50 bucks.
