As my title indicates...this game is a joke. There are five main scenarios: you run through the jungle...shooting Japanese, you run through the trenches...shooting Japanese, you run through the caves...shooting Japanese, you run through the beach...shooting Japanese, and finally you run up the mountain path...shooting Japanese.
You have to continually follow a guy that basically keeps saying the same 3 or four phrases (over and over). For the most part he shoots all the Japanese before you get there because he is faster than you. There is no real difficulty to this game and no strategy. Each mission ends and you feel you just got started. I think the designers of this game were on a low budget because each scenario is the same except for the scenery. They could extend the game by letting you run through the desert...shooting Japanese.
Sure it has good graphics if you like trenches, beaches, jungles, caves, and a single mountain path and you buy games for the graphics only. The guns are somewhat unrealistic and the sounds they make is poor. In one scenario there were three Japanese sharp shooters you had to eliminate...all you have to do is just stand there and shoot them. They are sitting together in plain view and my grandmother could do it.
If you have ever played games like Halo (1-3), Call to Duty (2-4), etc... you will find this game a waste of your money. I wish I could get my money back. Don't buy it if you are use to playing exciting games. I went through it in about 2 hours total in normal mode. I guess the vetran mode would have more Japanese for the guy who runs in front of you to shoot....woopee.
Good game, could be a little better.

It's a good game overall, fun, realistic enough. The graphics are very good. PS2 version was terrible, but XBOX 360 version did not suffer those flaws. Worth buying if you are into FPS type of game, like WWII action, and want to know what it was like to fight Japanese in the Pacific. Some people don't like to follow sargeant or whomever around on the missions, but believe me, without him you would be lost in jungles, caves, or trench networks. You NEED him to find your objectives. Completing them is up to you. You play as private who takes orders regarding the objectives, not as a special forces OSS officer who makes up his or her own missions. It's war, and there is no time for free roaming around. You need to complete your objectives in a timely manner, and it helps to have senior officer to guide you through the missions. It's smart to pick up enemy weapons when low on ammo as well. Difficulty can be chosen depending on experience and combat skill level of the player.
A waste of money!!!

I love watching the, "History Channel".But if this is an example of their ability to make games.Then I suggest that they stick to the one thing they do how to do,and do well I might add,documentry's for t.v.And leave game manufactouring for those who know how,and what their doing.War is hell,and unfortunently so is this game too.
