The first ever game I bought for my GC and it was worth it!

A lot of reviews slated MOH:RS but I thought it was and still is a particularly good game. The graphics for the Pearl Harbor missions are top notch and gives it a good touch of realism.

The missions are varied in length and enemies. A past reviewer mentioned some missions lasted for over an hour, this did not disappoint me, as in 'real life' it would have taken days to cover the ground.

Overall all the only down sides of this game are that it is too short and requiring a certain percentage for shooting etc to receive a medal for that mission. The second mission is very difficult, I have only managed to shoot over 70 planes down on very few occasions.

I look forward to the sequel and hunting for Donnie! I have heard it being mentioned that the player will either sneak into Japan via Tokyo Harbour on a submarine or be part of Doolittle's raid!

Good but not great game, very little flaws, high playability and again I am still playing it nearly 2 years after its release.

Not The Best

Rising Sun is an ok game, but compared to other FPS games, it just stinks. The idea is good, theres not really any WWII games based in the pacific. However the storyline for the campaign is short and unfufilling. Its almost as if they cut off the second half of the campaign. The weapon selection is very limited, especially in the campaign. The campaing's selection is restricted to a few U.S. guns, mainly a pistol, M1, and Thomson sub-machinegun. Although once I managed to pick up a Japanese T-11 machinegun. The campaign has it's good sides though, you can do it with 2 people, there are save points throughout the missions and the Pearl Harbor missions are good. If you can complete any mission with the bonus objectives completed as well you get a skeleton key, which unlocks a red chest hidden within that level that contains a multiplayer character skin.

The multiplayer is what I find myself playing most of the time. There is a better weapon selection, it introduces the BAR, Bazooka, and the two Japanese machine guns. There is an ok selection of maps, and you can choose different ranks of enemies, but there is only team and FFA deathmatch modes. The number of playable characters is good, as are the maps themselves. My favorite part of the multiplayer is that you can make bots to play against, so you can play it yourself instead of being confined to the campaign. The multiplayer is good enough to make Rising Sun worth buying. But if you prefer a good campaign then I would reccomend getting Medal of Honor Frontline, or the newer Pacific Assault.

Well fist, I bought the game used after reading all the reviews. Good choice but i still felt a little cheated. I've played all the other MOHs, CODs, and BIAs just like everyone else but damn this game looks horrible but, i guess it is the game cube version, however thats no excuse. Suck it Soldiers! Make a damn good game you can be proud of....Am I LOUD AND CLEAR!

The game to me still plays the same but if it doesn't make you feel like you are in a war and at any moment you could be killed by a sniper or piece of shrapnel then whats the point. Looking at the graphics like one reviewer said, "Nintendo 64 graphics" makes the whole game feel old and out dated

A 2nd Opinion on the best of the MOH games on Gamecube

MOH Rising Sun is the 2nd of three MOH games released on the Gamecube. The storyline focuses on a fictional character who takes part in important battles of WWII and is eventually recruited for secret missions that take place throughout the Pacific. In addition to the missions, the game also includes a 4-player battle mode. So far, this is all standard MOH protocol.

After having played all three of the MOH games on Gamecube, Rising Sun remains my personal favorite and is the only one of the three that I still own. Rising Sun's graphics and audio are comparable to those of Frontline, but inferior to those of European Assault. Still, Rising Sun has two features lacking in the other two installments: co-op missions and fully customizable controls.

The co-op mode allows 2 players to play the same missions available in single player mode. This adds significant replay value to the game, as I was able to go back and re-play the missions with friends. The customizable controls allow you to map every button exactly as you want it. Additionally, the controls can be saved to a player profile, so your friends can customize as well and save their setup for future use. I found this feature to be very beneficial for friends who were used to playing other FPS games, which tend to have varying controller configurations.

If you're only interested in the story mode, any of the three MOH games on Gamecube will do. But, if you're looking for replay value and you enjoy playing with a buddy (or two or three), Rising Sun is your best bet.

this is a great war game with great co-op play. i think the other two lack the co-op. you also get too shoot down enemy planes which is one of the best parts. the difficulty is hard even on easy but it makes it more fun. play all three of them.

This was a ok game. It is definately worth your money, at least for the first time. it gets pretty boring once you try to play it again. Also the ending is really annoying, making you want to play another mission, just to tell you the game is over. Overall, it is a ok game. i would rather stick with the ones on the computer(Allied Assault, Spearhead, Breakthrough).

O.K

This game is incredibly fun, but it is way too short. I beat the game after playing for only a couple of hours or so. The last mission leaves you with no conclusion and is a pretty ridiculous way to end the game. Where is the legendary atomic bombing of Huroshima and Nagasaki? Save your money and just rent the game for a few days.

Some great parts but otherwise don't waste ur money

Before I rented Rising Sun, I had heard a lot of great stuff about it. However I was pretty disappointed with it. The first two missions r awsome, where u shoot down zeros in Pearl Harbor. After that it went down hill.

The missions after that just got boring. Running around in a jungle with only a sniper rifle is just not fun. The fourth mission is one of the worst missions I have ever played, because u r only armed with a sniper rifle and a pistol which u run out of ammo in the beggining. However there were some memorable parts. Like sitting in the back of a moving demolition truck shooting japs, and riding on an elephant with a machine gun on it back. Also many machine guns placed thourought the level is fun, becuase u get to shot at masses of japs.

The last mission though is annoying. The last part of it though is fun. Ur in the back of a zero and u have to escape a sinking carrier, while being shot at by other zeros. In all shooting down zeros is one of the best parts of this game. But after u escape, the game just ends. It has to be one of the worst endings I have ever seen. I heard that there is a sequal, but they could have waited till the sequal was finsihed and combined the two games.

Also this game is extremely easy. I beat it in less than a half a day. While a game like Time Splitters 2 took me a lot longer.

Graphics wise, this game is pretty good. Especially when u get to shoot down aircraft. However guns look really fake.

The plot is horrible. In the beggining they at least could have shown a begining cut seen showing the japs attack Pearl Harbor. Throughout the game u have no sence of connectedness. The missions are very random. Also the cut scenes are not cool at all. They don't show anything. They just show some guy talking to u. That is not cool. And the ending was just plain bad. It really wasn't an ending at all. U just saw a carrier explode. What's up with that!!!

This game is not worth $50. The plot stinks and it is sort of repeative. Highlights are shooting down zeros, riding in a truck while killing japs, and riding on an elephant with a huge machine gun, but otherwise the game stinks. I recomend that u just rent it with a bud, unless ur obessed with the Medal of Honor series.
