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.

Great game

The game tells a great story. You feel just like you are a soldier in World War II. The game takes place in Asia : Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines, and also in Pearl Harbor. You walk around and try to find enemy plans for invasions. You send information you have learned back to base. As you look for information you are shot at by the enemy particularly the Japanese. You fight back with machine guns, pistols and poison dart guns. It is really realistic and exciting. It rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Great Game

So, to start out, I bought this game to add to my gamecube collection about 4 to 5 months ago, and have been enjoying it ever since. On vacation I wake up early to play it, and play it all day. The game is action packed, and alot of fun to play. The campaign was a little too easy, beat it in about 4 days. However, the multiplayer mode never ceases to please me. I have 2 other brothers, so we play on split screen alot. I love all the maps we have to play on, and the AI, when cranked up all the way, is TOUGH. Lots of fun, lots of enjoyment, low price. GET IT AND COMPLETE YOUR MOH COLLECTION!!

Highly Underatted Shooter

Ok, so I'm a Medal of Honor FREAK. I have been playing them for years, and I've been COMPLETELY satisfied and MORE for years. That has not changed with this game. I have been playing this game for about a week now, and so far it has packed all the adrenaline, emotion, gameplay, and graphics of the other MOH games.

A must play.

Uh Yeah! Don't Know What Happend

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

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.

Awful

I love all kind of stuff related to war: Series, Movies, Games. But I have to say this game is disappointing. I mean, it has great graphics and the sound effects are great, the controls are mostly easy and it can entertain you. But not for long...

The game has only 9 levels, they are very limited, you don't have all the free-will of moving around as you probably wish even that some levels are pretty big. You only have one path to go and that's it (with the only exception of the ship level).

The last level is very hard, especially the machine guns on the hills.

It has a bunch of weapons, but not enough in my opinion.

Once I find a supposedly secret on the ship level in some lockers and it said it was something like a "god-mode" but I never managed to make that work, I have no idea what they did to that.

The game also is about 4 or 5 hours long... I bought it one day, the other day I beat it and the next week I exchange it for another game.

If I was you I would not buy this game, instead I'll give a try to Call of Duty or something else because this sucks.

Medal of Honor Rising Sun review

I thought Medal of Honor Rising Sun was a fun game. Although I didn't like the fact that at the end of the game you don't get to go save your brother who was captured by the Japanese. You get a pretty good variety of weapons, although you only get to use two Japanese weapons, with I would like to know more about. The B.A.R. is a good weapon, though you only get to use it in one level, and you don't really nedd it in that level. It would come in handy in other levels though.
The multiplayer is fun. You can play online or just with a friend. You can fight in a deathmatch or a team deathmatch.

A review from someone who has played EVERY MOH game on the GAMECUBE.

How does Rising Sun stack up against Frontline and European Assault? Well, at times the game looks great. The jungle assault at night level looks pretty bad. Blurry graphics (N64 anyone?) and a lousy looking jungle. Overall, the game is lacking the graphical beauty of Frontline, but contains enough to make you look around once and a while. The city levels are nice and well textured as is the attack on the jungle temple (beautiful). The music is A+ Japanese themed. There is a LOT of health scattered through the levels, but you cannot trade out your guns. Whatever you start the level with, that's it (with 1 or 2 exceptions later in the game). There are LOTS of save points and the game seems to improve in the later levels. I hated it at first, but after the poorly designed night levels, it started to grow on me. HINT: The Japanese suicide attacks are DAMAGING! I am almost done with Rising Sun and am glad I bought the game. It's no Frontline or European Assault, but it has its good points.
