Editorial Review

After the last unimpressive outing of the Medal of Honor franchise on consoles, and stiff competition for many other similarly themed titles, Pacific Assault has a lot to prove. The first spark of originality is the setting in the Pacific theatre, where the enemy is the Japanese Imperial Army rather than the usual Nazis.

The main demo level revealed at time of writing is set during the fierce battle for Guadlcanal as you try to repel a counterattack from hundreds of enemy infantry and attacking aircraft. Although the graphics are predictably improved over Allied Assault, the main technical advance here is the artificial intelligence of your squadmates. In a nice touch of extra realism you no longer find health power-ups but must protect your squad’s medic so that he can tend to your wounds. In fact the whole system of receiving injuries is now far more realistic as you get whiplash and motion blur and can even be knocked out on the ground and yet still recover if your medic is alive and finds you.

With over forty other levels in the game we’re also promised the chance to drive jeeps and tanks and even ride in a US bomber mission, switching between control of five separate gunner positions. It’s not clear yet how the game will stand up against other next-gen WWII titles but so far Pacific Assault is looking good and has a number of interesting new ideas to justify its presence on the field. --David Jenkins

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault (PC DVD)


Still Playing The Game on my Windows 7 System. Not finished it yet
The Graphics are good.Very realistic
Very different from normal town etc. locations for fighting
sometimes it is hard to see the enemy, but that makes it more fun to play
All in all happy with the game

Rating: - So underated and is possibly better than the COD series.

This game is so much better than the other medal of honor games at the moment. Yeah the graphics aren't that great considering COD2 is out but it is very fun and exciting to play. It incorporates history into it and unlike the Call of Duty series it is fun to play over and over again with a great campaign. The campaign isn't dull and short like the Call of Duty campaigns set in world war two (apart from COD2). It is severely underated and is a must buy for any first person shooter fan who likes to incorporate some basic tactics into the game. It is so much better than COD waw and much cheaper.

Rating: - Game not working, bad disk!

I received the disc, and it looked like a medal of honour DVD but I tested it on 3 computers and the disk seemed to be empty! Bad seller!!!

Rating: - Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault

This game carries on in a similar vein from the success of the Medal of Honour Allied Assault series whose adventures were based in Europe. If you enjoyed Allied Assault, you will enjoy Pacific Assault too.However frustratingly,the chapters are much shorter, and each new segment of the game takes too long to load up, and the scenery that you have to struggle through is not varied enough.

Rating: - Much better than expected

I have come rather late to this game and find it a great deal more enjoyable than I was led to believe it would be. It makes a change to be fighting in what feels like a really 'foreign' theatre of war. The graphics are very atmospheric and the game generally runs well (even with my antiquated NVidia Fx5700 card). Cloud and battle haze effects are fine and the cutscenes add to the story well. There is a genuine feeling of squad comradeship. Also it makes a change from the original MOH which was far too close in content to 'Saving Private Ryan' - although there are echoes of 'Sands of Iwo Jima' here. Yes - some levels are duller than others, but the grinding relentlessness of this type of warfare is portrayed well. The banzai charges can be un-nerving - don't get caught reloading at these points! Also every game no matter how good is allowed one completely dull and unrealistic level, so there is the ridiculous and highly irritating flying simulation. Also there are suggestions of one or two 'Boss' levels like having to rush up the sub conning tower and blow up incoming torpedoes. If you find some levels impossible, try a cheat and arm yourself with the Thompson and drum magazine!
As a 'Silver Surfer' with military experience I have enjoyed this game several times and go back to it more often these days than the other MOH games. Can be picked up at bargain price too! Well worth playing.
