MEDAL OF HONOR RISING SUN PS2 PRO
The game audio was recorded in the Dolby Surround Pro Logic II system, and sounds really convincing. There are some pleasant effects, such as clear, waving water, fluttering leaves on the trees, and changing weather conditions. The graphics and the animation are somehow worse than the Xbox and GameCube versions, although it isn't so bad. The audiovisual layer of the game doesn't deviate from what we could already see in MOH: Frontline. Rising Sun has a very interesting one, starting with cooperative mode in split-screen, through four-players death match, to eight-players team match.


That's when the multiplayer comes into the picture. Single player campaign's con is that it is repetitive. The soldier's inventory is complemented by all kinds of "regenerators" of life energy: food, small and big bandages, and the most effective surgical kits. At the very beginning of the game, we use a huge anti-aircraft gun, trying to hit Japanese "zeroes". All this junk has its counterparts in the real world, of course, and some of it was available to test out in MOH: Frontline (Browning, Springfield, Thompson). The player's arsenal consists of 12 items, among which we can find pistols, submachine guns and machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, and a bazooka. In order to survive in the extreme conditions, we need weapons. Perfect operations are awarded with three types of medals which, in turn, unlock many hidden bonuses which greatly complement the gameplay. It is worth it to perform the tasks given as well as possible, because we are accountable for them. At times, he may call upon the American units wandering about. After that, the player goes into action, where everything depends on Griffin whom he controls. Every mission is preceded by an intro read by the narrator and is embellished with so-it-would seem authentic pictures. The task to do are typical: infiltration of the enemy territory, stealing documents, blowing up targets, rescuing prisoners, and so on. In the 9 missions, the player will visit Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Philippines, Singapore, and the Khwae Noi river with its famous bridge. Those fond of shooting between slanted eyes will assume the role of an American corporal, Joseph Griffin, who takes part in most of the famous battles of the war.
