![]() ![]() The mission is successful, and Joe is recommended by Gunny to the Office of Strategic Services and promoted Sergeant. Lieutenant Edmund Harrison, a demolitions expert who blows up the guns for them. The mission is successful, and, along the way, they meet up with Martin Clemens, a Scottish guerrilla fighter and coastwatcher, 2 natives called Selas and Kiep and they rescue P.O.W. Because of this, Gunny gives Joe two Marines and the mission to take out Pistol Pete. On October 14, 1942, however, the Japanese are hammering them with artillery from their position codenamed ' Pistol Pete'. On August 7, 1942, Gunny, Joe and two other Marines are part of a midnight raid on Guadalcanal to take an airfield and destroy an ammo dump before the main assault at dawn. The three successfully get the truck back, and the bridge is blown, but Donnie is still inside a tank when it is overrun by Japanese soldiers, and is presumed dead. ![]() Donnie and the demolition engineers need to blow Calumpit Bridge, but their demolition truck got captured. On January 1, 1942, Joe and Gunny are stationed in the Philippines, where they meet up with Joe's younger brother, Donnie, who is in a Marine demolition unit. After witnessing the sinking of the USS Arizona, they defend the USS Nevada as it attempts to escape harbor. Joe gets in the turret and shoots down planes to defend Battleship Row. He is blown off the ship, but is rescued by a PT boat carrying Gunny, Private First Class Frank Spinelli and Private First Class Silas Whitfield. Joe works to shoot down planes and destroy torpedoes. He makes his way topside, putting out fires and aiding crewmen along the way, and meets up with Gunnery Sergeant Jack 'Gunny' Lauton, his commander. 'Joe' Griffin awakens on the USS California to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Offline multiplayer is also available, where up to four people can play against each other and optionally AI bots. This, however, lacks many things the main campaign has, including the entrenching tool, the machete and most of your squadmates. The game also has a two-player campaign that follows the same plot (except the omission of Supercarrier Sabotage) and allows either player to respawn if the other is still alive. The online mode attracted and retained a loyal player until its closure in January 2007. The online multiplayer was one of the more successful elements of the game, coming at a time when online play titles for the PlayStation 2 were not widely available. It has two multiplayer modes, Deathmatch: a free for all match, and Team Deathmatch, in which the player can choose teams. Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a first-person shooter. It features single-player and multiplayer capabilities (multiplayer terminated as of November 2006) In single-player mode, the player assumes the role of Joseph Griffin of the United States Marine Corps. Rising Sun is set in World War II, during the Pacific War. It's not enough to completely ruin the game, but this kind of lazy execution makes me wonder how much life this franchise has left in it.Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a first-person shooter video game, the fifth installment of the Medal of Honor series, released by EA Games in November 2003. ![]() Japanese soldiers don't react to gunshots whizzing by, can often be found inexplicably staring at walls, and slowly spin in a circle when they miss with bayonet attacks, searching for a new target like a broken robot. As for enemy behavior, it's so embarrassingly bad at times, it's hard not to laugh. Convincing outdoor environments are always tough to pull off, but the big green walls, angular trees, and blurry textures in Rising Sun don't come close. The vast burned-out cities and dense jungle levels are ambitious in design, but in execution they look drab and simplistic. The problems-and they are big problems-are with the A.I. As for replay, alterations to levels for the two-player co-op mode is reason enough to pick the game back up after the seven or so hours it will take you to finish the first time through. The game does have its moments: Escaping from the bowels of a Pearl Harbor carrier, infiltrating a secret meeting of the enemy command, riding shotgun on a gunboat or in the back of a truck-most of Rising Sun's gameplay is solid-but-predictable first-person shooting, but each mission has a special event or two that stands out. It may be called Rising Sun, but I'd say the sun's starting to set on the Medal of Honor series. ![]()
