Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault (2004 Video Game)

Shoot first, ask questions later.

[9/10 · 30 July 2007]

This game is brilliant. You play as a marine, Thomas Conlin. First, you're a green recruit, but at the end, you're a battle hardened veteran. The graphics are realistic. In Boot Camp, you make a few friends, who will be fighting alongside you in the battles ahead. After Boot Camp, you are shipped to Pearl Harbor, where you face and fight the Japanese attack. After Pearl Harbor, you fight on 3 more islands: Makin Atoll, Guadle Canal, and Tarawa Attol. Sometimes in combat, you can make the decision for the squad: Move up, fall back, assemble, or suppressing fire. There are many guns you can use, both American and Japanese. The Japanese soldiers sometimes make lethal Bonzai charges. Once you've run out of health, you don't automatically die, if your medic (Jimmy Sulivan) is nearby, and has medical supplies, he'll save you. But, if you're unfortunate, you'll naturally die, or a Japanese soldier will finish you off. Take back the Pacific one island at a time!
