Medal Of Honor Rising Sun Platinum (PS2)

Compred to previoud titles in the series AI has improved, when doing missions as part of a team your computer buddies are actually quite helpful, instead of running around aimlessly shooting at random like they did on MOH on frontline.

You can now save your game at various points in each level meaning you don't have to redo the entire level when you get shot right at the end.

There's a few extra thing to do like shooting enemy planes down from a boat although this does not really add much to the game overall.

On the downside the graphics are not great and the scrolling a bit jerky which ruins the gameplay as it's quite hard to see where the baddies are a lot of the time. MOH frontline (the previous title in the series) was much smoother and had a far better feel to it.

Overalll not bad, especially for the price but disappointing compared to previous titles in the series. For anyone who's not played MOH before would recommend buying MOH frontline instead.

Armed with his wits and a variety of authentic weapons, it's up to players to stop the Japanese war machine in its tracks. Players can even team up with a friend in the all-new co-op multiplayer mode to battle the Japanese forces. Along the way, players will earn awards and medals for their meritorious service in defeating the enemy.

As with the original Medal of Honor, the producers sought council from numerous outside sources to make certain the game is as historically authentic and realistic as possible and EA continues to work closely with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to ensure Medal of Honor Rising Sun reflects the ideals and integrity of the prestigious Medal of Honor. In addition, Capt. Dale Dye, who served as military technical advisor on the previous titles in the Medal of Honor franchise, continues his efforts with the Medal of Honor Rising Sun team to ensure the authenticity of the game.
