From that point on, Griffin will lead his troops through the jungles of Guadalcanal and journey to three other locales set within the Pacific Theater.

The game begins on board the USS California, stationed at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack, as players fight to survive the ensuing chaos. The tour of duty can be completed alone or with the help of a friend in a new cooperative multiplayer mode. Players slip into the fatigues of Marine Corporal Joseph Griffin on a mission to rescue his abducted brother from a Japanese prisoner of war camp located somewhere in the Philippines. Yep, there are nine individual maps for online multiplayer gaming which will support up to eight players simultaneously.As alluded to by the title, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun focuses specifically on the Pacific Theatre of Operations in this installment of EA GAMES' best-selling first-person shooter series. There are slight differences when playing in co-op mode over the single-player mode most notable is that both players will really need to help each other out with tasks if they are to be victorious.Īll three versions will include the standard split-screen, multiplayer deathmatch variants, but the big news for PlayStation 2 gamers is the Rising Sun is one of EA's first titles to take the multiplayer action online.

An all-new two-player cooperative mode lets you and friend hack through the entire campaign as a two-man killing machine - which is a most welcome addition (it seems as though fans of the MoH series have been hankering for this option for some time now). Rising Sun is set to ship with some decent multiplayer action.

These minor gripes aside, Rising Sun really sucks you into the atmosphere and tense challenges of the WWII-style FPS genre. Also, for the most part it seems as though EALA might have performed a straight port of the PlayStation 2 (essentially the lowest common dominator) in terms of textures and resolution - this is particularly apparent from the current build of the Xbox version which should really look cleaner and sharper.
