User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars As real as real can get and then some…
This game is so friggin unbelievable… I downloaded the free demo from EA Games and I just love this. I have to buy the director's edition when I get money. Historically very accurate as to what the battles were really like in the pacific back in the 40's. My grandpa fought against the japs and after playing this game, I have so much more respect for him now than I ever did before not only for what he did for our country with protecting our way of life but also for the intensity and willpower to survive something so brutal and awful. This game has probably close to 50 different weapons. BAR, the M1A1, .50 caliber machine guns, grenades, and so much more…

After seeing what my grandpa went through in the pacific, this game was a very shocking reality about how violent and graphic warfare really is. When the japs came at my character across the airfield with about 50 guys drawing samurai swords, and bayonets attached to their rifles I was like, "oh f***"! I jumped on the .50 caliber and took them all out. If you buy this game, or even just like to play first person shooter games, you will not be disappointed at all… It is worth every penny spent

1 Star Lag and poor hit detection ruin game
I am a huge fan of the original MOH series, loved Allied Assault and Spearhead. I played the MP exclusively for years and still do once in a while. But even for a hardcore fan like me, Pacific Assault was a huge disappointment. I just reinstalled and replayed it recently because I thought well the hardware nowadays should be more than enough for the system requirements, I remember the game ran like crap back when it was released even on high end hardware. It starts off decent enough from Pearl Harbor (load times were much faster) but everything went downhill once you hit the jungle. The biggest thing that bothered me was the mouse lag, lag when you zoom in and out with ironsights and lag when a shot is fired. Also the AI of your squad is for lack of a better word retarded. They seem to love running into my line of fire or when I throw a grenade, either that or they'll just keep bunching up and getting me stuck in a certain area on the map. The enemy AI is decent but annoying at times ie. bonzai charges. But again lag is the main problem. I shoot and I hit but the game says otherwise. Looking at the mouse lag just in single player, I made up my mind and didnt even bother with the MP. Not like it got great reviews either.

4 Stars Good game but costly
This is overall a great WWII game but very costly. first you have to buy the game but then i had to update my graphics card because the game won't run with out it!

4 Stars nice graphics runs fine on my system
Okay, so I waited until this was a bargain-priced game. I'm not one to spend a ton of money getting the very best hardware so I can be on the bleeding edge. Anyway, it runs fine on my HP laptop which I bought January 2007 which comes with pretty good nvidia graphics for a laptop and a wide screen. Load time is significantly faster than Call of Duty 2, another bargain game I picked up about a month ago, so I'm not sure what people are expecting. Yeah, I'm pretty new to these WWII games, so I don't claim to be an expert.

At least one reviewer did not like the Pearl Harbor sequence because he wanted to get straight to the killing. Unfortunately, we got our butts kicked at Pearl Harbor, so that doesn't provide much of a killing opportunity unless you want to play the Japanese side. I actually enjoyed the Pearl Harbor scenes. My Dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor after the war, so I even liked the jeep ride around the base. I was impressed with all the little details, like guys standing around tossing around a baseball or reading a book while some other guys were working on a roof. Everything is so peaceful until suddenly these planes fly over and start attacking. I think that must be exactly how it happened, and I think that's the point of the Pearl Harbor mission, to show how unprepared we were. It was just an intro.

As I just played through most of Call of Duty 2, which takes place in Europe and Africa, I am enjoying playing a game that takes place in the Pacific. Otherwise, the games are very similar.

1 Star Disappointing
I loved Medal of Honor on the Xbox/PS2, so I thought I would give this a chance. As an experienced gamer, I had high expectations for this game. Big mistake. Took forever to install, and the load times are horrendous. I start playing the game, and I get to a part where I need to rescue a wounded soldier. I can't even get through the doors below deck because of the fires, and everytime I attempted it, the guy I was trying to rescue was burned to death.

This game is terrible, not what I expected. I uninstalled it and got rid of it. I do not recommend this game to anyone except diehard military fans.
