Medal of Honor Pacific Assault Review

Danhill · Nov 6, 2004, 02:41 PM

Nearly three years ago, Electronic Arts brought its Medal of Honor series of World War II-themed first-person shooters to the PC in Medal of Honor Allied Assault, and that game went on to become highly influential. By combining intense run-and-gun shooting action with an incredibly authentic atmosphere and some spectacular set-piece battles, Allied Assault helped establish the genre's current high standards. Seemingly countless other historic war-themed shooters have been released since then, so it's become very difficult for such a game to distinguish itself...or even compete.

That sucks. That's what really drove me nuts about the demo. I've turned into an AA elitist and if I can't get it, I don't like the way most games look. Once that is fixed, I will probably give the game a spin.

yeah even at 1600x1200 its noticeable, especially on the vehicles and weaponry. Its a pity too because the particle effects are some of the best ive seen.

I havent really had the chance to play it much today, played the first few levels and yes it looks very nice indeed, certainly graphically its quite impressive, AI isnt wonderful but its acceptable, sound is first class.

Cool.

The outstanding thing in this game apart from the graphics, is the 5.1 sound, the clarity and mixing is the best ive heard, now to repair the windows !

Cool. I hope it's as enjoyable with my 2.1s.

But I actually find more than 2 channels confusing sometimes.

Im sure it will be great on 2.1 as well, the whole game sounds as if they spent masses on the audio side of things, from voice acting, to weapon sounds, music etc. its certainly becoming a test of future speakers with gaming. going to be a benchmark test game for audio, there is a section later on when you jump onto a mounted machine gun and the whole floor was shaking when I was firing it.
