MEDAL OF HONOR RISING SUN GUNS MOVIE

It feels a bit like playing the action scenes from several films, partly because the influence of movie classics such as The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Thin Red Line is clearly visible.

Action sequences pass in rapid succession, providing some truly engaging moments. The game does feature some on rails shooter sections, which means you occasionally find yourself travelling on a vehicle, while shooting everything that comes into range.Дespite being pretty linear, Rising Sun is far from boring. Most of the time there's just one way to complete a goal and even then the way you have to solve the mission is often prompted. Objectives like blowing up stuff is usually done for you by a computer controlled characters, so you'll only have to provide cover. There is a part that invites using stealth techniques, but spoiling your cover is without consequences. Though each mission consists of different objectives, you don't do much besides shooting. Rising Sun is a standard first person shooter, in contrast to shooters with a tactical, stealth or puzzle element. Passing planes, bombardments, distant gunfire, it all sounds realistic. The rattling sound of fifty year old machine guns is convincing, and other sound effects are adequate as well. Changes in gameplay are accompanied by rising music and make the experience more intense. It's much like what you'd expect to hear in a World War II film and therefore creates an exciting atmosphere. It's not a major complaint, but I thought I'd put out a warning to those who think the cinematics are as good as in the beautifully rendered TV-commercial. Though the cinematic quality of the film sequences is all right, the image itself is blurry and a bit unstable. The occasional pop-up can be overlooked, but the framerate drops are annoying and appear unnecessary, since both graphics and artificial intelligence (A.I.) don't seem to exhaust the GameCube's hardware.

Other graphical flaws are machine guns floating in the air and enemy soldiers walking though objects. Textures may look good from a distance they turn into a blurry mess when taking a closer look. The level design is often quite beautiful, such as the bridge in the jungle, the temple and the misty Singapore harbour, but lack of detail and a sloppy framerate spoil the experience. Let's see if the change of locales has influenced the quality of the acclaimed Medal of Honor series.ДЇrom a visual standpoint, this game is somewhat of a mixed bag. Another World War II sim is added to the crowded genre of first person shooters, but this time EA has changed the European shores for the Asian jungle.
