Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a decent FPS game, but it doesn't quite live up to the reputation that the genre demands. As a big Medal of Honor fan, I can find many things about this game that I loved and many things that i was dissappointed in. Graphics: I was greatly impressed early in the game with the dramatic and action filled Pearl Harbor missions. The depth of the explosions and the attention to detail I found very pleasing.

THE BAD:
Argh! Game Length! It really is scarily short, what you get is great mind, but for what there is, there really could have been more.

Again, RS also has floppy AI. Frontline's soldiers were much more intelligant and 'out there'. They are still ruthless, nevertheless.

Xbox Live doesn't make an appe...
