I'll agree the friendly AI was utterly fucking useless, however the endless waves and stuff like that is exactly what the Marines/Army faced when in the Pacific Theater. I do agree the Japanese were pretty much bullet sponges but enemies have always been like that in pretty much every Medal of Honor title. I would say out of all the pre-modern war MOHs Pacific Assault feels the most historically accurate and believable.

Actually one the best Medal of Honor games ever....

Allied Assault, Frontline and Rising Sun

My biggest problem (besides some of the ones you mentioned) was the poor hit detection. It seemed like any enemy past 100 meters was impervious to shots. So the few times you would actually get the drop on enemy soldiers, your weapons mysteriously had no effect on them, like they had some mystical Japanese force field.

I actually liked this game alot when it came out, also the History Trivia was really educational (back before Wikipedia turned up) and I sort of learned alot these small snippets of Pacific War history that might not be mentioned in run of the mill history books.

Have to disagree with most, I loved this game, was it as good as Allied Assault? No, but it is amazing. :D

this game was actually fairly decent, yes it's flawed, but you can tell that they wanted the same epic experience that allied assault did so well, and in some ways they kinda pulled it off, I had way more fun with Pacific assault than I did with rising sun and I found way more flaws in rising sun than I did in Pacific assault, either this game is good or I'm just a thick skinned idiot who enjoys crap, but I liked Pacific assault :)

I thought Pacific Assault was really good, I played it years later as I never had a PC as kid. There was great weapon variety and the level design was beautiful. I remember part of one level that reminded almost exactly of a time when I was exploring the bush here in NZ. The fact that the jungles were quite realistic was awesome and the short sections of gimmicky flavour were great. I enjoyed some of the harder and longer fights too.

it was very enjoyable when I got it new

I thought this game was really good. Sure it's got its problems and it's definitely not perfect, but it also has good ideas that work. The tactics of the Japanese are historically accurate and refreshing in comparison with dozens of WW2 games set in Europe. Their surprising attacks, combined with the exotic environment and a more tactical gameplay made it an enjoyable, more realistic take on the era, especially in comparison with Call of Duty. I'd say this was the last good MoH game.

I don't know what the reviewer is talking about except for the poor A.I. but come on this is an old game we're talking about here. A.I. today are still autism. It was actually a powerhouse for graphics back then and a consider it a classic. This game was my childhood !

best game for me good story gets you attached with tommy's story, and the jungles were great, call of duty world at war did not catch me from the start, it was great though. the hero moments and hidden objectives were a great addition to hook me

I remember thinking this was the best MoH games 😔

Had to laugh at the comment at 5-min(22s) when the reviewer said:- "(OMG) 15 minutes of shooting enemies and more still come forward... I thought it was a glitch..."; and Its Funny because if you look at the history of the Pacific war, even until the Korean war, there were MILLIONS of men running day and night into the jaws of death in battles lasting days, rather than a handful or so of minutes.

Thanks for the review. You saved me time man

Far top few games set in the Pacific. It's got such rich potential for a variety of games especially fps.

I remember playing this game all the time as a kid, its one of the few games I ever felt pressure during a gunfight. Jeez. It is a great games.

Problems with this review: 1. Rifles are one hit kills to the chest most of the time, and to the head all the time 2. Weakest entry in the series? Most people would disagree with you on that 3. There is only one defense mission in the game where the enemies keep on coming, it is also one of the best and most intense moments of the game 4. I'm not sure if you're qualified to review a game if you don't know the difference between semi-auto and full-auto 5. SMGs are useless past 10 meters, you're going to be using a bolt-action rifle most of the time

@@stefanustanudjaja5029 They are though. I'm currently replaying the game on realistic. I always take a rifle with a bayonet from one of the Japanese soldiers: one hit to the face and they die, and if you run out of ammo or have to reload when there is an enemy right up in your face, just stab them with the bayonet once or twice.

I actually dug into the files and found that the Japanese rifles are all weaker than their American counterparts, and that weapons do more damage on Realistic. The Springfield rifle kills in one shot, and even the M1 Garand does while also retaining its semi-automatic function. So I tend to just stick to American weapons as much as possible and use the generic ammo pickups to stay stocked up.

I noped out when I got to the point where they decided that I and I alone should be the guy to defend the submarine against attacking Japanese bombers.

I honestly got this game cause I loved the atmosphere the jungle environments provide. The gameplay feels good enough to make me want to go through each level and the gunplay (despite a learning curve) is overall fun in my opinion.

Mate your not ass, you tell it how it is. I highly enjoy your content and find it funny ass. Keep going Gman.

I think, the biggest flaw of this game is the game is not giving enough/clear information about its mission. I oftentimes wander for hours and died a lot, only to found out its actually easy. Another flaw is the enemy is not dead/react after being shot at. Sometimes it happen many times, i think i am missing. But this problem is solved by moving to another position.

They were trying to be accurate with the Battle of Bloody Ridge, the whole point of that level is to survive. You have to the hod the line as much as you can before falling back to the Alamo position

this game is great. played it heaps.

I remember playing this as a kid and having a blast. It was probably the best graphical Medal of honor game I play since it was on pc. I played the rest on PS2. Honestly if I ever did get my hands on it I would probably love it since nostalgia.

Dude, you need to review Allied Assault as well🙂 anyway thx for this one as well!

One of the weakest in the series... Ekhm, sorry, no way. JUST NO! You want to talk about underpowered weapons, try "Call of Duty: World at War" Multiplayer. Use anything other than a submachine gun, and You are screwed. Too many Type-100 submachine guns - this is what kills the realism of Pacific Theatre in this game. And oh God, the Woodpecker - Did somebody forget it's not MG-42? If anything, it's certain glitches that might kill the gameplay. Nothing else.

honestly, one of, if not my favorite games ever

Back in the day I had a blast playing it and I still remember first time I got into close ranged fights and Japanese started to charge at me with katanas and bayonets into melee.

Eh. This game might not have realized everything it wanted to be but I still loved it. It had early animation + ragdoll effects that made combat super satisfying (need to be manually activated in a file nowadays) and the squad system was simple but effective. The Medic was the single best way to handle heals, as you can even be revived. It encourages players to stick with their friendlies because if you're knocked down your allies can cover you long enough to be revived. But a lot of friendly AI was unreasonably inaccurate and the never-ending jungles were frequently uninspired, but I found the gameplay strong and still give it a spin every few years. While I'm not surprised you didn't like it as you can be a pedantic dunce in some of these reviews, I still stand by the night defense mission as being really cool, despite being overly long and vulnerable to the game's inconsistent AI.

I really enjoyed this game. When I got my first computer, I also go a Medal of Honor 10th anniversary disk pack with MOH Allied Assault, Breakthrough, Spearhead, Pacific Assault, and Airborne. Pacific Assault was the only one I could even get to play because Airborne had requirements I didn’t have and the Allied Assault games used safedisk which made it not work.

Shit now I wanna go play this, for the nostalgia...

I remember getting this game in a box set which included BF1942(+Road to Rome), BF Vietnam (No, not BC Vietnam) and Medal of Honor Allied Assault, I still have the box with a bunch of the CDs still in it. Best memories I have when it comes to gaming came from this collection, wish I could relive playing Pacific Assault for the first time as a little kid, I would replay the intro and Pearl harbour intro sooo many times.

I loved this back in the day

That line at 2:35 is the funniest thing I've probably ever heard

Absolutely loved this game! Almost as good as Allied assault. Loved the different setting, the soundtrack and the visuals. Really refreshing amongst all the European and Russian threatres of war we had seen so many times already. Good memories!

Back in the day I loved this game, whatever you say or whatever I could think of it if I were play it nowadays.

back when i was like 8 or something i used to play this and I remember the game would always freeze and crash just before the mission where you fly the plane, id restart the game right from the beginning and grind to that level all over again but it would still do the same shit, i've never played past that bit but i've played the missions before that at least a dozen times

@Gggmanlives do you have a Medal Of Honor Airborne video? Love your stuff man, binged watched for 2 weeks so far and subscribed. One of my favourite channels!

i remember that time, this graphics got me stunned. great graphics, great gameplay with a lot of dialogue and action. loved it a lot. the game characters felt very alive. compared to those "robots" in medal of honor allied assault... how time flies... i played these games more than 10 years ago....

I love the music in this game best damn soundtrack ever

This game is great! It looks very pretty, controls well, have different customized levels of difficulty, weapons are satisfying... Its the best jungle combat video game out there (even better than Vietcong) and is a nice reference to movies like Pearl Harbor, or even better, the thin red line.

I'm constantly just trying to return fire to where I think its coming from. Also don't know the point of giving commands as it doesn't seem to make any difference on completing tasks in the end you always have to do everything yourself and the squad is just there as texture.

I liked this game for what it was and it wasn't as good as Men of Valor or Vietcong, as a jungle fps, but had some unique concepts at that time. It was often frustrating when you saw how the medic constantly got stuck and let you die often.
