Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The environmental graphics are excellent, though a little repetitive at times (the snow level is a nice touch!). The grass, trees, etc, are very impressive. The animations of your squadmates could use a little fine tuning, however. They just don't have the sense of being 'grounded' and real like in Ghost Recon, for example. Also, the framerate seems to chug at random times. It will run smooth for a while, and then slow to an unplayable rate. Turning down the detial levels doesn't help, and yuo just have to wait. It seems to happen in certain areas of cretain levels. It could, I guess, be a problem with my computer, too, but I have not seen it in any other games.
There are some pathfinding AI problems (getting stuck behind trees and rocks and such), and sometimes your guys become deaf, and don't hear your commands. The guns are cool, though I noticed the ammo usage on the Japanese machine gun is a little wierd. It sounds like its firing super fast, but it uses ammo at about the same rate as the BAR. Strange.
It is very nice to be able to use just one or two guys at a time, and leave the rest behind somewhere. However, there is one more thing here that has bugged me and prompted more than a few start-overs: when you are playing as the sniper and sneaking around, and you switch to a different guy, the sniper will often often INSTANTLY fire on an enemy you didn't see, and bring the entire Japanese army down on your posistion (the AI sniper isn't a very good shot, either).
Even with these annoyances, I still found myself playing through the missions one after another. The world is engrossing (the full bio on each character is cool) and the combat is rather intense.
Bottom line: It's not Ghost Recon of WWII, and it's not Wolfenstien Ghost Recon Style, but it is a fun game. The graphics are good, but not cutting-edge. Besides, it is one of the only games that let you fight in the Pacific Theatre. It is well worth the low $$$ price tag.
