When I first heard that there was going to be another installment in the Medal of Honor Series, I was really excited and anxious to get my hands on it.  And to hear it was going to be about the pacific part of the war was also a plus for me.  Just recently I rented Medal of Honor:Rising Sun, and to say the least I was not impressed.  Although I didn't complete the whole game from what I saw I thought it was sloppily done.  The opening mission at Pearl Harbor is fantastic but I have one question, why would a marine be aboard a navy ship? I mean there were marines on the island but I don't recall ever hearing that there were marines on the subs and boats.  I then went over to my friends house and he had rented the game also for Xbox and we played the 2 player mission mode and we were on the last level, well there was another flaw.  I wasn't there in the war but I can guess that american soldiers didn't hop on an elephant and use the machine gun on its back.  Maybe I was let down because of the anticipation I had for the game, but it was really a disappointment.  Rent first and then buy if you're pleased with it. Frontline is much better.
