The U.S. and Japan had a deal. They made and revolutionized video games into the multi billion-dollar behemoth they are today and intern we didn't kill them in those video games that we love to base on WWII. That is untill now. You're a GI stationed at Pearl Harbor who is shipped out shortly after the "day that will live in infamy" and as you island hop you'll visit the dark dank reaches of the jungle to the busy streets of Singapore. There are several multiplayer options that are now the norm in FPS. The graphics are fairly good. The jungles of Asia as well as the city landscapes are well made. The people look a little too similar though often times having me unload a full clip into my own comrade thinking he was a Japanese. Vise versa with me thinking a Japanese was a comrade until he unloaded a clip into me. The sound is good also with great weapon sounds and voice acting. The whole super heroic score is getting a bit old though. Well the controls are well laid out I found them a bit sluggish. I think this is just more to the fact that I've been spoiled by Halo's controls though. For a race that's stereotyped as being smart these sure are some dumb people. The bad AI along with the similar looking characters can cause some big problems. This game has its ups and downs but give it at least a rent. The Pearl Harbor level alone makes it worth a try.
