Medal of Honour: Rising Sun
Brad begins his tour of duty in Pearl Harbour.

World War II. The one, according to the movies anyway, Britain had very little to do with. And it seems like the videogame fraternity has forgotten us too as yet another doubleyah doubleyah aye aye game has appeared and focuses on the Americans' entry into the war. Starting with the attack on Pearl Harbour, MoH: RS sees you take a tour of duty as a Marine in the Pacific islands. There are certainly worse places to be stuck with a backpack full of ammo, a fistful of grenades and a penchant for shooting anything that moves.
Fans of the series will be expecting various things from this new instalment and I can assure them that these features are all present and correct. Huge set pieces? Check! The opening level in Pearl Harbour is pretty intense. The atmosphere is spot on with the sky filled with thousands upon thousands of Japanese planes. The feeling of being against insurmountable odds is great. Giant warships are being sunk left right and centre and you are right in the middle of it all. It's not only a very nice and exciting start to the game, but good fun even if it is only an "on-rails" section. From there things venture back into more familiar first-person territory with a mission based in the Philippines. And it's here where things start to go a little askew. After such a great opening, things really calm down and never really get going again despite the field Commander's insistence that it's all or nothing. Perhaps it's WWII fatigue, or perhaps the franchise has indeed become stale since the majority of the team left to do their own game, but the certain something that made past instalments so great is definitely missing.
Fear ye not fans of the Honourable Medal! This time there is a superb new co-op mode to brighten even the dullest mission in enemy territory. Utilising the science of split screen gaming you and a friend may venture deep into Japanese controlled areas and shoot them in beautiful unison. While the missions remain pretty much unchanged the addition of having a buddy there with you makes the game a lot more fun. Also included are many online modes for use with the Playstation 2 Broadband Adapter. Unfortunately at the time of writing this I do not possess such marvels of modern technology, but if the co-op and split screen modes are anything to go by, the online stuff should be lots of fun too.
So overall it is not a great game unless you are a huge fan of the series or crave some co-operative or competitive play based in the era that was World War II, though you could certainly do a lot worse. While it lacks the punch of its previous incarnations it is still a solid and reasonably fun game. But you have to ask yourself, how many WWII games can you stomach before you get fed up with them? For me this was one medal too many.

I am eagerly waiting for Medal of Honour:Factory Floor
bluddy good game
the reason why you are having this problem is because you did not take the generals uniform from him in the car
Yes i had that same problem, hes stopping u because its a sign telling you that u have to blow up the car and take his uniform.
wow! this game seem fun to me, i think i should start begging my parents to get it for me!
i had the same problem ............ but when i did it a second time i went back the way i came until i got back to that door and on the way back an action came up allowing me to lay the spikes when i got back to where brummley was i saw a car smashed in the corner
don't actually know how i did it but my advice is to just keep running around until you find that you can use the action to lay the spikes
how do you play multiplayer
if u hav it on ps2 and r using a ps1 controller then it will not work. u ahv to use a proper ps2 controller to play multi player
Go to the car and put the German uniform on.
Enjoying the game. But cant get the door to the kitchen to open at the hotel in Singapore Sling, which has me stumped. Am I just being gormless or is this a bug?
I was wondering if you could tell me if sinking the ship in the game is the last level because it won't let me go to the next mission. because that sucks.

This is to chris, when me and my friend played medal of honour we were on the same level but that never happend to us.
I think your game must be scewd up.
This is to random dave when you said when you said that ps1 controllers don't do you mean on certain games cause me and my brother were able to play pro evolution socer with a ps1 and ps2 controlers.
peace out dudes.
During Singapore Sling, after leaving the conference I go down stairs into the ballroom just as every strategy guide tells me, and I am supposed to go into a door directly to the right after entering the ballroom. I've tried several times and the door won't open! I press X and nothing happens, it doesn't even say door is locked. Am I missing something?
how the hell do u get the 2nd bonus objective on pearl harbour the first is to shoot down 20 planes what is the other one as i have got all the other medals on all the other levels
eat beans man just eat beanz and it will happengo red skull go
the door is down stairs but u must get the film slides from the confrence first
for the second bonus you must shoot down 75 planes. It is very hard
Medal of Honour Rising Sun is a brillant game, much better then Medal of Honour Front Line!
is sinking the ship the last mission?
this is for chris, like everyone else i had the same problem. What you do is you got back to the two walls before the stairs. Press action will come up on the screen, press it, then a car will come past and automatically drive into the wall. You then go up to it take the german uniform and now bromley has moved.
No ways Front Line was much better, smoother flow and better gaming experience. I have just sunk the carrier and afterwards it pops up with the credits and then the option to "save and continue" I do this and bingo it does not save and I cannot progress - not impressed I was looking forward to this game.
Rr
hi, i was just wonderin if there is a sequal to rising sun. if there is, wot is it called?
Just got MOH: Rising Sun and there is no way to select multiplayer or co-operative. Am I missing something? And YES, I have two PS2 controllers.
Help!
The 2 player campaign on my game won't work. Why is that?
How did you find the radio station?
In the last building before the ammo depot, there is no way to get to the depot and through the last building. Its on the 2nd mission. Theres a hallway but it goes nowhere. What do i do???
put if its 1 or 2 players
Singspore sling hotel, I got the slides, I can't gety back into the meeting room, I've killed everyone but I can't get out the door Help

During Singapore Sling, after leaving the conference I go down stairs into the ballroom just as every strategy guide tells me, and I am supposed to go into a door directly to the right after entering the ballroom. I've tried several times and the door won't open! I press X and nothing happens, it doesn't even say door is locked. Am I missing something? ( even i have collected the films, is there any given time of escape? please help)
Walk around the edge of the stadium and go down the sewer in the opposite corner to where you entered the stadium.
it seems like every one is having the same problem ( i see kamee, bill, mike and now me) after the summit conference at the hotel, even after grabbing the slides i try to escape and chase bromley, but he disappears behind the first door, i go downstairs and to the right door, kill every guard, but the door never opens, it does not even say the door is locked, i also made in real quick time but does not help...is it a bug or i m missing something?........plz.........plz.............help soldiers
i think the game is a very good first person shooter but the makers could have made the game a little bit longer because i completed it in 4 days. and you also dont find out what happens to your brother on the 2nd mission
i like pie
In the hotel in rising sun, once everyone is dead you are meant to go through the door on the right in the ballroom that takes you into the kitchens.
I can't get throught this door, what's wrong, help please.
further to my last I do have the film cannister.
what the feck is going on????????????
Singapore Sling - Same problem as everyone else how the hell do you get into the kitchen when the door won't open i have the film slides and have killed everyone . Someone please help its driving me mad and spoiling the game.
HELP!!!
there is only nine levels and might be another game stupid ending huh?
calm down and just go to the begining of the hotel walk through the those two striaght doors(don't go up stairs)then go all the way right until your under the second floor look for a door you will know what to do bromley will be there
go outside first
hey - how do you get past being killed by the tank when riding in the back of the explosives truck? Is it timing the shot on the cans along the street to blow the tank? Help - thx
I am stuck I got the game yesterday and I don't know where to go after defending the rooftop with the machine gun. It says 'Hotel Gate Open' but I don't know where that is.
if your on the level i think your on then just destroy the tank (by shooting it for a while) and then a guy will come out of a gate (from a building) on your right. Shoot him and run downstairs (where there are 2 staircases either side and the door is open. run through there to continue
on ps2 enter "BUTTERFLY" at password screen in options menu to unlock all missions
Yer it is but Tanaka get his head cut off!!!
If u step back a little bit after coming down the stairs then two german officers should run out of the two doors kill them and u can go thru! Easy when u think about it "init"!!!
Is there seriously only nine levels? I beat this game in like, 2 days.
I have the same problem. I thought it might be a glitch in the game but it seems like everybody only has nine levels. Weak.
Let me know when you find out. I'm kinda pissed about that myself. What 's up with your bro? Come on.
anyone know how to get to the online PS2 mode?
You should have a walk through.
Singapore Sling Kitchen Door problem....
had the same grief as everyone else....
restated the level and did not double back and save at the same save point twice. i only saved once at every point. In the hotel I then ran past everyone (in my haste to see if it worked....) and lo and behold it was open.
Don\t know if this is a solution for all but worked for me.
Had the same goddamn Ballroom/kitchen door problem. I allready entered the kitchen once, but the chef killed me. The problem could be in that I did double save at the stairs and that might bug the thing. The only problem is, that all the other saves I have are waaaaaaaay before.
medal of honour rising sun should have a infinite health cheat cause its stupid with out it :-p
how do u get mutliplayer on, im rlly stuck :(
whilst i enjoyed playing the game i found it much too easy, in fact i completed the entire game in one day. some of the japs took several head shots before dropping, (even swarzenegger would fold if hit in the head with a 303) not enough missions, what there is is too easy even on hard setting. all in all not a bad game but not worth buying, more a rental bet. 6/10
how much does moh cost in usa? uk is £39.99 which is approx $75. are we bein ripped off bit too expensive for one days entertainment.
every time i try to play multiplayer on rising sun on my ps2 it wont alow me i've completed the game though and i have a ps2 controller in
Jim you are wierd you probably don't have any friends if you gave it a 6/10. The game is brill especially on co op mode. But it is impossible to get 75 planes down on Pearl Harbour which is the second level. Fall of the Phillipines is not the 2nd level dammit
Oh and by the way Jim 7 head shots would kill one. Even 1 or 2 would. So you just made that up. And why don't you rent the game and copy it from a laptop or computer. That just costs about £5.00
This game was so easy i finished it in 3 sittings
I can't get up the stairs in the courtyard where I got the spikes....and don't seem to be able to use the spikes...
RISING SUN AND MANHUNT ARE THE BEST GAMES
i just got it and on the leval wen u have to mend the tank so it moves.
when the tank stops n u hav to go through the double blown out doors wat do i do then
this game is good for Ps2 and pc you should bring out more war games

awsom
rising sun was far worse than frontline, the graphics were worse, and apart from a few levels it was kinda boring
Is the only way to save on the xbox by going to the specified save station?
Is MOH : Rising Sun available for PC's.
I can not find it any where in Australia.
the problem with the door to the kitchen is solved saving again the game in the previous point where you had saved. if you do that, and after load the new saved game you find the door open.
how doo u get past the last level
How the hell do you set up two player ?
Please let me know, as I'm trying to get the girlfriend into games with guns rather than baloons.
Ta
so what is the last level - sinkin the carrier. if so then it sucks.
Re: Medal of Honor Rising Sun: Escape from Hotel problem. Just wanted to add that I've played the level twice and have encountered the same problem both times. The kitchen door will not open. I've been outside. Heck, I've been everywhere.
I wonder if the health canteen in front of the door is the problem? Unfortunately there is no way to injure onself and I'm at full health. Guess I'll have to play it a third time and run like hell for the kitchen door before it closes!
What a terrible game this is turning out to be. Glitches galore.
Guest, it's not the canteen. I have purposely redone the level with an injury sO i could use the canteen and it didn't help w/ the door. I have also tried going to the previous save point, resaving and then doing it and it stillis closed. I have all canisters, saved all POW's, it's just a glitch. I think I will try to redoe the level from the very beginning and save once only at each spot, however, this has really ruined the game for me.
i cant find the missing explosives truck on level 3
