INTRODUCTION ...
Advantages: One of the best FPS titles on PS2 Disadvantages: Frustrating at times and too short
The Medal Of Honor series has been around for a while starting up on the PSX this is its second title on PS2. It now faces fierce competition from Timesplitters 2 and this year's much awaited FPS game Killzone. So it has changed its atmosphere from the Nazi's to the Japenese Empire.
The game starts at Pearl Harbour and your'e right in the thick of the action. You watch in awe in the opening scenes as you watch your comrades die right in front of you and then you have to survive and takedown the Japenese planes with your comrades.
You play as Joseph Griffin a US Marine who's station is in Honolulu.
The game has great graphics like previous MOH titles however in RisingSun you get multiplayer and online modes which you didn't get in Frontline. The graphic's are good because you can see the sun beaming down through ...
Advantages: Great graphics, great sounds, great game. Disadvantages: Not enough missions
0815 Hours, December 7, 1941, you are woken in your cramped space of a bed to fight an un-winnable war, you are an American soldier, you are to fight from pearl harbour onwards, against the rampant Japanese.
Yes, Medal of Honor is back again, this time you are fighting against the Japanese, but first I have to say,
THE GRAPHICS AND SOUND IN THIS GAME ARE AWESOME!
There are over 20 authentic WW2 weapons, including the welrod, shotgun, sniper rifle, bazzoka and grenades. They all sound realistic and look like they would have done in real life. The graphics of the surroundings is also great, the trees the (3d) buildings, the enemy planes shooting at you, they all look realistic, there are many places to fight, pearl harbor, jungles, villages, buldings and many more. All the soldiers look and act real, shooting at enemies, defending you ...

Album Notes
Albion Band: Simon Nicol (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); John Tams (vocals, melodeon); Graeme Taylor (acoustic & electric guitars); Ric Sanders (violin, violectra); Pete Bullock (clarinet, baritone saxophone, piano, organ, synthesizer); Phil Pickett (bagpipes, trumpet, shawm, curtal); Ashley Hutchings (bass); Michael Gregory (drums, nakers, tambourine); Dave Mattacks (drums, tambourine). Additional personnel: Kate McGarricle, Julie Covington, Linda Thompson, Pat Donaldson, Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, Andy Fairweather-Low (vocals); Dave Bristow (synthesizer). Recorded at Olympic Studios, Sound Techniques, London, England in 1977. U.K. import. Following the critical success the 12-piece Albion Dance Band enjoyed performing traditional folk dance tunes, various members felt that it was time for a song-oriented project. Leader Ashley Hutchings was preoccupied by the band's involvement with the National Theatre, so he handed the reins to singer and melodeon player John Tams. It was a nine-piece Albion Band that took to the studio in the autumn of 1977, with Tams and Joe Boyd producing. RISE UP LIKE THE SUN comprises originals by Tams and Richard Thompson plus group arrangements of traditional material. The musical palette ranges from the early music instruments of Phil Pickett to the rock guitar of Graeme Taylor (ex-Gryphon), also featuring synthesizers and electric violin, all underpinned by a rhythm section of three Fairport Convention refugees. The sound was further amplified by choruses of guest singers, giving an epic, uplifting quality to such songs as "Poor Old Horse" and "Lay Me Low." This landmark of folk rock was rapturously received. Later, Tams and others departed, ultimately to regroup as the like-minded Home Service, leaving Ashley Hutchings to piece together a new Albion Band. The EMI CD features 4 bonus tracks.
