2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing at best!, December 17, 2007

This review is from: History Channel: Battle For the Pacific (Video Game)

Try as I have I can not see any good things to say about this game other then if you are a history buff it might be nice to see the authentic video footage from the History channel. I am 59 and have seen most of it. The game is simply boring walk and shoot each mission lasts about 20 minuets. If you could run it would only be about 10, but the controls only allow you to walk or crouch. The game, its graphics', and controls are about 10 years behind the times. I felt it was more of an advertisement for the history channel then a game. As has been said before, a total waste of money

Bought this game for my son. He says it is a great game with some challenge but not impossible to make it to the next check point.

WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! IT IS TOTAL CRAP! MEDAL OF HONOR ON THE PS1 IS LEAPS AND BOUNDS BEYOND THIS STEAMING PILE OF GARBAGE. WHERE DID THIS GAME COME FROM?!!!!? GOOD LORD!

I WONDER WHAT THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE ON THE X-BOX 360 OR PS3? THE PS2 VERSION OF IT T0TALLY SUCKS!

BEWARE....THIS HONESTLY IS ONE OF THE WORST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED!
